Leave the driving to us, ride the Ferry!

The Jamestown Newport Ferry has stopped running for the 2011 season, but is still available for charter through the end of October.  

The Jamestown Newport Ferry offers a scenic boat tour of lower Narragansett Bay and Newport Harbor and provides easy access for visiting a variety of destinations where you will find many opportunities for sightseeing, historical tours, museum visits, shopping and dining. A round-trip ticket allows passengers to hop on and off the Ferry as often as desired. Present your ferry ticket at Rose Island, Fort Adams and the Museum of Yachting for $1 off the entry fee.  One-way fares also available. 

Avoid the hassle and costliness of parking! Attend a cross-bay event such as the Sunset Music Series and Comedy Series at the Newport Yachting Center or the legendary Folk and Jazz Festivals at Fort Adams.  Take advantage of our new Evening Special, where round-trip adult tickets are discounted to $9 per person after 4pm. Visit your neighboring island for dinner and enjoy a scenic tour of the Bay and cocktail from our bar along the way!

Visitors approaching Newport from the west can leave their cars behind and board the Jamestown Newport Ferry from Conanicut Marina at One East Ferry Wharf in Jamestown. Free day parking is available at Conanicut Marine’s Boatyard facility (260 Conanicus Avenue) located behind the Jamestown Police Station.  Call our courtesy shuttle at 401-423-7157 for a ride to the Ferry. Additionally, there is usually day parking available in Jamestown Village four blocks uptown on Narragansett Avenue between the Fire Station and the blinking light.

Departures from downtown Newport to cross-bay destinations leave from Perrotti Park on America’s Cup Avenue adjacent to the Newport Marriott Hotel, Bowen’s Ferry Landing at Market Square, and also from Waites Wharf on Lower Thames Street.

Enjoy your cruise!
