Our group of 11 had an amazing experience with Captain Jack and the crew! Not only was the mid-October weather absolutely perfect for our sunset cruise, but the crew kept us laughing with history lessons and great beverage options. Highly Recommend!

Do it! Absolutely a highlight of our trip. The crew was amazing, knowledgeable, friendly and funny. They made the entire trip worth every penny. You’ll see beauties of Newport.
