EXCELLENT85 reviewsHolly Stern31/08/2024I just wrapped up an incredible sailing season with On Watch sailing. Sam and Green are incredible captains, thi is a must do if you come to NewportN R28/08/2024Our captain, Kat, was so knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. It was a great experience for us as well as our young kids. We got to sail under the bridge and we even saw dolphins in the harbor! Can’t wait to do it again next year!Mildred McGrath23/08/2024Lyra and Green are an amazing combination. I took sailing lessons with him. He can break very complicated maneuvers down to logical sequences. He is competent, efficient, changes plans on the fly and most importantly safe. When you wish to acquire a new skill you choose carefully the teacher. I chose perfectly. If you have ever pondered experiencing sailing first hand, I recommend Green and Lyra. It was the perfect choice for me and I'm confident it would be true for you as well. Just get started.Drew Girton22/08/2024Thank you Captain Green for a wonderful sail yesterday. You made my daughters, wife, and me feel right at home on the Lyra. The drone videos were completely unexpected and totally amazing. We are already talking about doing it again next summer!drew napp15/08/2024Capt. Sam was great! Had a great private sail ! Very idealJay Voelker12/08/2024We had a wonderful time with Green and Katie on Lyra. They had us cracking up from the moment we stepped on board. They were the perfect combination of relaxed but professional. Green is a wealth of knowledge and shared interesting facts about the area, history and sailing throughout the day. My fiancé got to drive the boat for a bit while I simply relaxed on the deck and took in the views. The drone videos airdropped to us at conclusion of our trip was a nice final touch. Highly recommend!Jason Madigan11/08/2024Capt Green and his team are great! I wouldn’t sail with any other company.Lou Alice Funk25/07/2024I loved this sailing experience so much! It was my first time to try sailing. I was nervous about getting sea sick but I didn’t even get a hint of that. It was just pure joy to be sailing! Can’t wait to sail again.Laura Magan16/07/2024I surprised my husband with a private birthday sunset sale. We were so lucky to have Sam at the helm on the Wren! Although the weather was not perfect and it was a bit foggy, he took us on a great tour of the harbor and was very knowledgeable of the historic sites that we passed and inquired about. The boat was beautiful and he was an expert navigator, able to sail between & around other moored boats that were quite close together giving us a view of some spectacular vessels. Highly recommend this company and will return, likely with kids and grandkids in tow! Thank you Sam & On Watch!Load more
