Absolutely outstanding service and experience. The Newport harbor is like none other and it was amazing to see so many incredible yachts, homes, and history. The boat is simple and prices very reasonable. Nice to have drink options as well. Leave yourself time to find the correct wharf if youre not familiar with the area. Its not overly complex, and theyll answer the phone to help if needed, but your experience will be more relaxing if youre not rushed :)

Overall a great experience. The guide was knowledgeable and very informative about what you were seeing. We had great weather and a smooth ride - I give only 4 stars because in the confirmation email you get after booking online tickets it gives you a suggested parking lot stating that the lot switches to a flat rate after 3pm so we parked there. However the lot does not change to a flat rate. We could have found less expensive parking elsewhere. Also, the website states that they show you the Newport Mansions on this tour. They do not. You can certainly see large houses on the western side of the island, but they do not go around to the eastern shore where the breakers, rosecliff and marble house are all located. Other than those two misleading bits, we had a great experience.

Captain Brian was certainly one of the many highlights of this boating trip. His immense knowledge of the bay and its surroundings captivated us for the duration of the excursion and he even let some of the passengers navigate the boat for a bit. Did you know Goat Island used to house exiled goats? Well, you'll learn that and much more during your time on the waters with Captain B.
I highly recommend booking this if you happen to be in Newport--5 stars! :-)

My family went on the sunset cruise. It was really perfect. We had perfect weather and a perfect sunset. For those of you traveling with wheelchairs, you can get on, but it's using ramps on a floating pier. Works fine, but was scary for my son. Nevertheless, great experience. I'd definitely recommend it.
