Perfect day to be on the water. Dave, the guide was awesome. Had a great personality and made it fun. The lemonade was delicious.
This was a fantastic trip with spectacular views and a guide with a lot of personality. It was fun, safe, and clean. The boat had cushions in the seats, and it had an upper deck. What really blew me away, I received a call from one of the representatives to remind me to get there early and find parking. This is a uncommon in our society. When we come back to Freeport, we will take this cruise again.
A very fun experience. Our guide, Brian, was very entertaining and his enthusiasm and knowledge really enhanced our experience. Lemonade was complementary and adult options were available. Very well run and excellent hospitality.
Great cruise. The crew were fantastic as well! This was a highlight of our time spent in Newport. We even saw a Cosst Guard ship which was very cool!
Hello!! Thank you for coming out on Gansett and for your kind words regarding the cruise, and crew. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your time out on the water with us!
Don’t sit in rear of boat if gas fumes are an issue. We loved the tour but had a headache from fumes after. My daughter—in-law is pregnant so she had to move forward and stand
Hi Debora! Thank you for coming out on Gansett and for your kind words regarding the tour. We are so sorry to hear that you were feeling uncomfortable in the rear of the boat; but are very glad that your daughter in law was able to move around to feel more comfortable. Sometimes when the wind blows in a certain direction the exhaust may be blown back towards the boat, but that is not typical. With that being said, if you would like to talk more about this please email us at info@gansettcruises.com, or call us at (401)-619-1300.
The boat is lovely. Small, but not too small, and quaint, which makes it feel like a nice day out on a boat and not so much like a tour. Staff is friendly and informative. Don’t forget to tip!!
