Itinerary

Admission included60 min

Break away from the typical harbor boat tour and take a quiet, relaxing, and delightful cruise of Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay's East Passage aboard a traditionally restored 50-foot lobster boat. Watch the sun set in a comfortably cushioned and shaded deck, or from the top 'sunny side' deck. The guides, many of whom grew up on these waters, are enthused to share the legends and rich history of their home port. On every cruise, there's something special and complimentary from the galley that is representative of Rhode Island cuisine and culture. Guests on board discover the true flavor of The Ocean State, all compliments of the Captain. Sunset cruisers will enjoy a quahog "stuffie" and champagne to toast their relaxing evening on the water. The cash bar on board serves a selection of Narragansett Beer, Newport Vineyard white wines, and other Rhode Island signature drinks.

Highlight of our trip!

We had the best time on this cruise. Scott, our guide was funny, personable, and managed to take a photo of each group while talking without skipping a beat. There was a champagne toast included which was a nice surprise. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone that is visiting Newport for the first time or a repeat visit. You will love it!

GREAT trip!!

The guide, Patrick, was GREAT! He was incredibly knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. He made the trip very enjoyable. The other workers on the boat (two girls but I can't remember their names) were also very nice! The whole trip was a great experience and I would highly recommend it!

A perfect sis set cruise weather notwithstanding

What promised to be a dreary evening due to the inclement weather, turned out to be a perfect sunset cruise. Highlight was the cruise guide ( whose name somehow eludes me) who was hilarious, knowledgeable and made the evening well worth it. A beautiful sunset and rainbow at the end was the icing on the cake
