Our tour guide and bartender was fantastic explaining all about Bermuda rums and the differences between varieties. It rained a little bit, but not for very long. This was our second cruise today and definitely the best of the two.

Very nice excursion! The scenery and sunset were gorgeous. The Gosling's representative was friendly and so funny! And he kept the RUM flowing!
Bethany_B, Aug 2025
This was SO MUCH FUN! We learned all about the history of Gosling rum, learned a little about the island and saw a stunning sunset. Mr. Ed was so knowledgeable and funny. The crew made sure we had a good time, were safe, and kept our glasses full. 100% recommend!

The weather wasn’t great and we were not expecting great things as a result. However the staff raised the bar and ensured we all had a fun time. Laughs and banter from all.

Thoroughly enjoyable cruise around the Dockyards enjoying rum cocktails created by Bartender Beloved who also gave us a glimpse into the history and evolution of Gosling's rum. Highly recommend this experience!

My husband and I had an amazing time. Beloved and the rest of the team were so attentive, friendly and professional. Goslings Bermuda Gold, the best!

Outstanding tour the host was hilarious and informative. My friend and I had a great time drinking the rum and enjoying the view
Suzanne_B, Aug 2024
Entertaining as well as informative. Great crew and smooth sailing. We would do it again. Need to note that stairs are steep to the top level, but there are chairs available on the main level. Good times!
Laura_K, Jul 2024
We had a wonderful evening on the rum cruise. The sunset was perfect. Our hosts were very energetic and welcoming. Discussed history of rum and local traditions. This was a memorable part of our trip

Insane, candy-colored sunset during our trip. The guide was very knowledgeable and you get to try a lot of the different rum offerings. You begin and end with rum swizzles. Make sure you get there early to snag a spot up top on the open air level.

It was a beautiful evening the guide was very informative and entertaining. The sunset was beautiful and it was very nice being with family
matthew_k, Jul 2023
Tasted some great rums and rum drinks. The excursion was great. Sunset that night was beautiful! Fun to hear the history of the Gossling distillery and some island history also. I would highly recommend this excursion!
Amelia_K, Jun 2023
This was so so fun. I was worried because about 100 people got on the boat so I thought it was going to be awful and super crowded. We sat on top of the boat (must do) and the guide was hilarious, he was so knowledgeable and fun. The staff were incredibly, they brought around many different drinks, talked about each one as well as Bermuda history. The drinks were amazing and all we had to do was sit, enjoy the views the guide and the drinks. This was the first time all trip, I felt warm and fuzzy, those drinks had some alcohol in them! I definitely recommend this trip!!
Barry_H, Aug 2018
Sunset cruise around Bermuda with rum drinks, doesn't get much better than that. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The Goslings Rum rep was entertaining and did a great job.

I actually recommend this cruise- the director was hilarious- it would have been fun even if we weren't cruising through blue Bermuda waters. They will give you enough alcohol to get a good buzz going if you like. They take your around and show you a few sights but mostly this cruise is about Rum. At the end, they are selling bottles of Gosling Rum- we ordered a couple of bottles but they were never delivered to our cruise ship! Fortunately, after calling Gosling, they sent us a check later to refund our money. But we afterward discovered that it was the same price or less expensive simply to buy the bottles on our cruise ship instead of directly from Gosling.

Excellent cruise! Goslings representative was very knowledgeable and interesting. Rum tastings were plentiful and tasty! Captain Lawson was very welcoming!!!
eileen h, Jul 2017
Lots of fun! Gosslings did a terrific job of introducing most of their fine products with a history of the company. Loved it. Gorgeous sunset for our tour.
Rita K, Nov 2016
We had a perfect evening for this cruise - including a beautiful sunset! Everything was excellent - the captain and crew was very welcoming - the swizzle drink was oh-soooooo-good, and the discussion on Goslings Rum was both informational and entertaining plus the rum tasting is not to be missed. So glad we did this. Thanks again very much to the captain and crew - you are the best!
ufwebb, Sep 2016
My husband and I went with two other couples and we had an absolute blast!!! We learned a lot, we drank a lot, we laughed a lot!! The crew was very nice and courteous. Highly recommend the cruise and be sure and buy a bottle or two or three of Goslings to take home with you
Burton H, Aug 2016
We had a wonderful evening with the beautiful setting sun highlighted by a very entertaining tasting party of Gosling Rums. A bit of island history was added to the generous tastings.
Maureen D, Jun 2016
Fun cruise with lots of local history about Bermuda and about the production of rum and the Gosling family.
Enjoyable, if a bit rainy, first evening in Bermuda.
Staff was helpful and informative. Rum still not my favorite.
Nancy S, Jun 2016
Very, very nice trip. Staff was very friendly, and very knowledgeable of the area. Great time.
Sharon H, Jan 2016
The only negative was that the excellent rum tasted was not available on the island for sale
ibriody, Nov 2015
The Bermuda Distillery show offer this as a free tasting rum cruise, not have you pay to take the cruise.
Dragozzino, Jul 2015
This is a great rum cruise. I was looking for something different to do in Bermuda since this was our 3rd trip and my youngest son was now 18. We met at the assigned time and promptly boarded the boat. The guides were friendly and helpful. We cruised around the island while sampling the Gosling's rum and the local drinks - the Dark and Stormy/Dark and Skinny and the Rum Swizzle. The Gosling's rep gave us a history of the rum and explained how the drinks came about. The sun was setting about halfway through the cruise and they stopped the boat so everyone could take pictures. Everyone in my party enjoyed the trip and I would highly recommend it. You even have a chance to but the rum prior to departing the boat. Great trip.
clziegler, Sep 2014
This cruise was fabulous, and I highly recommend it. This was my fifth trip to Bermuda, and I thought I had done and seen everything . . . but this was the icing on the cake. This sunset cruise was fun and made for amazing sunset pictures. The crew was funny and attentive. I am glad that I took this cruise and was able to sample various drinks before I went to the store to purchase. But for this cruise, I would not have known about the wonderful golden liquer or had a chance to taste a dark and stormy. This cruise was the highlight of our trip.
Deborah T, Aug 2014
It was lots of fun - plenty of rum - just the right amount of time.
Barry Y, Jul 2014
5-stars!!!! It was informative and entertaining all while cruising. The rum and the history of the family and the making of their rum for 8 generations was interesting. They shared how to make the dark and stormy and we ended up buying a couple of bottles to bring back home. I would recommend this tour to anyone going to Bermuda!
l4mbda, Jul 2014
This was one of my favorite tours on the island. You hop aboard the boat, sit down, and the tour guide gives you a very interesting history about rum on Bermuda. You get to sample different types of rums and mixes (Dark and Stormy included). Even if you're not into rum, the guide was hilarious, and knew a lot about the island. The crowd loved him.
Finally, because the cruise is an evening one, you get to see a GORGEOUS sunset. Would strongly recommend this tour.
MaryAnn B, Aug 2013
Very nice boat ride and nice samples of rum drinks. The crew was friendly and funny and made for a very nice evening.
