Reviews
- Fantastic!!!
The crew on the Rum Runner 2 was like going out on a cruise with close friends. Food, drinks, sunset and finally the fireworks! Don't miss this experience, by far the best way to see the Newport July 4th fireworks. Kids want to come back every year.

- Best part of our trip to the east coast
The crew was friendly, accommodating and knowledgable. The captain did a wonderful job getting us out into the bay and back to the dock. The fireworks, food and drinks were endless and to top off a great cruise was a delicious cupcake. Thanks for a great adventure.

- Cruise under the stars amidst the Fireworks
What a wonderful way to spend the fourth of July evening, on a boat in Narragansett Bay sitting under the fireworks. The crew was so accomodating, great food, drink and company onboard. Would highly recommend.
