Best day of the year to be on the water, and Newport Classic Cruises' "Rum Runner II" made it unforgettable! Sailing the day after Labor Day meant a light load, making it feel like our own private yacht. The calm waters and smooth sailing were perfect, and the crew did a fantastic job keeping us entertained. We enjoyed a mix of history, lighthouse views, the thrill of speed, and a little sea spray to keep things fun. Laughter filled the air--what more could you ask for? If you're looking for a great time in Newport, hop on t... read more

It's great to know you enjoyed the balance of history, stunning lighthouse views, and that touch of sea spray! Our crew always strives to make each trip as fun and engaging as possible, so it’s fantastic to hear we hit the mark for you. We hope to welcome you back aboard soon!

You get great views of Newport while out on the water on this boat. The crew is very attentive and checks in on each guest at the start and midway through the tour. Overall, however, this tour was underwhelming. I expected to learn more about Newport and boating while onboard. It was peaceful but not as exciting as I had hoped. 

Business response:

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the kind words about our crew and the beautiful Newport views! We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear the tour didn't fully meet your expectations. Our goal is to create a relaxing and enjoyable experience, but we understand that some guests might be looking for more detailed narration or excitement. We recommend the Rum Runner II for full narration on day trips. We hope you’ll give us another chance in the future for a different type of adventure! Warmly, Newport Cl... read more

The boat ride itself was enjoyable - but the scheduling services went by the wayside. We booked a sunset cruise for the bride and we were put on a cruise for 7:30pm, having booked this months and months in advance for a large group. However, when we got to the stand at 7pm, we were told the cruise had already left. It was a shock to us all as there was someone local in our group that had gotten there at 6:30pm and said the group was on their way. With some turmoil in the group (we were only there for one more night) and sadn... read more

Wonderful time the Captain and Mate were very helpful! We talked mostly to Cam and she was excellent! Kept our beverages full and was very attentive during the whole excursion! I would strongly recommend anyone, tourist and local alike, to spend an afternoon on this charming wooden yacht!
