    Nice open air boat with...

    Nice open air boat with friendly captain and first mate. Lovely tour of the harbor with some light info on the sights. Complimentary ginger ale or water if you do not purchase alcoholic drinks.

    Highly recommend

    Great way to see a Newport sunset. The crew were friendly and engaging, would highly recommend the Rum Rumner II.

    Quick nice inexpensive boat ride.

    We were running a little late trying to find parking. I recommend leaving very early as parking is an issue. They called a couple times looking for us which was nice. Drinks you purchase tickets on land and exchange on the boat for a very limited selection. This is definitely not a booze cruise but more of a little site seeing but there is no narration which I would have liked. Very pleasant staff. For what I paid worth the money.

    Magical time

    Fun Sunset Cruise

    Fun trip- provided scenic views of the lighthouse, a few larger houses, the harbor, fort, as well as the newport bridge. Very smooth relaxed ride. My only complaint is that the beverage selections are somewhat limited. I personally can't deal with carbonation, or overly sweet options, but that's all their was. Overall, I would definitely do business with this company again. We used them in both newport and boston this trip and both experiences were great!

    Highly recommend!

    This boat ride was so fun! Highly recommend. My husband and I loved that we could see the lights of the bridge at night. The weather didn’t really allow for a beautiful sunset, but it was still was a very enjoyable experience!

    Fantastic! Would definitely do again.

    Great trip! The crew was friendly and fun and the boat was beautiful and comfortable. The drinks also made it fun!

    Opening season of the sunset cruise

    Margaux_R, May 2024
    The sunset was an amazing experience. The team was very welcoming and friendly. They gave us some blanket as the weather was a bit chilly.. We saw an overview of Newport and the house of the rocks. Very nice and beautiful first sunset cruise of the season. Thanks a lot to the team
