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.

A beautiful evening with beautiful weather out on the sea. I did this cruise with my wife two weeks ago and my memories (fuzzy, but not yet faded) recall the open sea, beautiful old mansions perched on hills overlooking the harbor, the Pell Bridge with the blazing orange sunset behind it, and a cup of champagne (provided by the hospitable staff). Do NOT miss this. Well worth the $30/pp (honestly, they could charge more and I would pay it). The tour guide (whose name I cannot recall at the moment) was funny, but more importantly, was knowledgeable about the history of the port, the mansions, the wealthy families that owned (or still own) the mansions, and just the history of Newport, RI in general. The tour guide's knowledge provided great context on what we were looking at so if he wasn't there, I don't think I would've gotten as much as I did out of this cruise. Lastly, you will see some beautiful yachts and ships docked at the harbor (at least we did while we were there). The guide knew about some of the more prominent vessels in the harbor. A small snack and champagne is provided. BE SURE TO GET THERE AT LEAST 20-30 MINS. EARLY AND LINE UP. That way, you'll get on the boat first and get a seat at the top (where we were). Definitely, sit AT THE TOP or you'll regret it.

Beautiful Sunset Cruise on Gansett in Newport Harbor. Great for couples. Very Romantic!!! Loved seeing other boats and yachts in the harbor as well as viewing numerous estates from water view. They offered free Champagne and Lobster cake. Boat had a cash bar with two extremely friendly servers, drink prices were reasonable. Sit back, relax, have a cocktail and enjoy the beautiful sunset with someone special or family.

Clingstone mooners, Kennedy stories and more made this an enjoyable, fun evening. If only they could have supplied the gorgeous sunsets of the previous night, it would have been perfect! The captain told jokes and continually made sure that everyone could hear him.
