Gansett Cruises

Patrick is great! Awesome tour to kick off our weekend! Thank you so much.

Informative and fun. One of the go to Newport cruises when guests are in town. Yesterday they even spotted a cruise ship.

We did the afternoon sighseeing tour while we were in Newport. Our trip coincided with the International Boat Show so it was an added treat to see some of these mega-yachts and insane boats from the water. Our tour guide, Beau, quite literally had us laughing out loud at points. He was so informative and super entertaining. He also gave some recommendations for local things to do that we wouldn't have known about otherwise.

We got lunch at the Lobster shack afterwards thanks to Beau, and my life is forever changed now that I have had lobster that fresh. Overall it was a perfect afternoon and a really affordable way to see Newport from the water. The service was fast and friendly for drinks. We even made friends with the group sitting next to us, who ended up being the nicest people we have ever met - an added treat for an already spectacular day. I would recommend this to anyone going to Newport and am excited to try one of their other charters when we make it back.

Patrick, our tour guide, was superb, knowledgeable, personable, and humorous. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously and recommend this tour 100%.

Afternoon cruise was great. They keep it casual & relaxed with the jokes and storytelling. Highly recommend, and you'll definitely see a few yachts along the way.

The boat ride was very fun. Christian (the guide) was hilarious and slightly edgy. I recommend sitting on the top for a better experience overall. If you go to the bathroom it is a little shaky. It is a phenomenal experience.

Great summer place, makes you feel like you're on vacation in your own back yard. Food is not the highlight but atmosphere is fantastic.

Our first trip to Newport. We booked an afternoon jaunt. Beautiful weather accompanied our fabulous cruise. Patrick was highly entertaining and informative. The crew attentive. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the 90mins. Highly recommend.

So much fun! My girlfriends and I did a mimosa cruise this week. We had such a great time! The tour guide was funny, well educated and great to listen to. It was such a fun time. We really would do it again. The ONLY down fall is that there is no bathroom on the boat!

This cruise was great! It's more of an educational/informational boat ride around the bay but not complaining one bit. The guide made it enjoyable and entertaining and the views were great. It gets a bit cold, even in June, so bring a thick jacket/blanket. They sell small blankets for $5 also. A nice cherry on top were the free beverages they offered (frozen lemonade, coffee milkshake). Great activity with friends or family.

A great 90-minute tour through the harbor and bay, with an excellent tour guide pointing out specific boats and mansions along the water. Very informative, very pleasant, and we did the sunset cruise so even had a champagne toast. Cash bar is available for soft drinks, cocktails, and local beers.

Wonderful cruise! Patrick was great and I learned so much (and I am a native Rhode Islander). Highly highly recommend!

We had an excellent trip. Our captain Jeff and guide Patrick did a great job taking us around the Bay and telling us about many of the boats and houses in the area. Patrick was super knowledgeable and witty. We would certainly take the tour again to see what boats are at port next time. Very well done!

Our tour guide, Patrick, was top notch. He knew SO much about the area and added such good humor. Excellent afternoon cruise!

Amazing amazing and amazing! Close your eyes and book it if you want to explore Newport on a sunset cruise. Patrick the host, has a great sense of humor, and goes above & beyond to make your cruise fun filled facts. If you are in Newport, I recommend Gansett Cruise for an evening with your loved ones

Deserving of 6 stars. Exceptional narrative of Newport harbor, Narragansett Bay and all the extra views along the tour. The driver/owner knows his wheel house and makes sure the passengers are comfortable and safe. The seating area is very spacious. Call ahead for bookings with their friendly, professional staff. Super fun!

Went on a sunset cruise and loved it. Drinks were good and the stuffed quahog that was included was yummy! We were lucky enough to have great weather. The narrated tour was very informative as well. Was able to see beautiful mansions, yachts, and the Newport Bridge. Would definitely recommend!

We did the 4:30 cruise with these guys on 7/23! This cruise was awesome, complimentary del's lemonade was served and you could purchase alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages on board. We had such a good time, Patrick was our tour guide and he was very funny, knowledgeable, and just the type of person you would want to hangout with. Had us laughing the whole time while learning some really cool things about the houses in Newport and all about yachts! Would highly suggest this cruise.

This was a lot of fun! We did this after an early dinner and had a nice view of the sun setting. Patrick (with the crazy sneakers!) was awesome. He was very knowledgeable, funny and energetic with his guided narration. Not only did he know about the houses and landmarks; he knew a lot about some of the yachts that were docked in in the area. Everyone received a "stuffie", a champagne toast and they had a cash bar for beer and wine. Prices were very reasonable for being on a boat! I think a beer and a wine was $11. I highly recommend giving this a go! It's a fun way to see Newport and learn a few things along the way.

We (four adults and two children) went on a morning narrated mimosa cruise a couple of weeks ago. The boat was spotless, the staff was attentive, and the narrator was knowledgeable and easy to listen to. I would definitely recommend this company for a sightseeing tour in the future.

My husband and I took the lighthouse and mimosa cruise during our trip to Newport last week and it did not disappoint. Our tour guide was Patrick and he was nothing short of spectacular. He was knowledgeable, professional, and so funny! We loved all of the history he gave us about Newport, as well as funny tidbits and anecdotes along the way. The rest of the crew was also fantastic. We were lucky enough to catch the beginning of the regatta and it was so much fun. An absolute MUST in Newport!

The gentleman that narrates this cruise, needs his own television show or at best a salary increase. He was knowledgeable, informative, charismatic, hilarious, witty, sarcastic when applicable and interactive.this job was made for him, he made the sail around the harbor such a wonderful and light experience. Shout out to the Captain and Trish, for tying this up. Highly recommended

This cruise was so much fun! It had many great sights, lots a history told, a champagne toast and the most beautiful sunset view. The crew were extremely friendly and professional. Can't wait until my next one.

The lighthouse and mimosa tour was great! Really enjoyed the cruise! Great crew! Would definitely recommend this for anyone that's in town for the day!

My boyfriend and I decided to go on the Gansett cruise on our last day in Rhode Island. What a perfect way to end the trip! If you're in the area, I'd highly recommend checking this out! I can't remember our tour guides name but he kept us interested the entire time. Perfect length of time for a cruise. Pet friendly too!
