Enjoy
a late afternoon cruise to Block Island or the protected waters of Narragansett
Bay. Discover the beauty of RI’s shoreline. With 21 lighthouses to
choose from, you are sure to find something for everyone. Dating back to
the mid 1700’s, the history of each lighthouse will be covered. The
cruise between each lighthouse will include commentary on famous landmarks
such as Fort Adams and the former Quonset Naval Air Station. Also, the role
each played in RI’s marine history, as well as any other important
sites that have historical significance will be mentioned. A quick loop
around Newport harbor allows viewing of world class 12-meter yachts, private
ocean yachts and Newport’s commercial fleet. Lunch or dinner at a
fine dockside restaurant in Newport or Block Island can be arranged. We
will pass by three of the state’s largest bridges, one having a span
of almost two mi. During the fall, observe the coastline’s spectacular
foliage. Finish a perfect day by watching the sunset behind the horizon
of Pt. Judith Lighthouse or Block Island. Soft drinks and snacks are provided.
