Private cruise, ice, water
Set out aboard Baywatch with only your group, leaving room to relax, dance, sing, or take photos. Bring your own beverages and playlist to shape the cruise around your plans.
After departing the dock, we begin with a slow cruise through Newport’s inner harbor, gliding past the city’s charming wharfs and the storied Ida Lewis and New York Yacht Clubs. From there, we make our way along Newport’s famous waterfront mansions and historic Fort Adams before opening up into the bay. In the bay, we’ll pass Jackie Kennedy’s childhood home, the iconic Castle Hill Lighthouse, Jamestown’s scenic coastline, and the remarkable Clingstone “house on the rock.” Along the way, expect views of classic lighthouses, striking coves, and often a few impressive superyachts.

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!
