Lobster boats and lovely mansions - some of the many colorful sights to see on a Mid-day Cruise in Narragansett Bay. Guides on board the Gansett love sharing interesting facts and trivia about the lobster industry in Rhode Island and they know the stories of all the great mansions along the Newport shoreline. Pictured here, Castle Hill Resort. Castle Hill Lighthouse and the Sloop Providence captured in an etching by Rhode Island artist Parks Beach. The artist's work is sold on board the M/V Gansett and at Newport's fine galleries.

THERE IS SO MUCH to see and so much going on on the waterfront, you'll definitely want to board the Gansett for a cruise around the bustling harbor. While you take in the sights from the main deck or the upper deck, enjoy a light, refreshing treat from the galley. Gansett's Mid-Day Menu The crew is serving scoops of Warwick Ice Cream (made the old-fashioned way since 1930) with the sweet toppings of your choice, plus Del's Frozen Lemonade, iced-up fresh right on board. Sodas, juices and spring water are always compliments of the Captain. (All included in the tour price.) From the Cash Bar on board, ice-cold Narragansett Beer, lager, lite and boch, as well as chilled Barefoot Vineyards white wines, chardonnay and pinot grigio, plus a bold red merlot. Guests' fave: frozen Del's Lemonade with a little extra kick added - we dash iced vodka into the blender. Also serving a brut Champagne by the glass. 12;30 to 2 PM and 2:30 to 4 PM cruises Cost: $25.00 The Mid-Day tour lasts one and a half hours. *Editor's Choice Newport Life Magazine 2008 Lighthouse Cruises Tours: Sunrise Breakfast Mid-Day Cruise Sunset Cruise
