We did the morning cruise last weekend and had a great time! We brought our little Boston Terrier and the crew could not have been nicer to him - they gave him a blanket to snuggle up with, took pictures for their scrapbook, and were even cuddling him and letting him sit on their lap. The main reason we took... more

On Tuesday, August 4th 2009, my wife and I and our two yorkies had the pleasure of taking a mid-afternoon cruise of Narragansett harbor on Gansett Cruises. The trip was wonderful. Our narrator was excellent, knowledgeable and really made the cruise interesting.

For only $25/per person... more

A little spicy, but tasty. They also offered a cash bar and free sodas... more

Try the Gansett - best Newport harbor tour by far. Food, soft drinks all included - plus you get to ride round in style on a great wooden vessel, all newly restored. You should see the loo! -- all varnished mahogany, and real towels!! Great crew. This boat just started up this season - something different for a change, and... more
