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.

5.00We really liked this tour. The guide was very interactive, the waitress was fast and efficient, and the captain was great. The coast line of Newport is beautiful. I did think we would see the back of the Breakers but I was fine with all the other sites.
Great Experience around Newport

5.00Arrives at least 30 minutes early and check in at the kiosk to collect your boarding pass.. I took the sunset Cruise at 5:30 which was magnificent. The captain purposely steered the boat to a number of positions where we could get great views of a lighthouse and the Newport Bridge. The crew was great.
