Wonderful, sunset cruise

My daughter and I went on the 7:30 PM sunset cruise on July 3 and had a wonderful experience. We got beautiful shots of sunset and sailboats while enjoying a seven dollar cocktail Way cheaper than New York and New Jersey prices! The crew members were very friendly and overall a great experience.

Super low key and fun. Very nice captain and co-captain. Friendly. Just a nice 1 hour ride out on the water. Comfortable places to sit. Captain gave some info on places we were passing.

Great cruise with friends from NH!

Great cruise to take with friends! We really enjoyed seeing Newport from the water as the sun was setting. The history of the Rum Runner II was interesting as well.
