Fully Private

We love our friends on the large tour boats, but we also know some folks just want time to themselves. Aboard our comfortable picnic boat, it is only you, the people you invite, and your provided crew. We never sell public tickets and six guests maximum keeps the crowd size small. This gives you an intimate perspective of the harbor and a view of Newport like no other. 

What To Bring

We try our hardest to have everything you may need aboard, but your cruise will definitely be more enjoyable when you pack these items. 

  • Sunscreen

  • Hat

  • Sunglasses

  • Towel (if you plan to swim)

  • Extra layer (it can be chillier on the water than on land)

  • Your favorite snacks and beverages

  • Your dog!

About Our Vessel: M/V Tabasco

Originally hailing from Sebasco Harbor just outside Phippsburg, ME, Tabasco is a 32 foot Wasque (way-squee) powerboat built in Martha's Vineyard in 1973. She spent nearly her entire life in Maine, named as a play on words of her hailport of Sebasco, ME. Before starting her new life in Newport, her loving owner of over 25 years spent countless summer days enjoying time with friends and family on her off the Maine coast. 

​

Now a Newport gal, Tabasco is a head turner with her classic styling and modern amenities. She sports ample deck space which we like to call her "flex space." With an aft lounge bench, moveable deck chairs, and table, it is the perfect space for serving both charcuterie boards as well as showing off your best dance moves. She has a full audio system with Bluetooth connectivity to make sure the mood is set or the tunes are pumping.
