We clean the boat from bow to stern and top and bottom. The forward stateroom is cleaned, lockers, counters, and galley, all wiped with cleaners. The bathroom is scrubbed and dried by hand with a towel. The helm station, bench seats, and back aft of the boat are washed and dried. Now, why do we go to such extremes? This is my personal boat and my family is on board often. We do one charter a day for four days a week so after you leave, I have the whole rest of the day to clean, clean, and clean. But, no worries, I love it. I think you will too. We are a great way to see the sights of Newport harbor, various lighthouses, or a beautiful sunset. Whatever your pleasure, call us for the best experience.
Charles was a wonderful captain and we had an amazing trip! He and the boat could not have been better!
Captain Charles is THE BEST!! My husband, 3 children and I booked this and it was hands down the highlight of vacation for each one of us. Captain Charles (or Uncle CC as my oldest has now named him) went above and beyond to make sure the kids had fun, felt comfortable and we’re safe. He had numerous life jacket to choose from and let them jump off the boat AND had a huge raft he tied out there for the kids. We had no idea about this and the kids cannot stop talking about it. We all loved touring through the harbor and hearing so many interesting bits from Charles about places, boats and homes we were seeing. It was fascinating. Captain Charles could not have been nicer to work with and meet. His communication was top notch from days before our ride together. Once on the boat, he has a natural way of making you feel like you’ve been friends for years. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our time with Captain Charles on his boat, which was beautiful and the cleanest boat.
Family of four had a fantastic time boating with Captain Charles! Harbor tour was fun and informative and dropping anchor in Mackerel Cove to swim and have lunch was perfect! Boat was roomy, very clean and had shade and sun so everyone was happy! Best day ever… we all highly recommend!
Couldn’t have asked for a better captain! Absolutely wonderful - so accommodating!!Incredible boat and time spent on-board. Will be re-booking another charter soon.
Overall a wonderful experience!!
