Hammetts Offer $50K Newport Race Package

May 23, 2022

Hammetts Hotel in Newport, Rhode Island is offering a $50,000 package for the upcoming Newport Bermuda Yacht race which “will put onlookers in direct access of both ends of the action for the first time.”

This is according to a report by Forbes, which said, “The biennial yacht race spanning the 635 nautical miles between sailing capitals Newport and Bermuda is the oldest scheduled ocean race and one of the most thrilling for both participants and observers. This year’s race begins in the Rhode Island seaport on June 17th and a $50,000 package assembled by Newport’s Hammetts Hotel, one of the race’s sponsors, will put onlookers in direct access of both ends of the action for the first time.”

“On race day, two seats are reserved on board a captained 36 foot Hinckley yacht for direct viewing of the two hour send off from Newport as over 100 boats sail off. Also that day: a champagne lunch for five guests at Giusto, the Italian restaurant on Hammetts Wharf overlooking the water where that send off takes place. And on race weekend, also included is a two night stay at the hotel in a Marina King room, designed to resemble luxury quarters on board a ship with views overlooking Newport Harbor.

“After the flight down, arranged by the booking team, guests stay for a week nearby at the private Leamington Estate, an eight bedroom, 12,000 square foot manor house originally developed by the commodore of the Harrington Sound Sailing Club with a ridged whitewashed roof distinctive to island architecture and an infinity pool overlooking the Sound. The staff of the house can arrange a champagne picnic aboard a private yacht to watch the boats come in and a visit aboard the tall ship Spirit of Bermuda, built to resemble a 19th century Bermuda schooner.
