He is extremely safety conscious and his boat is in great shape . Many charters boats I have been on are old and not that clean . Charlie gives a safety briefing and let us know where life jackets and other safety items were stored on the boat . He also told me that he has been very active in the US Coast Guard Auxiliary. I would highly recommend Newport Yacht Charters and will plan to go out with Captain Charlie the next time my friends and I are in Newport .

I wish I would have done more research because Captain Mike is 100% a scam artist!!! Do not book!…read moreHe said he would be in Boston to provide a sunset sailing in May 2019 and then the week of my vacation he said he would only be in Rhode island at the time I specifically told him I'd be on vacation. He said he would mail me a check for refund and has been avoiding me ever since! I'm still disputing the charge with my bank! Unbelievable!! I can't believe he's still in business!

I was a victim of racism/racial profiling while vacationing in Rhode Island. Here is my story:…read more I booked a private yacht through a company called Brady Yachting. I told the Captain ‍ Mike that I would be bringing along my 15 year old sister and my 3 year old son. He said it was fine. I spoke with the captain several times on the phone and via email 2 days before, the day before and the day of the ride. First of all, he expressed how he knew for a fact that I couldn't afford the $350 yacht ride. He kept reciting this over and over to me. I was very upset because the hair that's currently on my head is over $500. My baby shower was over $10,000 and I can afford pretty much whatever I want. Just because I am a Black/African American woman doesn't mean that I'm broke and can't afford a lil $350 yacht ride. I was and still am very appalled. It's plenty of African Americans making 6 figures and making more than their Caucasian friends. Caucasians aren't the only bread winners in the world. I would never judge someone over the phone, just because of the color of their skin/race. Then he went on to criticize my name and ask me if he could call me something else for short because he didn't "care" for my name. He asked me "what kind of name is that?" and "why did me and my sister have the same name? (my sister's name has one letter different than mines). I said a quick prayer because I didn't want to go on a yacht with a racist bigot. The Lord heard my prayer and at the very end Captain ‍ Mike canceled my trip. His excuse was that I wasn't truthful to him. He said I never told him I was bringing my 3 year old son. Which was a bald fact lie I told him I was bringing my son from the start, I even asked him was the yacht kid friendly? ‍ he also stated that he was a reverend. God would never call a prejudice person to do His work. You have to love ALL people to be a Christian and do God's work. I would never recommend Captain Mike/Brady Yachting to anyone. I don't condone unprofessionalism, racist, ignorant behavior.

I did some research and planning before booking and looked forward to what I hoped would be a good experience. I made a reservation for the 10-11:30am charter and we were simply blown away. Capt. Connor and first mate Ben were punctual, polite, funny, extremely knowledgeable and made us all feel relaxed and celebrated. From the chilled bottle of Prosecco, to cold bottles of water and even sun screen, their service was unmatched. I would highly recommend the Camelot for any celebration or just for a relaxing educational ride around the Newport waters. It was the best way to kickoff the weekend!!!

We fished for fluke along the river and then out to the ocean for seabass, stripe bass, and lots of other fish in the sea! He knew where they were and where to catch them. Access to the river, the ocean and down to Rhode Island the twenty-one-foot Grady White cruised right along power by an ultra-quiet late model Yamaha 200 four stroke. After fishing and catching for hours, Captain Mike narrated a wonderful river cruise past the Back Eddy (a great stop for dinner after your charter), fresh oyster farmers market, fish house and quaint cottages, boat houses, and captains' residence of old. Picture perfect! We enjoyed every part of the day and had a smile on our face for many hours after. Highly recommend Westport Boat Charters with Captain Mike. Book it and you won't be disappointed.

The first time I've seen it was on the show, The Real Housewives of RI. The weather was chilly and drizzly, but it turned out nice for us at our 5 pm departure. It's kid-friendly, we got to stop at a picnic spot with a fire and beautiful views of the water and the Newport bridge. It was easy but exhilarating; definitely a unique experience and I highly recommend. We booked a week in advance. The check in process was seamless. The ride took about an hour and a half with the stop at the picnic spot (there were bathrooms too). There is a parking lot as well. Yes, we would definitely do it again!

We stopped at the scenic waterfront Bayside Station and there was a s'mores bar available while sitting fireside. The wood-burning fire pits kept us warm. After staying there for about 30 minutes, we pedaled back to the beginning. With the same group, the 4 of us did the Sunday Morning Brunch Tour/Bayside Brunch at 9am in August for $270. The weather was a lot better now than in April. We stopped at the scenic waterfront Bayside Station where we were able to use our 2 tickets for alcoholic drinks like Mimosas, Bellinis, and Bloody Marys. Death Wish Coffee and juice were complimentary. There were also complimentary muffins, danishes, and other pastries and fruit. Adirondack chairs were placed facing the water to enjoy the views. The 6 mile roundtrip tour is always an unforgettable experience. The staff are always very friendly and offer to take pictures to capture the memories. A brief instructional talk is always provided at the beginning and now they have a microphone so everyone can hear. Safety is of utmost importance.
