Come sail aboard the classic ketch Adventuress. Whether under a full press of canvas or on a leisurely sail around scenic Narragansett Bay, Adventuress is one of the most beautiful classic yachts afloat today.
Built in 1924 by the legendary William Fife of Fairlie Scotland, Adventuress proudly bears the Fife trademark – a pair of stylized Chinese dragons carved into her prows. Reflecting a level of elegance and style unequaled by modern yachts, Adventuress represents a return to the days of the true gentleman’s yacht of the finest lines built to the highest standards. She is also a remarkably swift yacht under sail, often posting off-wind speeds of 12-14 knots.
Few experiences rival the feelings of power, speed and grace as that of sailing aboard a classic yacht. Whether coasting along under billowing sails or plowing headlong into rising seas, at 83 feet on deck and displacing 67 tons, Adventuress is stable and seaworthy. Certified by the United States Coast Guard, she can carry up to 29 day guests or 6 overnight guests.
Adventuress has been painstakingly restored during an extensive, award winning four-year refit. With sweeping teak decks, extended overhangs, a traditional raised panel mahogany interior, gleaming brightwork and plush tufted upholstery, she is a true connoisseur’s yacht and the only Fife design in North America available for group charters.
Adventuress is available for corporate and personal charters, special events, term charters and classic yacht regattas. Whether for an afternoon, day, long weekend or week, guests will experience the grace and grandeur of a lost era. Home ported in Newport, Rhode Island, we can arrange your special event on Narragansett Bay or at another location of your choice.
