It's a nice way to see things around Newport. My gripe is they over booked the cruise and I happened to be on a cruise where some people took up two seats (purely because of size). I get it but don't book so many people then. I ended up having to sit with one butt check off the end...it was uncomfortable. Otherwise, if they figure that out, I would do it again because you see a lot.
First trip to Newport and my husband and I thought a sailboat tour would be a nice way to see Newport from the sea. The captain and crew of the Madeline were friendly, very knowledgeable, and made our first sailing experience one we will remember for a lifetime. I HIGHLY recommend!!
great tour company . crew was informative and drinks served were awesome! will be back next time
Boarded the Rumrunner II at 7 PM for our sunset cruise. A huge cloud rolled over and it started to storm and hail. However, Nora provided the boat with rum drinks while we waited. They thought they were going to have to cancel our cruise however, Nora and Mark waited out the storm and decided to set sail once it passed. We left about half an hour later than planned but the sunset turned out to be gorgeous and worth the wait. Our stewardess and Captain were excellent and we are grateful that they waited for the storm to pass ... read more
Went with my extended family on the Rum Runner Mimosa and Lighthouse tour at 11:30 am and despite the foggy conditions we truly enjoyed the tour. Captain Jay was the best and navigated the rough waters expertly. Both he and his first mate provided us with an informative tour of beautiful Newport/ Jamestown lighthouses and other historic sights along the way. Totally worth the money. Will definitely be returning for the sail next time.
Absolutely phenomenal boat tour. First experience was chartering for a wedding party, and it was a huge hit with everyone, from kids to grandparents. Have been back for several more rides and always enjoy it. The Newport harbor, boats and homes are beautiful regardless of how they are viewed. This boat in particular is our favorite way to see the water side, as it alternates slow and exhilarating fast (getting misted by ocean spray) cruising. Highly recommend, especially on a hot, low wind day where the sailboats are too ... read more
Great music during the boat ride. Our bartender Aria was very attentive. There were periods of slow sailing then fast sailing. Overall great experience with amazing sunset views!!! Update: I left my Michael Kors sunglasses on the boat and the next morning the crew had them for me at the sales desk. SO THANKFUL FOR GREAT PEOPLE!!
Took the harbor cruise with our group today; outstanding! Captain Mark was great and Tour Guide Nora was awesome. Hard to believe someone can have *that* much energy at the end of the day!
The staff at Rum Runner is amazing! They were all friendly and fun, making sure to accommodate our needs (one person was allergic to orange juice in the punch) and refill our "Rum punch" constantly. I couldn't believe how attentive they were. The actual cruise resulted in a beautiful sunset and unforgettable views of Newport Beach. Great staff, delicious punch, and an amazing cruise. Thanks for a great experience for my Bachelorette weekend (and for waiting for my two sisters to arrive). You made our weekend! Sending hugs to... read more
