Half-day or full-day rental?
The upper bay is great for a short sail, we recommend the following itinerary that you will need to adapt to the wind and weather conditions.
What to do in half-day?
- Aim South and pass Conimicut lighthouse
- Head to Colt Park to the East.
- Plenty of water and boat traffic is usually very low.
- If the wind is strong enough, you may have enough time to reach Poter’s Cove of Prudence Island.
What about Full-day rental?
If you decide to spend the entire day you will definitely head South, here is what you can do:
- Best option: Anchor at Porter Cove in Prudence Island for lunch
- Sail up to Warwick neck and Greenwich cove
