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. Complimentary quahoag was served (excellent) and choices of beverages were offered at a very nominal price ( from... more

We took a sunset cruise with Gansett Cruises over Labor Day weekend. We picked this tour for one reason - they allow dogs. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect - they boat is not as large or nice as some of the sailboats or other boats that offer cruises. However, I was very pleasantly surprised. For only $25/per person... more

The highlight of our trip was the tour we took on Gansett Cruises (with our german shepherd and lab!!!) They were so friendly and hospitable. They couldn't do enough for us to make us feel... more

A friend and I made a last minute decision to take a Sunset Cruise on Gansett. The 7pm cruise included a champage toast at sunset and a "stuffie" (local quahoag (clam) piled with a bread-based stuffing including chopped quahoag and snaugie (a local sausage/hot dog) pieces. 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
