Bachelorette fun! - We chose the cruise during our trip to Newport for a bachelorette party! The tour guide was very friendly and included the bride and party to our accommodations. He was also very informative on the history along the harbor. We enjoyed the experience during a friendly and welcoming environment. I would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone traveling to the area!

Lovely day on Newport Harbor - We have been coming to Newport for many years but we have never gone on a boat cruise. This year, I booked a mimosa light house trip. It was wonderful. We couldn’t ask for better weather. Weather here in New England can change fast. So we were lucky. My husband and I brought jackets but we didn’t need them. This boat has plenty of sheltered areas. It was large enough to be comfortable and small enough to get around. We were served mimosas as we entered the boat. Not the best I have ever had but still a nice treat while cruising. We had a group of people on board from a bus trip that had many elder passengers with walkers. They were boarded first and carefully helped on by the crew mates. The tour guild, Paula, was very interesting and taught us a lot that we never knew before. The captain and crew were great. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

October 2024 - Really nice cruise. Good views of harbor and tour narrator was great!!! Perfect boat when booking and weather may not cooperate. Nice inside deck area with seating and if weather is perfect plenty of outdoor area.

Very informative and enjoyable trip! - Getting a much better understanding of the importance of the bay in relation to the historic events that took place in the area. We had a beautiful day in the water. The tour guide could have been more succinct with the information provide and with the stories he told. However, the stories provided more useful background. All in all a very good trip and one I would recommend
