We did the afternoon sighseeing tour while we were in Newport. Our trip coincided with the International Boat Show so it was an added treat to see some of these mega-yachts and insane boats from the water. Our tour guide, Beau, quite literally had us laughing out loud at points. He was so informative and super entertaining. He also gave some recommendations for local things to do that we wouldn't have known about otherwise. We got lunch at the Lobster shack afterwards thanks to Beau, and my life is forever changed now that I have had lobster that fresh. Overall it was a perfect afternoon and a really affordable way to see Newport from the water. The service was fast and friendly for drinks. We even made friends with the group sitting next to us, who ended up being the nicest people we have ever met - an added treat for an already spectacular day. I would recommend this to anyone going to Newport and am excited to try one of their other charters when we make it back.

Our guide, Patrick, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. There weren’t many people on the boat, but it took an hour for me to get my glass of wine… which was 30 minutes longer than the passengers who opted for the free drink.
