I cannot say *enough* wonderful things about Snappa Charters and Captain Charlie! This was my first…read moretime out on a boat in about 7 years, and it was my first time snorkeling with sharks (and also snorkeling in general) ever. From the second we arrived at the dock, Charlie made my friend and I feel completely at ease. One of my favorite things about him is that you can tell from the minute you start talking to him that he's not out to exploit the sharks in any way. After tagging over 2,600 sharks, Charlie really just wants to share his knowledge with you and provide a deeper understanding of these animals. His heart is completely in the right place, and he is amazingly authentic and kind. And as for the actual shark-diving experience, it was genuinely one of the coolest things I've ever done in my life. We had EIGHT sharks around us total, and after a while, they came right up to us! I was nervous at first getting into the water, but after a while, you realize that the sharks are just more curious than anything and far more interested in the fish we were giving them. I could have stayed in the water ALL DAY. I would go back again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Charlie, for your kindness, patience, and natural teaching ability. I had the best day, and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering this amazing experience!

We legit were hooking into 2 and 3 fish on a single rig. I caught sport fish until my arms were tired. After an incredibly active morning we switched over to Black Sea bass and were hooking in left and right. His deck hand was supreme and attentive to keep lines in the water. On the boat ride back she cut the fish into filets and bagged em up! He also offers shark fishing, shark dives, champagne sunset tours and a plethora of other oceanic options. I will be a returning customer without doubt! Cheers!

If I could give this 0 stars, I would. Months ago, I booked a Saturday 10:15 boat with Sea Newport…read morefor my bachelorette weekend. We arrived on the dock to wait for our captain when the Sea Newport team called me at 10 am to let me know they were having "mechanical issues" and would need to cancel our boat. No one from the boat came from the dock out to speak with me, they did not offer to rebook us for a different date or boat, nor did they offer recommendations on where to find a new charter. A bridesmaid walked down to the boat to talk to the captain. We were told the captain "hit his head" and we weren't sure if we'd be able to take the boat out. Someone from the team only came out to speak in person and apologize for the situation until after a bridesmaid basically forced them to. From trying to rebook elsewhere, it sounds like the Sea Newport team overbooks themselves and does this often. I had captains from other boats sending me photos of our boat and captain out at sea with another group during our booked charter time. Maria and Latitude Charters saved the day and the bachelorette weekend after Sea Newport seriously ruined it.

The whole experience was amazing! The captain and crew, Curtis and Holly, were so welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. We got a scenic 1.5 hour tour around Narragansett Bay, capturing the natural beauty of the area and learning about many of the historical sites in Newport. The picnic boat is adorable and the crew made sure we got plenty of photos. They also provided a cooler with some beverages and gave our puppy a dog bowl of water and ice. It was such a fun trip and I highly recommend it. Would definitely book again when I'm back in town!

We booked a charter for a bachelorette trip, and at 10:00 PM the night before our reservation, we received a text from Captain Steve asking if we could move our charter time. We already had dinner reservations planned around the original time, so changing it created a huge inconvenience. We reluctantly agreed to move it from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM, only for him to contact us again and push it back another hour to 4:30 PM. The lack of communication and professionalism was extremely disappointing. If you can't honor your schedule or follow through on promises you make to customers, you shouldn't be running a charter business. I would not book with this company again. 0/5 stars
