★★★★★Andrew NobleOur family rented the Hunter 22 for 3 hours, following a successful checkout sail, and we could not have been happier with the experience. The Newport Community Sailing Center staff are tremendously professional experts that excel at teaching. Their full-time staff member, Ryan, is an absolute gem. His expertise in setting us up for success and his enthusiasm was an inspiration to my kids, who came away with a passion to keep sailing. The dedication of this non-profit to making sailing accessible to everyone in the community is crystal clear. Our family is excited to continue supporting them and sailing with them whenever we have the opportunity!
★★★★★chadWe couldn’t be more thrilled with our child’s experience learning to sail! From the very first day, it was clear that this wasn’t just a lesson—it was the start of a lifelong passion. Our child came home each day excited, confident, and eager to share what they’d learned on the water. A huge part of that excitement and growth is thanks to Ryan. Ryan has an incredible gift for connecting with kids—his calm, encouraging teaching style made all the difference. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made learning both fun and empowering. Ryan instilled a strong sense of independence and respect for the water while always keeping things safe and engaging. Watching our child confidently handle a sailboat after just a short time with Ryan was nothing short of amazing. If you’re looking for a sailing experience, with a passionate, professional, and truly inspirational, Ryan is the one. We’re so grateful for this experience and can’t wait for the next season!
