FANTASTIC TIME!! Our MC - Dave - was incredibly informative AND entertaining!! The wait staff and Captain (sorry - don’t remember their names) were wonderful, the ride enjoyable, and the mimosas made us feel like we fit in with the billionaires 🤣

    Well worth the time and...

    Well worth the time and money. Our guide and the crew were great and informative/entertaining. Loved going in the morning so it didn’t tie up the whole day. I highly recommend!

    Lacking communication

    Christina_C, Oct 2025
    While we had a great experience with Gansett cruises, Viator did not provide correct information about the activity. We ordered our tickets back in April with the time slot of 11:15am. When we arrived (thankfully early) Gansett didn’t have our reservation listed and the time was actually 11am departure. I had my tickets and multiple emails from Viator with my reservation number and the time. Thankfully Gansett cruises had space and so we were able to attend, but Viator needs to ensure they have proper and correct info, and is providing that to the event conductors correctly. Not sure I would book through Viator again, we just happened to be lucky.

    Good value.

    It was an amazing way to see Newport and the Mansions from the water!! Patrick was our guide and he was fabulous. Everyone of age gets a mimosa to enjoy during the trip and other outstanding options are available for a reasonable cost! Everyone on the ship had such a great time!’

    One of the best cruises around Nargansett Bay. Patrick was an excellent host and pointed out very interesting sights with some amazing history added.

    Great experience

    Sundy_F, Oct 2024
    This was a great experience- we had a beautiful October Saturday morning for this Mimosa Cruise. Dave was a great host and Trish was very friendly and brought us drinks so we didn’t even have to get up from our seats on the bough! I’d definitely recommend Gansett Cruises- very professional.

    Great Time

    Kim_V, Oct 2024
    We had 10 of us in our group. Everyone had a great time! Patrick and Dan did an excellent job on the history and background of the Newport harbor. They were very entertaining. We highly recommend taking the tour!

    This was an amazing 75-min cruise! The tour guide was whimsical and knowledgeable, and the mimosas were a delightful treat.

    A perfect summer treat.

    Suzanne_M, Sep 2024
    The cruise guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable. The free mimosas were a nice addition. The Weather was perfect and the rest of the staff were very pleasant.

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    Glad to hear the weather cooperated (summer isn't over yet!), and that you enjoyed the tour and mimosas. Hope to see you back out on a Gansett tour in the future.

    The boat ride

    Cory_L, Sep 2024
    Over the weekend, I took my two kids on a boat tour, and they absolutely loved it! They had a blast sitting at the front of the boat, watching the waves and getting splashed. Ordering their own Dell’s Lemonade and sharing a root beer together was a highlight for them. The only downside was that the instructor could have used more kid-friendly language. Other than that, it was a fantastic hour out on the water, learning about the history of the marina and Rhode Island.

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    Hi Cory, Thank you for your feedback! We will definitely take this into consideration going forward. Glad you enjoyed the cruise!
