Maritime memories!! - This was such a fun experience out on the water!! Every member of the crew was fabulous and friendly. Great narration along the way. Grab a drink from the bar and settle in for the great views. We planted ourselves right by the Captain and he was a hoot!! Set sail on this voyage. You will not be disappointed!!!

Beautiful Boat ride. - The cruise was very beautiful calm and relaxing. The views of Newport historic homes, businesses and Mansions from the ocean were breathtaking. My only complaint was at times it was difficult to hear our guide speaking and giving the history and background of what we were seeing. But overall it was a great experience.
