Traditional sailing vessels such as this one always are a thrilling sight to see off Newport Harbor as they breeze past alongside the Gansett. It's just one of the many "photo moments" to be enjoyed during a Sunset Cruise of Narragansett Bay. A sunset scene 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.

ACTIVITY IN NEWPORT HARBOR begins to wind down around sunset, and Narragansett Bay is bathed in a magical glow just before before dark. Hot dogs and stuffed clams? What's this all about?? new! poor man's surf and turf cruises - friday nites in august only! more info, click here. Gansett's Evening Menu Enjoy award-winning R.I. "Stuffies" from Lighthouse Catering. (Oprah raved about them on her show!) Relax as you listen to old tales and great stories about the people, places and happenings in Newport Harbor. Stuffed quahogs, along with other treats from the galley, plus sodas, juices and spring water are always included in the tour price, compliments of the Captain. A tradition every evening - the Captain's Champagne Toast at Sunset. 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.
