Sailing with just two to six guests, sailing on Starlight is like sailing on your own private yacht!   (Note: No children under the age of 6.).  

Whether you like the privacy that comes with sailing with just your party, want to explore at your own pace, or are interested in casual sailing instruction, Starlight is the boat for you!  Starlight sails the longest and furthest of any of our boats! And Sightsailing is the oldest company offering private sails of Newport!

Get great views of the Pell Bridge, Fort Adams, Hammersmith Farm, Clingstsone, lighthouses and yachts of all type. Sail past Castle Hill or Mackerel Cove. The scenery is stunning and the sailing is first rate. 

Starlight is an O'Day 34, a very popular cruising boat. We chose an O'Day 34 for our private sails because we believe she offers the best combination of comfort and performance and allows you to discover what sailing is all about.   She is well-appointed, comfortable, and sails well. She is the perfect size for sailing in Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay.  

Sunbathe on her deck while sipping a cool drink or sit back and relax in her comfortable cockpit with stern perch seats. Take the wheel and experience the thrill of sailing!  

Blankets and jackets are aboard for cool evenings. An Igloo cooler is aboard to store beverages and snacks while ice is available for purchase on the wharf.


IMPORTANT NOTE: Boarding and disembarking Starlight is done via a bulkhead ladder so you should be free of any mobility issues. To see the ladder, and more pictures, view the photo gallery in the Starlight section of the website.


Also, we only offer 2-hour charters. We do not offer longer sails. Please do not book two departures back to back. We reserve the right to refund any back to back charter bookings.


Two-hour sailing charters may be booked online. See our FAQ section for answers to many frequently asked questions. If you find Starlight is sold out, consider a private charter on Sightsailer.
