What To Expect

Gansett Cruises

Break away from the typical harbor boat tour and take a quiet, relaxing, and delightful cruise of Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay's East Passage aboard a traditionally restored 50-foot lobster boat. Watch the sun set in a comfortably cushioned and shaded deck, or from the top 'sunny side' deck. The guides, many of whom grew up on these waters, are enthused to share the legends and rich history of their home port. On every cruise, there's something special and complimentary from the galley that is representative of Rhode Island cuisine and culture. Guests on board discover the true flavor of The Ocean State, all compliments of the Captain. Sunset cruisers will enjoy a quahog "stuffie" and champagne to toast their relaxing evening on the water. The cash bar on board serves a selection of Narragansett Beer, Newport Vineyard white wines, and other Rhode Island signature drinks.

At a pretty time of day, what better way to spend the late afternoon than aboard a boat cruising the harbor and hearing about the history and houses in the area. Lots of unique things in the harbor, beautiful sites on the water and on land. Patrick was exceptionally talented as the guide. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The views of Newport from the water are just lovely with the bobbing boats and multimillion-dollar yachts all around. We had a sunset, a moonrise, and a refreshing breeze, and a good time was had by all.

Thank you for the great review! We agree, there's no better place to be on a gorgeous Newport afternoon than out on the water - We're proud of our gorgeous bay, rich heritage, and often impressive array of vessels in the harbor! Please join us again on your next visit to Newport!

I'm a local and every single visitor (five in the summer of 2021 alone) I have in town, I take on this cruise! Patrick is hands-down the best guide in the harbor. Don't skip out on this one!

We had a delightful cruise on a beautiful fall night. Our narrator was fantastic with wonderful stories, interesting facts and delightful humor. The ride was smooth and safe.
