Overview

This one-hour narrated sunset harbor cruise departs from Newport, Rhode Island, aboard a traditionally restored 50-foot lobster boat operated by Gansett Cruises. Passengers may sit on the shaded lower deck or the open sun deck while the boat travels through Newport Harbor and the East Passage of Narragansett Bay, including views of Newport and Jamestown. The guide, often a local with personal knowledge of the area, provides live commentary about the history and legends of the port throughout the cruise. During the trip, guests receive a complimentary champagne toast and a Rhode Island - style quahog "stuffie" representing local cuisine. Additional alcoholic beverages such as Narragansett Beer, Newport Vineyard white wines, and other signature Rhode Island drinks are available for purchase at the cash bar. Onboard restrooms are available for passenger convenience. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and wheelchairs cannot be brought aboard but can be stored at the ticket booth.
