Patrick made the trip! He filled the passengers with tidbits of history and the rich an famous! I would highly recommend the trip even if you are a local Rhode Islander, you will learn something!

Thank you for your wonderful review. I also learn something from Patrick every time I go out with him -- a real fountain of knowledge, not only about Newport and its fascinating history, but the many yachts that come in and out of the harbor. So glad you enjoyed your trip. John

Have been to Newport a bunch and always wanted to do a boat trip. My wife surprised me for Father's day. We were not disappointed - The trip was fun, informative and a nice relaxing few hours seeing Newport from a different side. Patrick was a wicked good guide and kept us informed and laughing at the same time! A must do in Newport!

Belated Happy Father's Day -- and thank you for your review. Our guides try to strike a balance between casual jokes and fun and informative insights into Newport's history and the many mega yachts dotting the harbor. Patrick always succeeds!

Most of the photo opportunities are on left hand side as you cruise along the coastline with Captain Jeff. Narrative is provided by a Colorado transplant & actor who provides additional entertainment. Cruise takes about 90 minutes on the 50 ft. lobster boat which seats up to 49 passengers. Reasonable cost of $30 to $32.

Thanks for your kind review. Regardless of what side you sit on, passengers are free to move around and head to the top deck for the ideal "happy snap" once the cruise is underway. Come back to join us aboard the Gansett!
