🧭 About All Hands Sailing
All Hands Sailing offers a different kind of sailing experience — one where you’re not just along for the ride.
Our private sailing charters are designed for learning by doing, in the spectacular setting of Narragansett Bay, just minutes from Newport.
Whether you’re a total beginner or have some experience, you’ll spend your time actually sailing the boat — steering, handling the sails, and learning essential skills with a licensed instructor.
We’re proud to have inspired many first-time sailors to fall in love with the sport after their charter with us.
