Traveler reviews
Don't pass up this trip.
Wonderful day out . Boarded and seated. Crew were extremely helpful. got to see sights and got insights on them that you would not otherwise know without the tour. beautiful weather with a brisk breeze also helped. The tour guide Vince? Kept the trip lively and amusing. his self deprecating spiel was good for everyone on board. If you are going to Newport and want a nice day out with some info about the area and a nice time , this is one you should not pass up.
Great tour for a good value
Patrick our tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. Overall, a pleasant trip for a good value
Great value, great narrator! Would do again 👍
Well done, relaxing. Great for pictures . Bring a jacket! Always very breezy out on the water. The prices for drinks are cheaper on the boat than in town🍻
Great way to spend part of an afternoon in Newport!
Great day at sea! It was a little chilly...but they have blankets! The guides were SO funny and informative.
Repeatable experience
Newport has quite a lot to offer and sailing the coast with Gansett Cruises is one of the experiences that made our family trip memorable. Great atmosphere, excellent staff and beautiful views, plus a neatly kept boat. It was a great way to end our visit, it leave us with the feeling of coming back.
