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.

Tour guide (Peter) needs to spend less time talking. He became more of a nuisance and no one was paying attention to him. He still continued talking even after noticing on one was paying any attention to him. 🙄 cruise was great otherwise!

Thank you for taking a moment to tell us about your experience. We're certainly glad you enjoyed the cruise, but we're sorry the narration wasn't quite what you were looking for. Newport offers many different options for exploring our beautiful bay, including narrated motor-yachts and non-narrated sailboat excursions to suit every taste. Gansett Cruises offers a fully narrated tour, and while some guests come out with us to simply enjoy the coastal scenery, many others come to hear about the grand houses, historic sites, and majestic boats that make our seaside city so special. Stop by on your next visit and we can suggest some options for scenic-only harbor cruises you may enjoy!

It was a foggy night but Patrick did his best to make it such a great time. He was very funny as well as informative. Next time I am in Newport I will definitely revisit and hope for clearer weather.

Thank you! I'll be sure to share your kind words with Patrick! And yes, the fog sometimes does roll in but a harbor cruise is still a great way to spend your evening in Newport! Hope to see you again!
