There is so much to do and see in Newport Harbor and Narraganset Bay. We can cruise past the inner harbor mansions, Fort Adams, Hammersmith Farm, Castle Hill, Clingstone, you can see four lighthouses and so much more. If you would like we are happy to tell you all about the sights you see. Because this is a private cruise we do not have to stick to a schedule or specific route, weather and condition permitting we are happy to cruise wherever you want.

Absolutely! as long as everyone in the group is reasonably sober we love swimming, we have floaties and a splash pad to hang out on. The captain can end swimming if someone in the group becomes unsafe.

No Big deal! As long as your group does not exceed 22 we can adjust the payment when you arrive.

we want you to relax and have a good time, but our crew retains the right to cut off overly intoxicated guests. If guests are behaving inappropriately or are overly intoxicated we will return to the dock early and your payment will not be returned. We do not allow overly intoxicated guests to go swimming. The captain retains the right to not stop for a swim if he or she feels it will be unsafe.

During your private boat ride we cannot take the boat out of the Newport Harbor so we will not be able to show you the Newport preservation society mansions like Breakers and Marble House, BUT! We can get up close and personal with the lesser seen private Newport Mansions, you can see Hammersmith, Harbor Court, Bonniecrest and hear the awesome stories about these still occupied homes.
