Boat Charter -Newport

dgoldish

Goodmornig Ladies-

My wedding will be a noon wedding this fall in Newport.  Someone had suggested us chartering a boat for after the wedding for the guests, which we would love to do if we can work it in our budget.  We are having about 150 guests for the wedding, which may be too large for a boat.  If we did young folks only we could possibly squeeze the group down to 60 if need be.  

Does anyone have any suggestions for companies to look at for a Saturday (say 4:30 to 7pm) and what the price would be around?

Here's a few to check out. Unfortunately I can't help with the prices, but I'm sure if you call they'll happily give you an idea!

This should give you a great place to start making some phone calls. One thing to remember is that fall evenings in Newport can get pretty cool, especially out on the water. So you may be safer to go with a boat that has optional indoors, just in case it's a really cool night. You'll also want to inquire about guest parking options at each place - some of them don't have their own parking lots, but may have ideas for nearby. Or it may be a pay lot. Good luck!
