Bird's Eye View Helicopters and 12 Meter Charters

12 Meter Charters and Bird's Eye View have teamed up to provide you with the experience of a lifetime. Experience the best of Newport, Rhode Island by air and by sea!

Bird's Eye View Helicopters shows you the "city by the sea" from above. Enjoy the Mansion Tour covering 18 miles of Newport's beautiful sights. A truly unique perspective above the treasures of Newport's gilded age awaits you. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Rosecliff Mansion, Marble House, The Elms and many other famous residences. Get up close and personal with Hammersmith Farm, the Kennedy's Newport summer home, and of course experience The Breakers, all from your front row seat in the sky.

Set sail with 12 Meter Charters aboard the legendary America's Cup yachts to enjoy the best of Newport by sea! Not your typical harbor cruise, 12 Meter Charters' cruises combine the history of Newport, with the unparalleled experience of sailing on an America's Cup contender. Enjoy historic Newport sights including Fort Adams and the Newport Bridge, lighthouses and lavish estates, aircraft carriers and historic schooners, and learn the history of the America's Cup in Newport.

During your sail, you may just sit back and enjoy the sights of Newport or you may participate in the sailing! The captain and crew on board will help those wishing to be involved in the sailing and no sailing experience is necessary to help sail one of our America's Cup 12 Meters. Aboard the yachts our professional and friendly crew will coach those interested in a "hands on" sailing experience, but participation is never required. It's your choice, take part in the sailing of an America's Cup 12 Meter or just relax and enjoy the scenic views of Narragansett Bay.
