Newport's dramatic coastline, parks, and historical sites offer great family activities

This beautiful city by the sea offers much in the way of family lodging, entertainment, education and fun. Stay on the harbor and take a harbor cruise, explore a revolutionary fort, have close encounters with real wildlife and sculpted green animals. Find a beach, tour the International Tennis Hall of Fame and walk along the ocean on Cliff Walk. Bountiful local farms offer great food and NE’s “best ice cream.” You’ll find lighthouses you can visit and enough historic landmarks and artifacts to teach your own history class when you get home.

Create an extraordinary family experience when you book a cruise aboard a yacht or schooner

Don’t settle for the ordinary when you consider your next family vacation: Get onboard with an exceptional sailing experience at America’s Cup Charters. It’s a guarantee that the kids will be impressed when you board a magnificent yacht in Newport, RI, including yachts that have won or contended for the America’s Cup, then head out on glistening Narragansett Bay. Or consider a cruise aboard a power yacht like the Prohibition-era Rum Runner, or an elegant sailing schooner. Opt for a ticketed two-hour sail or make arrangements for a charter for your extended family! No sailing experience is required, and you can help raise the sails or take a turn at the helm — or just sit on the comfortable deck and bask in the glow of a great family outing.
