5.00Great tour! We live nearby and did this as a fun 'experience the area like a tourist' kind of thing. I would do this again - it was a great way to spend the money and a little bit of time, and the tour guide was super engaging and funny. I could see that there would be differences in the tours - depending on what vessels are out and about, and whatnot - which could add some variety. Very fun, I loved it!
Must Try Newport Experience!

5.00The tour was great, Patrick was our guide he was very funny and knew so much about the various landmarks and yachts. Miles our captain kept her smooth and steady which was good because I sometimes get sea sick. Jade came around and took our drink orders and checked in frequently to see if we needed anything. Overall very funny experience definitely worth doing.

5.00We got to experience Newport as a sailing capital. It was exciting to see little kids riding their mini sail boats. Gin Gin Kashti, Lang Diya Dariyaan > There is a famous hindi/punjabi song "gin gin taaren, lang diya raaten" > I cut the long night by counting the stars. Here, Newport allowed us to cut across the ocean by counting the number of boats.
perfect sea day
