    This 90 minute cruise is more than worth it. It is an amazing trip through the bay almost to the Atlantic Ocean. The Tour Guide gives an incredible performance while you boat past historic places, historic boats, and some of the most amazing yachts you've ever seen. The education that you get, the service that you receive are second to none. I have taken my children on this cruise, I have taken my love on the cruise. It is definitely worth every penny and a showstopper if it's date night. This place is on top-5 day cruise in the United States status.

    I took the 4:30 PM Harbour Cruise/Tour on a slightly overcast summer day. Despite the weather, I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. The tour offered a fascinating mix of history and trivia, catering to both local and international tourists. As someone who appreciates supporting tourism businesses, I highly recommend this service, especially for those visiting between late spring and early fall. It serves as an excellent complement to a Newport Mansion tour, providing unique views only visible from the water. The hour and a half journey around Narragansett Bay was quite enjoyable. For those interested, wine is available for purchase, and our tour guide added a delightful touch with humorous and entertaining commentaries. It's evident that the staff works hard to ensure riders have a memorable experience.

    Everything went great from start to finish. We normally do one of the sailing excursions when in town but so happy we tried Gansett Cruises motorized boat this year. The great advantage of this boat was that it got us up close to the grand mansions and super yachts. Great staff on board! I highly recommend this excursion.

    We had such a great time! The information provided was really interesting and the narrator was really funny but not in an annoying or cheesy way. The drink service was spot on. The blended coffee drink (milkshake) was delicious, highly recommend. If I were doing it again, I might add some rum. I highly suggest this trip. I would absolutely do it again.

    We have visited Newport many times but this was our first cruise. Really enjoyed it! Bo was a great tour guide. Well worth it for an 1 1/2 hour tour of the harbor and part of Narragansett Bay up to the Jamestown Bridge. Sat up top with unobstructed views, saw many lighthouses, beautiful mansions, yachts and learned quite a bit of local history. Don’t miss it!

    Superb tour guide and smooth ride. I will return with my son. Free Mimosas is a plus. The whole staff (including ticketing) was very professional and funny.

    Outstanding cruise. The crew was friendly and accommodating, the mansions and yachts were jaw-droppingly gorgeous, but the standout was Patrick. His commentary was not only extremely informative but absolutely hilarious! My wife, son, and I thought he elevated the cruise to a whole other level. The fact that it's a smaller vessel gave a more intimate feel than one would experience crammed onto a large fishing boat. The rum and hot cider was a delicious addition. Overall, it was a very fairly priced and thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Highly recommended!
