Step by Step
Discover the coastal beauty of Rhode Island with this 1-hour tour that combines history, scenery and authentic local cuisine. You'll set sail aboard a restored lobster boat, where every detail evokes Newport's fishing tradition. Whether you opt for the sun deck or the shaded area, you'll find the best spot to view the sails, lighthouses and colonial mansions that dot the shore.
As the sun sets, your guide - many of them locals - will regale you with seafaring legends, anecdotes of local pirates and Newport's role during the American Revolution and the era of the great yachts. These exciting tales will transport you back in time and bring you closer to the lives of the fishermen and captains who made these waters their home.
A special moment comes with a quahog stuffie, a spicy, breadcrumb-stuffed mollusc, a Rhode Island culinary tradition. Pair this bite with the included drink - be it a regional beer, a Newport Vineyard white wine or a cocktail - and toast to the magic of the sunset.
After your drink, the onboard bar remains open for those wishing to sample more Narragansett beers, local wines or signature cocktails (additional charge). Enjoy the soft music and the murmur of the water as you make your way back to the pier, taking with you the memory of a unique sunset.
You'll return to Bowen's Wharf with a mind full of stories and a light heart, ready to continue your evening in the restaurants and tavernas surrounding the harbour. This cruise is ideal for couples, families and groups of friends looking for an intimate and authentic experience.
