Water Taxi

Catch fresh breezes and exquisite coastal views in a true local tradition — one that dates back to Newport's founding in 1639. In the 20 minutes that connects you from Castle Hill Inn's marina to downtown Newport and Perrotti Park, the complimentary M/V Mistress is your personal guide to the eastern shoreline of Narragansett Bay — gliding alongside sailboats as you pass Gilded Age mansions, the New York Yacht Club and the downtown skyline.

The M/V Mistress departs from the Castle Hill Marina and lands at the Ann Street Pier, followed by a quick stop at Perrotti Park before returning to the Castle Hill Marina.

Each ride is $15 per adult; children 12 and under ride free with an adult. A round trip on this route will take approximately 90 minutes.
