Private Charters with Newport Classic Yacht Company

Newport Harbor & Surrounding Coastlines

Newport Classic Yacht Company offers private boat tours & yacht charters around Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay. Our charter yacht, Temma provides a true Rhode Island yachting experience for groups up to 6 without the crowds of regular tour boats.  See Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay the right way! We’ll cruise by Castle Hill, Clingstone, Fort Adams, Jamestown, the Newport bridge, Rose Island, many historic mansions, and the transient mega yachts. Go with a classic charter or request a special route:)

Welcome Aboard Temma, our beautiful 42ft, one of a kind, custom built commuter yacht. Built in 1928 in Boothbay Harbor, Maine by BW Rand's Boat Shop. Originally named Priscilla for the Teel Family in Boston, MA. Before Pricilla, BW Rand's Boat Shop built a Sam Crocker Design with a raised deck. BW Rand later realized that with a couple changes he could improve upon the original Sam Crocker Design. With borrowed molds, the shop spaced some sections, and opted for the long cabin top and adjusted the stern layouts. With a displacement hull, speed was never the main goal for Temma but instead designed to be stable & spacious. With her smooth styling, Temma is a perfect cruiser. Over the years multiple families have been the caretakers of this iconic New England Yacht & each have maintained her perfectly, for the next owners to continue on the legacy. Newport Classic Yacht Co. welcomes you to our private yacht endeavor, Temma.

Narragansett Bay

Here in Rhode Island we are blessed with the calm, convenient and always spectacular Narragansett Bay. The most coveted bay by all recreational boaters. Destinations include Historic Newport Harbor, Brenton Cove, Fort Adams, Castle Hill Inn, Jamestown Shoreline, the Newport Bridge, the upper bay, Potters Cover, Bristol, East Greenwich, Historic Wickford, Plum Island Lighthouse, Dutch Harbor, Oyster Farms and more.

This was the first time I did a private charter instead of a group sail on a larger boat. I do not think I will ever go back to buying tickets for a group sail.

We had such a wonderful time on this 2-hour sail with Captain Dave! It was the highlight of our trip to Newport! We highly recommend it!

PETE & JESS

Absolutely the best experience. Dave was hands down the most amazing captain and made the entire experience so memorable. Do yourself a favor and book a ride with McCurdy's.

Memorial Day ceremony honors NUWC Division Newport employees who made the ultimate sacrifice

Petty Officer 1st Class Larry W. Fletcher enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1967 before joining the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport, then known as the Naval Underwater Systems Center, in 1985 as a member of the Range Support Office.

Three years later, on Jan. 12, 1988, while serving as an aerial spotter for a torpedo exercise being conducted at a range on Rhode Island Sound, Fletcher was killed when the plane in which he was riding crashed. He was 38 years old.

Thirty-four men, including Fletcher, were honored for having made the ultimate sacrifice while serving their country and the U.S. Navy since Division Newport was formed in 1869. All of them have a story about their commitment, but Fletcher’s only was rediscovered recently, and it was shared during Division Newport’s annual Memorial Day remembrance ceremony held on May 22 at the command’s memorial.

“It is important that we all understand the value of our contributions to the warfighters, the fleet, the Navy and the nation, both today and in years past,” Technical Director Marie Bussiere said. “Without the sacrifice and commitment of these brave Americans, Division Newport wouldn't have evolved into the center of excellence for undersea warfare it is today. Their efforts should be remembered not only on Memorial Day, but every day.”

Retired Adm. Scott Swift, former commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, was the guest speaker at the event. In his remarks, he recalled the shooting at the Washington Navy Yard in September 2013 in which 12 people were killed, all civilians ranging in age from 46 to 73. Two weeks prior, Swift had been assigned to the Pentagon as director of Navy Staff.

In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, Swift said he was stunned to learn that, by law, civilians were not eligible for counseling services through the Navy Judge Advocate General’s (JAG) Corps. He said he went directly to the Chief of Naval Operations and explained the situation.

“He said, ‘Just do it.’ The regulations, they just don’t apply. They may have had significance in the past, but they have no significance now,” Swift said. “So we did. We provided those services to civilians.”

That tragedy, Swift said, changed his view of Navy civilian employees.

“I look around at this audience, and I see all of you as Sailors,” Swift told the crowd of roughly 75 people. “You all serve your country, you all have focused on committing yourself to national security and national defense through your service in the Navy. Every one of us is a warrior. Every Sailor is a warrior, regardless of your rate or ranking, what your civilian job is.

“Not only on this Memorial Day, but every Memorial Day going forward, think of yourself as being part of this celebration. You have sacrificed as much as any other Sailor, in uniform or out of uniform.”

