    The Baywatch boat crew in Newport has clearly mastered the art of creating unforgettable experiences on the water. Cat stands out in nearly every review as an exceptional host who brings incredible energy, takes amazing photos and videos for groups, and makes everyone feel like she's just another friend along for the ride. The team is consistently praised for being accommodating with weather changes and flexible scheduling, showing genuine care about delivering the best possible experience. The boat itself comes equipped with everything you need: floats and noodles for swimming, bluetooth speakers, coolers with ice, and even a clean bathroom with shaded areas. This is clearly the go-to choice for bachelorette parties in Newport, though families celebrating milestone birthdays have had equally wonderful times. Groups appreciate the BYOB setup that keeps costs reasonable, the spacious and clean vessel, and crew members like Dan, Chelsea, Liam, and Greg who all contribute to the fun, safe atmosphere. The tours cruise past stunning mansions only visible from the water and include swimming stops where you can float and relax. Catherine handles booking communications with impressive responsiveness and helpfulness throughout the entire process.

    Had the best time! I booked the sunset sail for my friend's bachelorette party and everyone had an absolute blast. Dan and Chelsea were our crew and they were amazing. Catherine was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, from before booking all the way to the day of. This is a must if you're visiting Newport
