Nothing better than being on the water in Newport on a hot/humid day. This cruise is worth it in every way. The crew was awesome and had great stories to share about Newport. They also did a great job during these Covid times. I would do it again.

Very enjoyable sail with a fun and knowledgeable crew! Only one suggestion, ditch the pitcher of water, tastes off after sitting around. Offer bottled water instead.

Had a great time on the beautiful "Madeline" schooner for the Champagne Sunset Cruise! With Captain Dave steering us, we had a smooth, peaceful beautiful cruise all along and around the Eastern Passage!! We had heard this was a historic ride with views of Jackie O's former compound and other memorable sites, but the friendliness of the staff, the plentiful champagne, and the gorgeousness of the sky set the tone for a truly blissful experience!! Would highly recommend for people of ages, singles, couples and just anyone w... read more

Can't say enough about the Wonderful time we had aboard the Rum Runner ll today. The Captain Jay and his crew Sara were very Pleasant & Informative. Sara made sure that our Free flowing Mimosa glasses were never empty. A special treat were the Croissants. But the Highlight of the trip was when I stood up to take a photo and my favorite water bottle plunged into the ocean. The next thing i knew Captain Jay was circling my bottle and Sara was trying to lure it back near the boat where she could retrieve it for me. Of course my... read more

We took an evening cruise on the Rum Runner II on Saturday 5/18. It was great! The staff was so friendly and really caterer to everyone's needs. Offered up endless rum runners and beers! And even took the time to ask individual groups if they wanted pictures! Such a great time with a great crew!

My husband and I went on an afternoon sail on the Madeline with Captain Wes and crew Trudy and Meg. They were fantastic! They were very knowledgeable and helpful answering all our questions. They even let the kids steer the boat! This was so far the best harbor ride we've had in Newport and can't wait to do it again!

Could not have had a better experience on the Rum Runner Sunset Cruise. The staff were so pleasant and did not leave our glasses or beer cans empty on the 1-hour cruise. The views were incredible and took us around Newport seeing all the mansions and sites. Pictured is the boat and a few from it on the water.

We had an awesome time on then mimosas and lighthouses tour! The captain was friendly and the two girls helping were awesome! We loved hearing about the history of the area. The bait went slowly for most of the tour, but showed off its speed towards the end. Plus, the minosas were practically unlimited, with more refills offered than we were able to take advantage of! There was also water, tea, plain orange juice, and croissants available. We would definitely try one of this company's other cruises if we had more time!