When Swift finished his address, he and Division Newport Commanding Officer Capt. Chad Hennings placed a wreath at the base of the memorial that is emblazoned with the names of the men killed while working at Division Newport. Sgt. Kurt Charles of the 215th Army Band in Fall River, Massachusetts, then played a rendition of “Taps” on the bugle.

The stone marker was erected in 1930 at Government Landing in downtown Newport before being moved in 1966 to its current location, under the flag at the warfare center.

Caroline Diette, acting director of Corporate Communications and master of ceremonies for the event, opened the memorial by reading the names of the fallen. Following each one, Petty Officer 2nd Class Alex Hughes tolled the command bell two times. Before introducing Swift, Hennings explained the significance of the tolling of the bells.

“It’s a time-honored tradition in the submarine force,” Hennings said. “Every April, at the submarine birthday balls, the submarine force will gather together and toll the ball once for each submarine that has been lost in our nation’s history through various world wars and conflicts.

“Parallel to that ceremony, what we do matters,” he said. “Your sacrifice, your work on behalf of the nation, the country, the fleet and the submarine force is just as important, and it’s why we observe the same reverence at this solemn event.”

Fletcher’s ultimate sacrifice

A little more than a year before his death, Fletcher was hailed as a hero for an act of bravery. On the evening of Dec. 11, 1986, Fletcher, set to make a patrol of the range, heard a voice of distress coming from the area known as Stillwater Basin (now called Narragansett Bay Testing Facility). In the water was Dirk Patriarca, who had crashed his commercial helicopter in what had been a driving snowstorm.

Fletcher and a support contractor quickly jumped into a 72-foot torpedo retriever boat and came to the aid of Patriarca, who was straddling one of the pontoons of his now-submerged aircraft. Fletcher tossed the man a rope and pulled him to safety. Having lost partial use of his hands and legs because of the frigid water temperature, Patriarca was taken to the Naval Hospital, where he was treated for a mild case of hypothermia.

“I’m just glad the guy’s all right,” Fletcher told reporters the day after the incident. “The only thing I was concerned about was getting him into something warm.”

Thirteen months later, Fletcher was not as fortunate while helping conduct routine torpedo tests. He was riding in a Cessna 152 single-engine plane piloted by Michael Pratt when it crashed five miles east of Point Judith in Narragansett. Pratt was able to escape from the wreckage and was pulled from the 38-degree water, but Fletcher was not immediately located.

After an extensive search, his body was pulled from the water on Jan. 22, 1988. It is believed Fletcher was unable to extract himself from the aircraft before it sank.

Born on Nov. 7, 1949, Fletcher left behind a wife, Margaret Rankin Fletcher, and two daughters, Jade Lauren Fletcher and Trinity Elise Fletcher. A memorial fund was established in his name.

Rhode Island’s Most Expensive Property Lands on the Market for $30M

Rhode Island’s most expensive property, which includes three homes, is up for grabs.

Listed for $30 million, the 3.2-acre waterfront compound overlooks Narragansett Bay in Jamestown, RI .

“It’s one of those places that you have just got to see,” says listing agent Deborah Foppert , of Jamestown Real Estate. “Right as you are coming into Newport and enter the bay, the property is sitting on a bluff overlooking the bay. It’s the first time it is being offered in a very long time.”

Originally named “Harbor Entrance,” the first home constructed here was a 58-room, Queen Anne-style “summer cottage,” as they’re known.

That building was later replaced by three smaller buildings with flexible uses. There are also now two buildable lots here—perfect for a buyer who wants to add more dwellings to the property.

“It was a wedding venue for many years, so it’s pretty special,” Foppert says. “There are three buildings on property, including a three-story main studio that was built in the 1990s as an art studio. The main level is surrounded by glass. … The second floor has a 360-degree view and a glass floor. There is a deck up there. It’s really unbelievable. ”

In addition, the property has one-room cabin with a bathroom, plus a separate, two-story workshop.

Other highlights include 16-foot ceilings, polished concrete floors, and handcrafted Dutch doors.

Perched on a bluff, the property has views that span Newport Bridge and Aquidneck Island to Block Island , Point Judith , and Beavertail .

“You could almost hit a golf ball to Newport,” Foppert notes. “Sailing is the biggest draw to Narragansett Bay, and Newport has some of the best restaurants in the world. It’s kind of like going to Nantucket without having to take a ferry. There are a couple of beautiful coves to swim as well.”

The listing also includes a boat slip at Fort Wetherill Marina.

“You can just walk down the hill to the boatyard and find a guaranteed slip there,” Foppert says.

And for the right family, this property could be a legacy investment.

“An application to the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM) has been approved for an eight-bedroom septic,” Foppert says. “The property is zoned residential, so you could create your own family compound.”

She believes the place will be used as a second home, as it has been “over the past several decades.”
