I live outside of Boston and try to get to Newport every time I can. I absolutely love it there. Due to a very, very busy summer, I was in desperate need of some quiet alone time....with my canine buddy, Charlie. :-) We took a few days in Newport, which is quite a dog-friendly town. I never expected that I would be able to take Charlie on a harbor cruise. To my delight Gansett cruises are dog friendly! We had a wonderful time. The staff was very nice and incredibly knowledgeable. I highly recommend this!!
