    FAQs

    Bring your own drinks. If you plan to drink alcohol, you must be 21+ and bring a photo ID. The crew can cut off overly intoxicated guests, and may end the charter early without a refund for safety.

    Swim only at the captain’s discretion and after you sign the swim waiver. You can’t swim after drinking alcohol, and the captain may choose not to stop for a swim if it feels unsafe.

    Bring your own drinks, snacks/food, cups, and towels/swimwear if you plan to swim. You may also want sunscreen and a warm layer, especially on cooler days. The boat provides water, seltzer, a cooler with ice, Bluetooth speakers, and floats.

    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.

    Kelly & Matt were so good to our group of 8 this weekend! They were a great team ensuring we had a blast & were safe the whole trip. The Ladybird was perfect for our bachelorette group and Kelly really stepped up and made sure we got ALL the angles! We picked the best boat in Newport + got lucky with the best crew to match! Thank you!
