New England's Largest Public Sailing Center

The Sail Newport Sailing Center is Rhode Island's premier public sailing site.

Award winning instructional programs, fleets of rental boats and a prime one-design sailing facility equipped with hoists are some of our features. The Dr. Robin Wallace Youth Sailing Center has added to our ability to offer more children a chance to learn to sail than ever before.

Dinghy docks, ramp-launching, summer and winter storage, on-shore conveniences and ample free parking round out Sail Newports' assets to recreational sailors.


Located at picturesque Fort Adams State Park in Newport, Sail Newport offers easy and affordable access to sailing.


Sail Newport’s mission is to promote
and operate affordable public sailing instruction,
rental programs and to create opportunities to
attract new sailors to the sport.
