This cruise is must if you are visiting Newport and looking for a narrative tour. My wife and I took the 12:30 PM cruise on Thursday, August 2nd, a sunny and windy day. We felt very secure on The M/V Gansett, a Restored motorized Lobster Boat. We sat comfortably in the stern section on a cushioned wrap-around bench. Christopher, our guide, was great! One and one half hours of facts, history and insights about the Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay landscape; very informative with a nice touch of humor. Captain Jeff and Crew Hand Trish were both very professional. We have taken many tour boat cruises in many different waterfront cities. This ranks as one of the best.
