Newport America's Cup Yacht Weekend — Newport, RI

Destination: Newport, RINights: 3Group: 4–10Season: June, July, August, SeptemberEstimated: $1,800–$3,200/person

12-meter Cup-class racing yacht charter on Narragansett Bay — these are the boats that defended the America's Cup at Newport 1958-1980, restored and rigged for live racing. Captain handles the wheel; you crank winches and trim. Mooring at Castle Hill Inn, sunset rum-and-tonic at the lawn lighthouse. Dinner at the Black Pearl on the wharf. Day two: Bellevue mansion walk in the morning, oysters at Midtown Oyster on Thames Street, second day on the water, gin-and-tonics on the Castle Hill Inn lawn at sundown. Decompression at Audrain Auto Museum — the Vanderbilt's pre-war collection — before the drive back to Logan.

Questions

Do we actually sail or are we ferried?

Captain handles technical sailing. Guests work winches and lines — bring sailing gloves; cleats bite.

Weather?

July and August are reliably clear with afternoon breeze 12-18 kts. May and September are colder but easier on charter availability.

Chef aboard?

Optional upgrade — Castle Hill provisions a chef on the yacht for $1500/day. Or just dine at Castle Hill each night.
