The staff at Sightsailing of Newport is a rude bunch of bullies that have terrible customer service skills. The sails are overpriced for the bad manners of the staff. Try a different sailing company for a more fun adventure.
So sorry for your experience! Overpriced? Newport in the summer? It wasn't that long ago that local restaurants would have TWO menus- one for most of the year and one for the summer! Go figure.
Thanks for writing.
