Our guide was fantastic. Give him a raise. Boat was perfect size. Only thing would be great if it left a little later to truly capture the full sunset. But I would highly recommend

Enjoyable experience
Linda_C, Oct 2021
This was a really nice tour!! Patrick the narrator was excellent and we had nice drink service at our seats with a free glass of champagne and a yummy stuffed clam! I highly recommend this tour!
Great!

Beautiful sunset cruise
arimark, Oct 2019
Relaxing, Informative and just great to see the sunset from within the harbor. Loved the Colorado guide-quirky & laid-back!
lovely evening sightseeing cruise
Tim_P, Sept 2019
WE went on the 5.15pm evening cruise and although it was getting windy and cooler, the lovely setting sun as we neared the end of the cruise was spectacular. This is well worth the investment to take this tour, the Stuffies and Champagne are free and drinks to purchase are served throughout the trip by Mo. The guide was very good, lots of boat and local scenery knowledge and jovial with the audience. Views back inland from the sea give a wonderful different perspective of some of the great houses and gardens around the bay.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Crystal_A, Sept 2019
Love. Love. Love. Fantastic cruise! What a great way to see the sunset. From start to finish, was one of the highlights of our trip to Newport. Tour guide was knowledgeable (and had a great sense of humor), the hostess was so warm and friendly, and the captain gave us a smooth ride. Highly recommend!
Very enjoyable!
Kathleen_K, Aug 2019
I took the sunset cruise with husband and adult daughter. We enjoyed ourselves very much. The narrator was very good and we learned a few things that we didn't know before. The complimentary stuffie and champagne was a nice touch. We didn't expect much of a sunset as very cloudy. But it turned out to be a spectacular sunset! We will definitely go again.
Glorious Sunset!
Marianne_E, Aug 2019
Our sunset cruise with Patrick as our guide was fantastic. Weather, food and drinks were super. Patrick was extremely entertaining. I would highly recommend this to our friends and would take it again.
Fabulous Sunset Cruise

Sunset cruise was very enjoyable! Tour guide/ narrator was very knowledgeable on several key landmarks and yachts. The stuffies and champagne was also a great addition. Highly recommend This Newport Harbor Cruise.
