Seastreak has announced their schedule for the Providence to Newport Ferry, service is scheduled to begin on Friday, July 1st.
Back on June 25th, What’sUpNewp brought you the news that the Newport to Providence Ferry would return on July 1st.
“Experience the majesty of Narragansett Bay on your way to the charming New England enclave of Newport, R.I. Whether traveling from Providence, Boston, or points north or south, skip the traffic and parking on your way to explore its distinctive shops, renowned restaurants, diverse accommodations, world-class events, and miles of unspoiled beaches and scenic trails. Hands-down, the ferry from Providence really is the best way to get there,” Seastreak’s website says about the new destination of Newport.
Seastreak will use the 149-passenger catamaran that was previously used on a Providence-to-Newport ferry route for the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority between 2003 and 2008.
