Good boat ride - Good time! Very informative about the area! The water was a little rocky, had a hard time walking on the boat, but other than that, it was a great time.

Fun. Informative. Highly recommend. - Enjoyed the tour. It was enjoyable & informational. It was just the right amount of time. My only suggestion is the narrator needs to speak louder - I couldn’t always understand what he was saying. Highly recommend.

Mimosa Cruise - Would definitely recommend this cruise. Very informative. I accidentally booked the wrong day and noticed I missed the cruise. They were extremely helpful and allowed me to use my tickets on Father’s Day that I thought I had originally booked. I give these guys 10 stars!!! A+++

Fun way to see the Newport shore - This is a great way to see the harbor and houses around Newport. We were worried about it being too cool this time of year, but there are enclosed areas and it wasn't an issue at all. You get a Mimosa in hand when you walk on board - great way to start! Narration was entertaining and informative. Recommend if you only have a short time in Newport to see the boats and lighthouses.

Beautiful day - Very nice trip. The tour guide talked just enough and also allowed some quiet time to just enjoy the water. Only criticism was the beverage. We had both mimosas and a plain oh and in both cases the ok was sour like it was old or had not been stored properly.
