Newport, RI
An astonishing 400 miles of coastline beckons boaters to Rhode Island. Known nationwide as the Ocean State, 14% of the total area of Rhode Island is made up of bays and inlets, just waiting for adventurers to explore, fish, swim, or simply enjoy.
Newport is a top Rhode Island sailing destination. In fact, some people consider Newport the sailing capital of the world! It’s home to numerous America’s Cup 12-meter yachts, plus antique vessels, ferries, and more. Bringing your own boat to Rhode Island means you get to explore this stunning city at your own pace. Moor up and enjoy the iconic Cliff Walk, visit the famous mansions, or take a brewery tour. Alternatively, head back out on the water and enjoy fishing for sea bass, tautog (the local name for blackfish), or fluke. Deep sea fishing is a big deal around Rhode Island, so take your best gear or hire an expert!
Of course, there’s more to Rhode Island boating than just Newport. Once you’ve registered your boat in Rhode Island, you can explore huge stretches of coastline at your leisure. Or, you could head to the canals of Providence, the backdrop for the stunning WaterFire art experience that literally sets the night alight every year.
