Frequently asked questions

We suggest sunscreen, hats, sunglasses and a cold beverage for daytime tours, and a light windbreaker/sweater in the evening. We also suggest flat bottom, comfortable shoes. Most importantly, dress appropriately for the weather.
There are no restrooms on the boats, so please plan ahead and use the bathroom inside The Landing prior to boarding. You will need to allow yourself extra time to check-in, use the bathroom and walk to the docks in time for boarding, so please arrive a few minutes earlier than normal.
Absolutely! Even though we are serving complimentary wine and prosecco, our Wine & Brine Cruises are BYOB-friendly, so feel free to bring your favorite drinks! Relax, unwind, and enjoy the views!
We love dogs, but....only service animals specifically trained to aid a person with a disability are allowed aboard. Comfort animals, emotional support animals, and therapy animals are not service animals and are therefore not recognized by the ADA or the State of Rhode Island.
For the safety of our guests, we do not allow passengers to stand up and walk around. However, you are certainly welcome to stand briefly to change seats, get refreshments, or take pictures.
Yes! Private Charters are generally offered 7 days/week, subject to our availability, as well as Graham's. Please call our office for information and pricing.
