We had a great time this past weekend sailing on Columbia with Kevin. Nate and Maddie were great too! They're really knowledgeable and listening to their stories was a lot of fun. Columbia is stunning and so were the views. I would definitely charter through them again in the future.

I planned my friend's bachelorette party weekend in Newport and we rented the Heritage sailboat for a group of 15 girls. We had the BEST time! The staff was so nice and at our service the whole time. The boat was perfect for our group of 15. I think they said it holds up to 16 but that may have been a TAD too tight. 15 worked well though. I definitely recommend this! And the price was reasonable compared to other companies I looked into!

A once in a lifetime experience, the captain and crew make it look easy. The sailing trip was wonderful, and being on an historical Americas Cup sailboat was a treat. Captain and crew were great

Racing in Newport

We had a great time. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants more than just a basic harbor cruise. Let and team were great and you can get as involved with the sail if you choose to. The weather was a little overcast the day we went, but I wouldn't let that discourage you. It was still a lot of fun.

If you love boats and want a relaxing, friendly sail around Newport harbor, this is for you. The crew is able, the boat is seriously sweet, and the entire trip was memorable. I would give another star if that were possible.

We sailed with 12 Meter Charters while on vacation to the Newport/Jamestown area. Sailing is such a huge part of the local culture that we felt we needed to get a taste of it. An employee of another local business recommmended 12 Meter Charters, and I'm so thrilled she did! The captain and crew were warm and friendly on board the Columbia, and I loved hearing their stories of racing and sailing. My husband even got to help hoist the sail! We had a wonderful vacation overall, but this was definitely my favorite part of the whole week! (They also offer multiple packages that include a sail and another local activity, like a visit to Newport Vineyards or a restaurant dinner.)

Newport, RI is all about sailing so when in Rome.... We booked a 2 hour afternoon cruise with 12 Meters charter and what a wonderful afternoon it was. We set sail aboard The Heritage, the last wooden boat to sail in America's Cup. The crew was wonderfully engaging and had a vast knowledge of the boat, America's Cup race and Newport. You can be as involved as you want. The Captain will let you take the helm, the crew lets you help raise the sails or you can just sit back and take it all in. We had a perfect day for sailing, lots of wind which also means some people got a little wet. The boat hold 15 people so you may have to sit on the deck but it's safe, comfortable and a much more fun ride! You can bring your own beverages; one couple brought champagne and celebrated. We sailed all over the harbor and under the Newport Bridge so don't forget your camera. I would recommend this cruise to anyone to wants to truly experience Newport.

British tech magnate Mike Lynch, 2 US citizens among missing after luxury yacht sinks off Sicily

15 people were rescued and one body believed to be the cook was found near the wreck, but six others were unaccounted for and believed inside the hull, by andrea rosa and nicole winfield | the associated press • published august 19, 2024 • updated on august 19, 2024 at 6:21 pm.

British tech magnate Mike Lynch and five other people were missing after their luxury sailing yacht sank during a freak storm off Sicily early Monday, Italy’s civil protection and authorities said. Lynch’s wife and 14 other people survived.

Lynch, who was  acquitted in June  in a big U.S. fraud trial, was among six people who remain unaccounted for after their chartered sailboat sank off Porticello, when a tornado over the water known as a waterspout struck the area overnight, said Salvo Cocina of Sicily’s civil protection agency.

One body was recovered, and police divers spent the day trying to reach the hull of the ship, which was resting at a depth of 50 meters (163 feet) off Porticello where it had been anchored, rescue authorities said. They returned to the site after 10 p.m. to see if it would be possible to search through the night, when weather conditions were expected to worsen, said Luca Cari, spokesman of the fire rescue service.

It had a crew of 10 people and 12 passengers, the Italian coast guard said. A sudden fierce storm had battered the area overnight, and struck the place precisely where the 56-meter (184-foot) British-flagged Bayesian had been moored.

