We went on this 90 minute tour around the harbor with Patrick as our tour guide and Jeff as captain. We had the BEST time. The crew could not have been nicer and Patrick was both hilarious and informative. It was a gorgeous day and we had the best experience! Highly recommend Gansett Cruises.

Had a beautiful day last Monday for our 10:30 mimosa cruise. Captain and First Mate were courteous and professional. Our tour guide John was very personable and knowledgeable of the areas rich and long history. Cruise boat is just the right size , superbly maintained and felt very safe. Enjoyable trip, highly recommend this nice cruise around the harbor and Narragansett Bay.
“Great way to see Newport”
★★★★★ – Reviewed October 1, 2017
The Gansett Cruise was fantastic. Our guide Johnny was entertaining and knowledgable and Kristen provided great service. Seeing the yachts up close and the mansions and lighthouses from the water is a memorable experience. And the complimentary local favorite beverages are a nice touch. very reasonable price, totally recommended this.
“Fantastic and Fun”
★★★★★ – Reviewed June 2, 2017
Patrick was a great tour guide. I highly recommend it. I’ve been on another boat tour of Newport about 2 years ago with a different company and this one (figuratively) blew it out of the water!

Such a great crew! We were laughing the whole time. Our cruise was 90 minutes on the harbor to experience the sunset with a few glasses of champagne or cans of beer.

This was the highlight of a cloudy day in Newport. Patrick was informative and entertaining. It was fun to see the lighthouses, some mansions and lots of boats. We learned some interesting tidbits of Newport history.
“Hit the spot”
★★★★★ – Reviewed June 2, 2017
We’ve done several different cruises in Newport over the years and this sunset ride was as good as any of them. A small outfit and they are really putting in a ton of effort to make for a great outing… free champagne toast and stuffies; cash bar with some local craft beer included; fun and relaxed narration with info about Newport I’d never heard. Not to mention the VERY low price. Loved it. Highly recommended.
“Beautiful.. must do”
★★★★★ – Reviewed May 26, 2017
We joined Gansett cruises for their first trip of the 2017 season. It was absolutely beautiful and the staff was so nice. The trip is narrated as the boat travels by the different scenic/historic locations. Loved that it was 90 minutes long; it felt long enough to really relax and enjoy the sites. We would absolutely do this again. Our 12 yr. Old enjoyed it too. You won’t be disappointed!
“Do it. You won’t regret it.”
★★★★★ – Reviewed June 2, 2017
Even though it was a brisk evening (we brought a blanket) this was such a good activity. Beverages in board. Complimentary champagne toast and quahog. Staff was excellent and Patrick, the guide, funny and informative. A must do. Pics are mostly of the wharf and boat we rode in.
“Great tour of Newport Harbor”
★★★★★ – Reviewed October 1, 2017
The Gansett cruise was one of our favorite parts of our trip. 90 minutes on a nice stable boat with an amusing and informative guide. Fun free refreshments along with a cash bar if you prefer something else. A really great experience. Bring extra layers if it’s chilly as there isn’t much protection from the wind. Easy to book online or by phone. This is not a sailing adventure, it’s a power boat so keep that in mind.
