The one-hour route, run in partnership with the Rhode Island Department of Transportation, offers passengers views of lighthouses, the Newport Pell Bridge and the Providence port. Adult fares start at $12 one-way and $24 round trip, with $6 one-way fares for children, seniors and qualifying riders, and free travel for infants.
Boarding locations are at 25 India Street in Providence and Perrotti Park in Newport. The vessels include a full galley serving snacks, soft drinks and adult beverages. All boats are ADA compliant, the ferry is dog-friendly, and a limited number of bicycles are welcome onboard free of charge.
