Fun trip around Narragansett Bay! - Fun boat ride around Narragansett Bay. Several reviewers commented that they couldn’t hear the speaker. But we had no problems with that and learned some interesting history about the various homes and lighthouses around the bay. It was a great way to get out on the water for a relaxing boat ride.

A Perfect Way to see the Bay - A beautiful cruise of the bay and closer views of the lighthouses. The Captain could have talked more about the sights, but it was his first sail as captain!

Good boat ride - Good time! Very informative about the area! The water was a little rocky, had a hard time walking on the boat, but other than that, it was a great time.

Just ok - We enjoyed being on the water. However the guide was very difficult to hear and understand. Several people did not listen and were talking amongst themselves. Our guide was not interested and seemed like he was just going through the process,
