Newport’s Fresh Perspectives on Summer Fun

YES! There’s still time to fly over the harbor or sit outside and savor the sea breeze at one of our outdoor eateries. Summer is alive and well. Let Isl and Style Parasail, or one of our other tours, be a part of your experience. Don’t just take our word for it, read how Vagabondish seeks to experience destinations from the highest vantage point possible and how they satisfied their thrill-seeking right here at Bowen’s Wharf. Our Pilot House staff is pretty psyched to be able to offer tickets for helicopter, mansion, railway tours and more. Stop by our kiosk on America’s Cup Avenue or call 401-849-3478.

When you’re parched and peckish then a taste of Paris might be just the answer. Local businessman Mark Bruce has exp anded his Fruit & Smoothie to La Petite Creperie, directly beside the Wharf Pub Newport‘s outdoor deck.

Taking in the views and breezes is easy with Sightsailing, 12 Meter Charters, Gansett Cruises, Fishn’ Tales Adventures and Isl and Style Parasail. We also offer Jamestown Ferry rides, and the launch to the lawn at Castle Hill Inn means you won’t be drinking and driving but enjoying the open ocean views.

COMING UP IN SEPTEMBER

Happy Labor Day weekend everyone, and we hope that back-to-school means we might not see as many kids but many more adults enjoying some special time on the waterfront, and be sure to visit Alex and Ani this Saturday for their in-store Chakra Event.
