Great way to see Newport - The trip was great. Nice easy way to see Newport harbor from the water. Very entertaining guide gave great history and stories about the city/houses/lighthouses. (Also didn’t need to talk the whole time so we were able to just enjoy the views and ride. Would recommend this trip for everyone of any age.

Lighthouse tour - It was a pleasant excursion, although there were not a lot of lighthouses, and once you got the first mimosa, you had to buy the rest. But I would recommend it. It was enjoyable and relaxing.

October 2024 - Really nice cruise. Good views of harbor and tour narrator was great!!! Perfect boat when booking and weather may not cooperate. Nice inside deck area with seating and if weather is perfect plenty of outdoor area.

Very informative and enjoyable trip! - Getting a much better understanding of the importance of the bay in relation to the historic events that took place in the area. We had a beautiful day in the water. The tour guide could have been more succinct with the information provide and with the stories he told. However, the stories provided more useful background. All in all a very good trip and one I would recommend