“They were in the wrong place at the wrong time,” said Cocina, noting that another superyacht nearby wasn't as badly damaged and helped rescue some of the 15 survivors, who included Lynch's wife Angela Bacares.

The Bayesian was notable for its single 75-meter (246-feet) mast — one of the world’s tallest made of aluminum and which was lit up at night, just hours before it sank. Online charter sites listed it for rent for up to 195,000 euros (about $215,000) a week.

One of the survivors, identified as Charlotte Golunski, said she momentarily lost hold of her 1-year-old daughter Sofia in the water, but then managed to hold her up over the waves until a lifeboat inflated and they were both pulled to safety, Italian news agency ANSA reported, quoting the mother. The father, James Emsley, also survived, said Cocina.

Karsten Borner, the captain of the Sir Robert Baden Powell, said he had noticed the Bayesian nearby during the storm but after it calmed he saw a red flare and realized the ship had simply disappeared, ANSA and the Giornale di Sicilia newspaper reported. Borner said he and a crew member boarded their tender and found a lifeboat with 15 people, some of them injured, who they then took aboard and alerted the coast guard.

Eight of those rescued were hospitalized while the others were taken to a hotel. One body believed to be the cook was found near the wreck, but six others were unaccounted for and believed inside the hull, said Cari, the fire rescue spokesperson. The rescue operations, which were visible from shore, involved helicopters and rescue boats from the coast guard, fire rescue and civil protection service.

Fisherman Francesco Cefalu’ said he had seen a flare from shore at around 4:30 a.m. and immediately set out to the site but by the time he got there, the Bayesian had already sunk, with only cushions, wood and other items from the superyacht floating in the water.

“But for the rest, we didn’t find anyone,” he said from the port hours later. He said that he immediately alerted the coast guard and stayed on site for three hours, but didn't find any survivors. “I think they are inside, all the missing people.”

He said he had been up early to check the weather to see if he could go fishing, and surmised that a sudden waterspout had struck the yacht.

“It could be that the mast broke, or the anchor at the prow pulled it, I don’t know,” he said.

Cocina said the crew and passengers hailed from a variety of countries: In addition to Britain and the United States, passengers and crew were from Antigua, France, Germany, Ireland, Myanmar, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Spain, he said.

Among the dead and missing, four were British, two were American, and one was a man with dual citizenship from Canada and Antigua, according to Luciano Pischedda, the Italian Coast Guard official overseeing the rescue operations.

The UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch is deploying a team of four inspectors to Italy to conduct a preliminary assessment. The Foreign Commonwealth and Development office said it was “providing consular support to a number of British nationals and their families.”

Dutch foreign ministry spokesperson Casper Soetekouw said the lone Dutch citizen on board, a man, had been rescued and was not in life-threatening condition.

Lynch, once hailed as Britain’s king of technology, was cleared in June of fraud and conspiracy charges related to Hewlett Packard’s $11 billion takeover of his company, Autonomy Corp.

The not-guilty verdicts followed an 11-week criminal trial in San Francisco that delved into the history of HP’s  2011 acquisition  of Autonomy, a business software firm founded by Lynch.

The  fraud accusations  represented a dramatic turn in the fortunes of an entrepreneur once described as the Bill Gates of Britain — a title he seemed to live up to when he netted an $800 million from the Autonomy sale.

The acquittal vindicated Lynch, who had vehemently denied wrong doing and portrayed HP as a technological train wreck.

“I’m looking forward to returning the UK and getting back to what I love most: my family and innovating in my field,” Lynch said in a statement released after the verdict.

The yacht, built in 2008 by the Italian firm Perini Navi, can accommodate 12 passengers in four double cabins, a triple and the master suite, plus crew accommodations, according to Charter World and Yacht Charters.

The vessel, which previously was named Salute when it flew under a Dutch flag, featured a sleek, minimalist interior of light wood with Japanese accents designed by the French designer Remi Tessier, according to descriptions and photos on the charter sites.
