Friendly crew, pleasant ride - The crew really went out of its way to make every member of our party feel at home, including one who needed some extra assistance. The 75 minute ride itself slows you a number of smaller islands but in effect becomes a narration of Newport's several incarnations, and very useful for that reason alone. I'd recommend it

Great value, great trip to either end the day or start the night ! - If you are looking for a great way to end the day or begin the night, this is the trip you want to do. The crew and boat ride was great. The tour guide had some fun with the passengers and made us all enjoy the ride a little more.

Beautiful evening ride around Newport Harbor - Was a beautiful evening, very relaxing boat ride through Newport Harbor. Weather was perfect. We enjoyed the complimentary drink. We sat outside at the front of the boat, and couldn’t make out what the tour guide was saying about the different sites. The sound wasn’t clear. Also, I advised we were celebrating a birthday, but don’t think it was acknowledged. But can’t be sure, because none of the 7 of us at the front of the boat could understand what the tour guide was saying. Other than that, it was lovely.

Nice cruise but no sunset and rude bartenders - There was no sunset on this “sunset cruise” it leaves too early in the day to get a sunset. Also, bartender was VERY rude when I ordered a rum and coke upon boarding the ship. She was telling people only cans and wine because she had “90 people to get drinks for”. Then she apologized to everyone else as if I was slowing her down.

Message popped up in... - Message popped up in iPhone calendar with incorrect address for boat cruise differing information from original email booking. No way to contact cruise line cannot leave voicemail only reply through email. By the time we got the correct address we were late. There was nowhere to park. Only bonus was They offered a refund. Would recommend if people book this cruise to know in advance exact address I’ve never made a mistake like this in all my travels so we were incredibly disappointed.
