Scup Newport Charter Powerboat
Launch Tours Newport RI

Our private charters are perfect for couples, small groups and families, proposals, small wedding groups, or a day trip. A day on the water aboard our 30-ft Scup is the ultimate way to discover Newport, Narragansett Bay, and and the Gilded Age Bellevue Mansions. Would you prefer to anchor in a cove and get some sun and swim? We that that too. Do as much or as little as you like!

A 1.25 or trip will take you by such notable landmarks as Fort Adams, Hammersmith Farm, Clingstone, and Castle Hill. On a longer 2.5 hour charter, see the Bellevue Mansions from the water, head up to historic Bristol, circumnavigate Jamestown, or even anchor in an estuary for lunch. The choice is yours!

Of course, sipping your favorite beverage while watching the sunset over Jamestown the perfect way to finish your trip and to start your evening.
