About


The Sail Newport docks are located on the southwest side of Newport Harbor in Fort Adams State Park. While enjoying one of the best views of the Newport Bridge and Sailing Capital of the World, guests of the Sail Newport docks will be steps away from historic Fort Adams, home to the legendary Newport Folk Festival, Jazz Festival, and The Ocean Race Newport stopover. A dinghy ride across the harbor takes you to downtown Newport, or take one of the convenient water taxis.

Sail Newport maintains and manages events for all of the piers except the east side "T" pier, which is reserved for intermodal transport and select commercial vessel pick-up and drop-off services. All touches on the pier must be prearranged with Sail Newport and there is a fee for use.

I have been keeping sailboats of one size or another at Sail Newport for 40 years! Sailing out of Newport would not be possible with out Sail Newport. They are the best!

Sail Newport is a great facility with so much to offer. Whether for dockage, sailboat rental, lessons or events it is a “crown jewel” of this lovely city voted the friendliest in America by Trip Advisor in 2022. Easy ferry shuttles get you right to downtown while enjoying a harbor cruise. Perfect for Yacht Club cruises and large multi-boat rendezvous. Book early as people are starting to discover it!

U don’t suggest this boating company because it is cheap and does not have good service I feel as if they could also have politer employees

Not a good sailing experience, boats were cheap brands and the staff on the boat were rude and made inappropriate jokes around my children
