We go to Newport every summer and this was our first time trying America's Cup Charter and it will…read morenot be our last. I was looking for something different to do and came across America's Cup Charters. We opted for the daily 2-hour ticketed sail. Our 12 meter yacht was the 12 US 17 Weatherly, which is a legend and one of the three surviving wooden America's Cup defenders in the world. Bruce, Erica (the skipper), James, and Rebecca were super nice and extremely knowledgeable about the boat, sailing, history, and landmarks in the area. Erica had great command of the vessel and was able to make things fun while still ensuring the safety of everyone on board. Due to Covid-19, America's Cup Charter is limiting the number of people included in each tour and requires everyone to keep their mask on. I felt completely comfortable the whole time. I highly recommend the private charter and daily ticketed sail.

I was visiting Newport and had some free time and booked easily on line a seat on a sailing charter…read more. Well... it poured rain prior ... but weather cleared and we went out on schedule 5:30. Excellent value and experience. The Captain was a retired history teacher and his son and daughter were the crew . Excellent people, friendly , knowledgeable of Newport,America cup details, who owns which yachts docked , and made sure everyone had a great time, helped hoist sails, do the grinding, steer boat. I have been on larger sailboats and this boat the Wetherly was smaller and required work by some people on boat and actually taught people how things work during a sail. There was a full group of people and some young kids and it was fun to see how much one boy knew more than I and others about sailing. The kid was infectious how much he was enjoying himself with his Dad ....everyone enjoyed questions, answers, and after 2 hours ; I felt like we were all friends for a long time... The knowledge of the island , the yachts, history of the waterfront houses was truly quite interesting. The son and crew member Teddy was highly respectful of all and the Captain'scDaughter clearly both knew their stuff. The water views at sunset were worth trip alone... what more can I say... easy booking on website ... no drama . Even assured refunds or reschedule if sail was rained out... very fair and reputable. What more can I say ; but anyone visiting Newport should include a sail with this professional run operation. I'll go again in heartbeat and already planning my next Newport visit and another sail with this company.

The boat ride itself was enjoyable - but the scheduling services went by the wayside…read more We booked a sunset cruise for the bride and we were put on a cruise for 7:30pm, having booked this months and months in advance for a large group. However, when we got to the stand at 7pm, we were told the cruise had already left. It was a shock to us all as there was someone local in our group that had gotten there at 6:30pm and said the group was on their way. With some turmoil in the group (we were only there for one more night) and sadness from the bride, we were finally able to get on the next boat for the next day - it ended up being a sailboat and a delightful experience but the staff working there was very rude. It also impacted our schedule for the next day. I wasn't part of the group to talk to the staff to reschedule, but this was all based on what I saw happening. It wan't a very fun experience to deal with the staff. Especially when the booking system made an error, we were not late but they acted like it was our fault we missed the original boat. Nothing special about the ride, no tidbits about the area or the boat itself. The captain was rather sulky. The staff did provide water as it was a hot day, but other than that, nothing super special about this sail out on the bay.

I wish I would have done more research because Captain Mike is 100% a scam artist!!!

I was a victim of racism/racial profiling while vacationing in Rhode Island. Here is my story:…read more I booked a private yacht through a company called Brady Yachting. I told the Captain ‍ Mike that I would be bringing along my 15 year old sister and my 3 year old son. He said it was fine. I spoke with the captain several times on the phone and via email 2 days before, the day before and the day of the ride. First of all, he expressed how he knew for a fact that I couldn't afford the $350 yacht ride. He kept reciting this over and over to me. I was very upset because the hair that's currently on my head is over $500. My baby shower was over $10,000 and I can afford pretty much whatever I want. Just because I am a Black/African American woman doesn't mean that I'm broke and can't afford a lil $350 yacht ride. I was and still am very appalled. It's plenty of African Americans making 6 figures and making more than their Caucasian friends. Caucasians aren't the only bread winners in the world. I would never judge someone over the phone, just because of the color of their skin/race. Then he went on to criticize my name and ask me if he could call me something else for short because he didn't "care" for my name. He asked me "what kind of name is that?" and "why did me and my sister have the same name? (my sister's name has one letter different than mines). I said a quick prayer because I didn't want to go on a yacht with a racist bigot. The Lord heard my prayer and at the very end Captain ‍ Mike canceled my trip. His excuse was that I wasn't truthful to him. He said I never told him I was bringing my 3 year old son. Which was a bald fact lie I told him I was bringing my son from the start, I even asked him was the yacht kid friendly? ‍ he also stated that he was a reverend. God would never call a prejudice person to do His work. You have to love ALL people to be a Christian and do God's work. I would never recommend Captain Mike/Brady Yachting to anyone. I don't condone unprofessionalism, racist, ignorant behavior.
