Schooner Aurora

With her two masts tall under a clear sky, Aurora will take you back to a time reminiscent of the “Tall Ships Era.”

The seaworthy Aurora is Coast Guard certified to accommodate up to 68 passengers and is professionally maintained by her friendly and experienced crew. The Aurora is the perfect venue for a private charter. Coupled with a Lobster Boil on The Regatta Place patio, this 101-foot classic Schooner is a great way to get your out-of-town guests on the water. The capacity of the boat is 68 passengers, and

food and beverage can be served on board. It has a spacious, open deck plan with ample seating for all guests. Catering options are available for special events or private charters including hors d'oeuvres, seafood platters, boxed lunches or an authentic New England Clamboil in Narragansett Bay. Ask up about our rehearsal dinner and sail packages. Please call 401-849-6683 for more information.

The original captain.⚓️❤️

Happy Mother’s Day to the ships that that taught us how to sail steady, weather storms, and never stop chasing the horizon.

Not every wedding is meant for land.🤍🌊

Jessica & Jonathan stepped aboard and let the evening unfold the way it should—at the helm, surrounded by their closest people, with Newport as the backdrop.

For a couple who feels most at home chasing adventure and exploring new places, this kind of celebration just made sense. From “I do” on deck to lobster rolls and more, every detail felt true to them—and exactly how it was meant to be.✨
