A quiet afternoon on the Bay can feel a lot bigger when you have the right boat, the right route, and no schedule to manage.

That's the idea behind The Admiral's Club at Wickford Boat Rentals.

You get premium half-day and full-day charters aboard Lorelei, a Sabre 36 Express with classic Downeast lines, a large cockpit, a shaded bridge deck, and a cabin built for comfort.

You can cruise the Bay, stop at a cove for lunch and a swim, or head toward coastal Rhode Island, southeastern Connecticut, and the islands off southeastern Massachusetts.

You can also bring your own food and drinks, or let the Wickford Village connections handle that part.

For Rhode Island boaters who want more than a standard charter, this setup offers something different, because it gives you time on the water without the usual logistics.

Limited memberships are available, so if you want a premium way to spend time on the Bay, reach out to Wickford Boat Rentals.

What would your ideal Bay day look like, a quiet cove, a harbor stop, or a full day out with friends?

You know July 4th is bigger than fireworks.

It started with the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and by 1777, communities were already firing salutes, hosting dinners, parades, and public celebrations.

Bristol, Rhode Island, still holds the oldest continuous Independence Day parade in the country.

That matters here in Rhode Island, because you can feel the history and the waterfront energy at the same time.

Happy 4th from Wickford Boat Rentals and In-Command Seamanship Training.
If your day includes a shoreline view, a family cookout, or a boat ride, you already know why this holiday still gets people out on the water and into the streets.

What part of the 4th feels most like summer to you, the parade, the food, or the fireworks?
