Block Island Weekend Escape (3 Days)


Coastal Cruising Experience - 80NM /3 Days

Details:

Enjoy a weekend escape to Block Island, just a few hours sail from Newport, RI. Experience the beauty of New England summer the best way possible, by sailing! We’ll get some miles in sailing to and from the island, with plenty of time in between for exploring, diving into Island’s rich history, or just relaxing. This hands-on sailing trip is designed for those who want an introduction to cruising aboard a performance catamaran. Whether you’re an experienced sailor or a beginner, this is the perfect opportunity to refine your skills, relax on the trampoline, and see some of the best that the New England area has to offer.

  • We choose our itinerary based on the weather, but expect daily sailing activities and excursions from one picturesque anchorage to another. Your three-day journey highlights include:

    • Newport, Rhode Island: the yachting capital of the USA!

    • Block Island: a lovely island off the coast of RI, rich in history and natural beauty.

  • During July, Rhode Island experiences its hottest and sunniest weather of the year, making it a prime time for outdoor activities and coastal adventures. Expect average highs around 78°F (26°C), lows near 66°F (19°C), with sunny skies and the occasional rain shower.
