This cruise was excellent! Location of the boat was right near everything. The boat itself was comfortable and spacious. The crew were friendly and accommodating. The trip around Narragansett Bay was so beautiful. I highly recommend this cruise if you’re looking for things to do in Newport!

Great experience! Lots of seats. Easy to find. Parking was hard. Bathrooms nearby before you go (gross but get the job done). Views were spectacular.

We really liked this tour. The guide was very interactive, the waitress was fast and efficient, and the captain was great. The coast line of Newport is beautiful. I did think we would see the back of the Breakers but I was fine with all the other sites.

Craig_R, Sep 2025
Arrives at least 30 minutes early and check in at the kiosk to collect your boarding pass.. I took the sunset Cruise at 5:30 which was magnificent. The captain purposely steered the boat to a number of positions where we could get great views of a lighthouse and the Newport Bridge. The crew was great.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
