The 1 hour tour was nice, but it said we would see mansions, but it did not go near the Newport Mansions owned by the Preservation Society. Seats and seatbacks were metal, so not very comfortable. Seats cushions would be nice. Harbor is pretty and Mike was very informative.

Absolutely breathtaking and beautiful sunset cruise. Absolutely exceeded my expectations. Everyone made us feel comfortable and welcome starting with Katherine who assisted us with purchasing the cruise tickets. Captain Mike did a great job navigating, Steve was the best bartender, and George was an amazing narrator and shared so many interesting and fun facts! Will need to come back again with friends!

My family went on the boat trip around Newport harbor. I had my 2 month old baby with us, and he did wonderful. The boat was accommodating, all the staff was friendly, the tour guide was kind and answered everyones questions. We also enjoyed the bar, the drinks were good! Would definitely go again.

The tour was very nice. You definitely want to sit upstairs if possible. My whole family went on an afternoon tour.

Terrific experience. The narrator, Steve, a local science teacher, kept the entire group enthralled for the 1 hour duration of the ride. Bar on boat and kid friendly too. Recommend being on the upper deck for the view / ability to hear the tour guide.

We did the afternoon boat tour and it was excellent! Definitely worth the price, and included a narrated tour of the Narragansett Bay, and back around Newport. Highly recommended.

Fun, affordable sunset ride. It was nice to have someone who lived in Newport their whole life giving the tour, because we learned a ton about the area. Great if youre first visiting and want a more low-key experience!

We rented the Amazing Grace for a company outing, the vessel was okay but the historical/comical narration was fantastic! I've lived on the Island my entire life, 54 years, and realized I knew nothing about Newport's waterfront history. Brian was awesome..

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.
