Newport has its share of traditional sailing vessels, but Privateer offers a slightly different experience. If tilting sailboats and ducking under the boom isn't your thing, relax on a 52-foot catamaran and sprawl out on the spacious deck or on the bow netting. The speedy vessel takes guests further in the harbor than many of the sailing ships, and there is a cash bar on board for cheap beer, mixed drinks, and wine. Be sure to move around the boat and ask the crew questions. Much of the commentary comes from the back and can be difficult to hear if you're perched in the front the entire time. Both day sails and sunset cruises are available.
