My wife and I were looking for a place with great views of the fireworks but we wanted to avoid the crowds and have a drink while we watch the display. Well, we found it. We booked the 8:30 PM trip on the Adirondack II. The boat is beautiful, the crew is professional and nice, and you cannot beat the view. There are about 25 other passengers on board with seats for all. Crew serves beer, wine, or champagne (included in ticket price) and lite snacks. We were also very fortunate because the weather was great. I have been on this boat, and the Madeline, and it is also a great way to tour Newport Harbor any time in the summer.
