#BBE (Best boat ever)!!!!!! The Rum Runner is my favorite boat in Newport, RI. I also love the light houses! Keep up the good work!
We did the sunset cruise this past Friday at 5:30pm and had the best time. It is a perfect little pre dinner ride around the water looking at all of the houses and architecture Newport has to offer. It isn't so much a guided tour, but just a nice boat ride. To make things even better, they serve rum punch and beer on the boat which are constantly flowing and delicious. Highly recommend adding this to your list of things to do in Newport!
Took a sunset champagne cruise on the Madeline yesterday and it was a beautiful sunset. They also had beers and cider. Staff was knowledgeable about the area and history.
We boarded the Madeline on Monday, May 24th. The crew were fun, friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. It was a beautiful day to be on the boat and kudos to the crew for a great time.
My husband and I took a tour of Newport, we've done so many of those so we didn't think much of it... to our right is this and to our left is that etc.... not the case on the Rum Runner II.... Jay was steering us and Nora was keeping us entertained. She checked with us frequently, having conversation, giving water, taking pictures, asking if we had any questions...all in all keeping us entertained. She has the right personality for this job.
On our last day in Newport we decided to do a cruise and boy were we blown away. They were so welcoming, friendly and best of all had great COVID protocols on board. It was an hour and a half of heaven, with drinks and history of the various landmarks. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get out on the water while in town.
First of all Nora & Captain Jay went above and beyond with this tour! It was super fun & informative. The fact that you can byob just put a cherry on top of it all! The price, service and experience was definitely 5 star!
Best boat tour ever!! The captain and first mate were so kind and the tour was very informative! We did the 11:30 tour with mimosas. She kept my cup full the whole time and those mimosas were GOOD. They were very good about spacing people out even though some of the people were rude to them about not getting to sit where they wanted.
Super fun mimosa sail! During COVID , not a full boat, everyone has plenty of space to distance and they have a decent drink/ seltzers/ beer selection
