A beautiful evening that far exceeded our expectations. Dave was a fantastic captain and host giving us a relaxing and memorable experience on our sunset cruise. Bottle of wine, lovely snacks and the boat was pristine. Don’t think twice about adding this to your itinerary for a spectacular evening.

We were absolutely blown away by the accommodations and hospitality of Dave. He let us come early, leave late, he had wine and champagne and a charcuterie board waiting for us, and he made us hot dogs on the grille. He took pictures of our bachelorette party for us the whole time like our own personal photographer and then sent them to us after. He was incredibly kind and fun and easy going and I would 10/10 recommend this experience to anyone thinking about it.

I booked Dave’s boat for my sister’s bachelorette and it was nothing short of perfection. Dave was a wonderful captain who made sure we were safe and had a fantastic time. He even provided us with snacks and a variety of drinks including waters and gingerales. Would absolutely book again the next time I’m in Newport!
What could we possibly say about Capt Dave that fully encompasses how amazing he made our little sunset trip?! First off, Dave was so kind and friendly and accommodating. He had beverages and snacks for us when we arrived at the boat and all throughout the boat ride he would make sure we had everything we needed. The boat was so clean and well taken care of and he had a focus on safety that we appreciated while still giving us the flexibility to have fun and walk around the boat! He was very knowledgeable about the area and was flexible with wherever we really wanted to explore!! We regularly charter boats through this app and others; I would say that Capt Dave was our favorite captain so far on any charter!! 10/10 would recommend booking with him!
