He was very accomodating to my schedule and highly  professional. He has lots of equipment so finding the right fit for me was not a problem.

Despite the cold temperature, I could enjoy the exploration underwater. We saw clams, blue crabs and antique artifacts!

When my girlfriend suggested sailing lessons as an activity on our vacation, I was a bit…read moreapprehensive. It wasn't being on water that bothered me, it was learning to sail a boat surrounded by billion dollar yachts. We decided to give it a shot at Sail Newport. When we arrived there weren't too many signs pointing to the sailing center. And it only seems as if one person was actually working there. Luckily we got checked in rather quickly and we met our instructor Peter. After picking out some life vests we went down to the dock and got into our boat. After Peter took the boat out onto some open water, he gave steering to my girlfriend and rope duty to me. All I really had to on rope duty was pull them tight whenever the sail switched direction. After a few minutes of sailing, my girlfriend and I switched. Steering was a bit more complicated but I got the hang of it eventually. Peter was a great instructor, we didn't feel nervous at all despite it being our first time sailing. Honestly this was a great experience and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Newport! You can't visit the sailing capital of the east coast and not give it a try.

I've seen this place on Groupon very often and I always wanted to try RI Paddle sports, and then my…read moremom went and bought the Groupon and surprised us with a day of kayak fun! First of all this place is so much fun, it's a little family company I believe and it's super cute, for couples, families and first dates just be sure to call and reserve a spot so there are kayaks ready for you. When we arrived we couldn't find the place it's literally all the way down, just keep going straight until you can't go no more. The only reason why I'm not giving the company 5 stars is because the location is right where everyone has their boats so there was absolutely no parking at all, we parked really far and had to walk far, only concern when you're exhausted you don't want to walk far to get back to the vehicle. When we arrived we were greeted by Ryan, such a sweetheart. They greeted us got us life vests let us choose our kayaks either single or doubles and then we were off. OH wait Ryan did give us instructions first on how to enter and exit, because it was a very busy area full of amazing boats, what a scenery! My mom and I had such a great time, we had 2 hours to explore and even though it was my moms first time she adjusted very quickly and it was very easy to learn! I've done it before but I very much still enjoyed myself. The pictures we got were so great and we had a really great bonding time. There's so much to see and it's so quiet and peaceful. And everyone is just so nice. There was planes flying above, people swimming and fishing nearby but not too close, very relaxing. On our way back we ran into the other kayakers and we all chatted a minute and all reminisced on the great time we had! When we got back Ryan and Cooper were there to greet us and help us out the Kayak's. I really enjoyed it and I would do it again, this place even convinced me I need a Kayak in my life.

I cannot say *enough* wonderful things about Snappa Charters and Captain Charlie! This was my first…read moretime out on a boat in about 7 years, and it was my first time snorkeling with sharks (and also snorkeling in general) ever. From the second we arrived at the dock, Charlie made my friend and I feel completely at ease. One of my favorite things about him is that you can tell from the minute you start talking to him that he's not out to exploit the sharks in any way. After tagging over 2,600 sharks, Charlie really just wants to share his knowledge with you and provide a deeper understanding of these animals. His heart is completely in the right place, and he is amazingly authentic and kind. And as for the actual shark-diving experience, it was genuinely one of the coolest things I've ever done in my life. We had EIGHT sharks around us total, and after a while, they came right up to us! I was nervous at first getting into the water, but after a while, you realize that the sharks are just more curious than anything and far more interested in the fish we were giving them. I could have stayed in the water ALL DAY. I would go back again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Charlie, for your kindness, patience, and natural teaching ability. I had the best day, and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering this amazing experience!

We legit were hooking into 2 and 3 fish on a single rig. I caught sport fish until my arms were tired. After an incredibly active morning we switched over to Black Sea bass and were hooking in left and right. His deck hand was supreme and attentive to keep lines in the water. On the boat ride back she cut the fish into filets and bagged em up! He also offers shark fishing, shark dives, champagne sunset tours and a plethora of other oceanic options. I will be a returning customer without doubt! Cheers!
