What People Are Saying

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.

RONALD WATANABE

We had such a wonderful time on this 2-hour sail with Captain Dave! It was the highlight of our trip to Newport! We highly recommend it!

PETE & JESS

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.

Newport Classic Yacht Co. is a

Welcome Aboard Temma, our beautiful 42ft, one off custom built commuter yacht. Built 1928 in Boothbay Maine by BW Rand's Boat Shop. Originally named Priscilla for the Teel Family in Boston MA. Before Pricilla, BW Rand's Boat Shop built a Sam Crocker Design with a raised deck. BW Rand later realized that with a couple changes he could improve upon the original Sam Crocker Design. With borrowed molds, the shop spaced some sections, neglected the raised deck opting for the long cabin top and adjusted the stern layouts. Temma was built long deep but skinny enough for just the right amount of power easily pushed along. With a displacement hull, speed was never in the design but stability & space combined with the smooth styling, Temma is perfect for what she does. Over the years multiple families have been the caretakers of this iconic New England Yacht & each have maintained her perfectly, for the next owners to continue on the legacy. Newport Classic Yacht Co. welcomes you to our private yacht endeavor, Temma.

Private Sailing Charters

Private Boat | 2-6 Guests

About this private charter:.

If you like the idea of sailing aboard your own private yacht and are a party of two to six guests, Starlight is the boat for you!  (For safety reasons, no children under 6). 

Starlight sails by private charter only meaning that it is just your group on board the boat.   

Starlight is an O’Day 34 one of the most popular boats in the U.S.  She has a very comfortable cockpit with many nice places to sit and sails well.  Relax in her cushioned cockpit, get an elevated view on her stern perch seats or sit up on the cabin top and stretch out on her foredeck.  There is a well-equipped cabin in which to stow gear or get out of the weather, a cooler for drinks and snacks, a stereo, light jackets and blankets for cool weather, and all required safety gear.

Where will you sail?

Pack a small picnic and come enjoy the spectacular scenery as we sail through beautiful Newport Harbor, into legendary Narragansett Bay and along the shoreline of Newport’s picturesque Ocean Drive.  Your friendly captain knows the history of the stunning sights you’ll sail past and will offer light, informative commentary.  Take the wheel and experience the thrill of sailing, receive casual sailing instruction, or sit back and relax.

What to Bring:

We have an Igloo cooler aboard and you’re welcome to bring your favorite, wine, beer, seltzers or champagne. Please note that no hard liquor is permitted on the private sailing charter. If you’d like light snacks, we suggest you stop at a local market and pick up food on your own. Try Newport Wine Cellar & Gourmet, Drift Cafe or Maho Poke all of which are close to Bowen’s Wharf.

Boarding Restrictions

Note: Boarding and disembarking Starlight is done by taking 2-3 steps up and down a sturdy ladder, permanently attached to a seawall.  Guests need to be able to lift their legs about 16-20″ over the boat’s lifelines and hold on to the ladder to get on and off the boat.

You may see a picture of the boarding ladder by visiting the photo gallery on the Starlight page. 

If you have balance or mobility issues, we recommend you consider a sail on Aquidneck which is our most stable vessel with standard stair and handrail boarding.

Charter Durations

Each sail is 2 hours.  Almost all guests find a two-hour sail that allows them to cover a lot of ground, relax and experience the joy of sailing. 

Availability & Booking

This sail is offered 7 days a week during our peak season. Weekend and select weekdays are offered during our shoulder season.  To view our up-to-date availability or book a charter on Starlight, you may Book Online at any time.

Should Starlight be sold out, consider a private charter on Sightsailer.  Sightsailer is larger and can sail with up to 13 guests, however, we do many charters on her with just 2-6 guests.  More info on Sightsailer can be found here.

For more questions about bringing food and beverage please read under “Private Charters” in the response to the question on our  FAQ  page.

Once you confirm your reservation, your broker will process your payment.

• If you are booking for a single day and your reservation is confirmed more than 7 days in advance, a deposit of either $1,000 USD or 50% of the total cost of the reservation (whichever is greater) is processed immediately in order to hold the yacht. Once your embarkation date is 7 days away, the remainder of the amount due is processed.
• If you are booking for a single day and your reservation is made 7 days or less in advance, the total price of your reservation is processed immediately.
• If you are booking for a multi-day charter and your reservation is confirmed more than 30 days in advance, a deposit of 50% of the cost of the yacht is processed immediately in order to hold the yacht. Once your embarkation date is 30 days away, the other 50% is collected for the price of the yacht, plus the APA, plus the taxes due.

Terms of refunds are dictated by the Charter Agreement. Generally, once a payment is collected, it is non-refundable. In certain circumstances, as dictated by the Charter Agreement, credits can be provided so you will be able to enjoy your yacht charter at a future date that is convenient for you.

Why is there a 3% credit card convenience charge?

Are my payment details saved on the app, what if your servers get hacked is my payment information really safe.
