My friends and I had an...

My friends and I had an amazing time on the cruise! Although the weather was not ideal and there was a rowdy group aboard with us, the crew was awesome. Kevin gave us a little tip to sit up front, and the others were very friendly and knowledgeable in the history and what boats were in the harbor! Highly recommend!!

Perfect sunset harbor tour

It was a lovely sunset trip around the harbor, with a entertaining host pointing out historic buildings, houses & ships. The Captain and crew were friendly and answered questions about the boat and harbor. The cruise was long enough to see a lot without being too long. The boat was comfortable and not over crowded.

Great Start to an Evening in Newport!

Fun guide and hostesses. Informative, yet not intrusive of a good time! To view Naragansett and Newport from the water- a must!

Great Time

Dave was a great host and the whole family had a great time. It's only an hour with a complementary champagne toast, beverage service, bathroom, and sightseeing.
