Nice to get the view of... - Nice to get the view of Newport from the water and learn some history of the area. Boat amenities were grea. Bar staff were friendly and you could even sit at the bar for the cruise bar. The covered 2nd floor was a good option for sitting too

Very enjoyable - Much warmer than expected. We were prepared for a chilly December Bay Cruise, but the vessel is fully enclosed in vinyl and heated.
