Moose is able to comfortably and safely accommodate six guests at a time.

First, let’s talk about seating. Moose has ample seating for all, including chairs, a day bed, and even bean bags. Our head (that’s sailor talk for bathroom) is maintained at the highest level of cleanliness and there is a refreshing open air shower on deck. Moose comes equipped with a refrigerator but we’ll also take care of the coolers, ice, cups, plates and utensils. Have a special request or need further information? Drop us a line and we’ll be happy to chat!

Excellent question! It’s usually cooler on the water. In the Spring and Fall a lightweight jacket and pants are appropriate. Even in the Summer you may want a jacket or sweatshirt for sunset cruises. Keep an eye on the weather on the days leading up to your trip with us—weather has this funny habit of constantly changing.

Leave the umbrella and chairs at home, but wear what you’d wear to the beach. We recommend a bathing suit (and a fresh change of clothes), a beach towel, sunblock, and a good hat. Footwear should be comfortable and soft soled. That’d include sneakers or sandals.

Chartering Moose is like owning your own boat for the day. Want to cruise around Newport harbor at sunset? Let’s do it! Go to Mackerel Cove for a dip? Cannonball! While a guest on Moose, you go where you want, when you want. Just let Captain Lauren know and vroom!

We are happy to provision your day out on the water. Our crew can put together an assortment of fun, local food and drinks for you and your guests to enjoy during your trip. Just let us know what you're thinking beforehand and we can work to make it happen. You’re also more than welcome to bring your own food and beverages.

Depending on the length of time/where you decide to go, fuel is usually around $50-$75 for the day.

Oh yeah. Moose is equipped with a powerful bluetooth sound system that can be paired with your phone or any other dedicated device. Captain Lauren also graduated top of her class in the DJing portion of her maritime training (v competitive), so the tunes are something we can handle, too.

Yes, our captain is fully Coast Guard licensed and has many years of experience operating vessels in Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay.

There are various options for parking in downtown Newport including the Mary Street Lot and the Newport Gateway Lot.. The most convenient option is paid parking available in the Mooring Restaurant parking lot (not included) which is where our captain will meet you to get out to Moose.

We will meet you right in front of the Moorings Restaurant (Sayers Wharf) no sooner than 15 minutes before your charter. We are not affiliated with Oldport Marine so please don’t ask for information/charter details as they run a totally separate operation from Moose and One-If.
