Outstanding service and cruise! Easy ticket purchase online, day-before cruise confirmation online, day-of registration seamless and organized, excellent harbor cruise and commentary. Highly recommend Rum Runner II Newport Harbor cruise
Very positive boat trip with exceptional crew (Patrick and captain J), breathtaking scenery, smooth sailing, and memorable views.
we had such a good time! great tour guides, super sweet and kind! beautiful experience, highly reccomend
Beautiful day to be out on the water. Learned a little history ~ of the boat we were on and some of the houses, lighthouses we passed by.
Fun experience with a great captain and crew. Can not remember their names but two women who knew what they were doing and made the whole ride a blast!
Easy App to manage! You can reload the meter from wherever you are as long as you have the zone code with you. Also it was only $6 for 3 hours.
75-minute narrated tour that goes slowly thru the Newport harbor then crosses around to Ft. Adams. Goes briefly up to Castle Hill then circles thru the harbor past Rose Island, Goat Island, the shipyard and back. Covers all the highlights, great narration, very friendly crew and easy on/off. We had someone with crutches and she had no problem navigating the boat ramp or the step stool and steps down in the boat. Highly recommend for families, friends or anyone visiting that wants a quick harbor tour.
Thank you for booking a tour with us and taking some time to provide your valuable feedback and recommendation. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the narrated harbor experience aboard Rum Runner II, and that our friendly crew made the journey enjoyable. It's wonderful to know the boat was easy to navigate for all guests. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again soon! - Newport Classic Cruises
The boat only goes fast for a few minutes so you’re only cold then. We loved the stories about who owns the fancy boats and how much they’re worth! And the educational info about the hurricane. It was the perfect amount of time too, not too long but didn’t feel short either. I think my favorite part was learning about Ida!! Such a heroine!
I highly recommend taking this tour! Beautiful boat ride around Newport, learn a lot of fun facts and the boat is chartered by a great captain and tour guide!
Perfect way to experience the Newport harbor Kenny the tour guide made it a great trip and Jack the captain added information about the rum runner boat’s history
