They called me an hour before the ride to make sure I knew the boat was leaving at 4:30pm and give me exact directions to the check-in counter. It is right next to The Landing restaurant and the nearest parking lot is at the Newport Marina Hotel, it cost $20 until 2 am. My family and I was running late but they didn't mind waiting for another 5-10 minutes until they leave the docks. The host of the boat was super funny and told us lots of information about Newport (houses, boats, lifehouse, owners, etc.). At the 4:30pm ride, they give you free coffee milkshake and frozen lemonade, I highly suggest the coffee milkshake because it was absolutely delicious! Next time Im back in Newport with friends im suggesting them to go on Gansett Cruises .
