McCurdy Sailing - Our 36 foot sailboat Hurrah

Embark on an exclusive maritime adventure...

When you are looking for the best things to do in Newport, Rhode Island, reserve a private sailing charter with McCurdy Sailing. Unwind and savor the experience as you set sail aboard our 36' sloop, 'Hurrah'. Let our licensed, seasoned, and exceptionally knowledgeable Captain guide you through a captivating sailing tour of the east passage of Narragansett Bay, where many historically significant and breathtaking landmarks await.


Marvel at the former Kennedy estate, Hammersmith Farm, Clingstone, and the iconic Rose Island Lighthouse, each steeped in its own unique history. Whether you choose to take the helm or simply relish the journey, your voyage will weave through Newport Harbor, renowned as the sailing capital of the world. Witness the majestic beauty of numerous sailboats, mega yachts, distinctive racing vessels, and historic America's Cup sailboats dotting the shimmering waters.


'Hurrah' offers comfortable seating for up to 6 adults in the cockpit, complete with a bimini and dodger for those seeking shade. For the ultimate thrill, venture to the bow and immerse yourself in the invigorating salt air and spray. Enhance your experience by bringing along a picnic lunch, champagne, or any refreshments of your choice.

NANCY BREEN

This was the first time I did a private charter instead of a group sail on a larger boat. I do not think I will ever go back to buying tickets for a group sail.

Absolutely the best experience. Dave was hands down the most amazing captain and made the entire experience so memorable. Do yourself a favor and book a ride with McCurdy's.
