This is a gem! If you are toying with the idea of booking the Capt Carl, you will not be disappointed. Kathy was excellent to communicate with and we were greeted with beautiful hydrangeas and a bottle of wine! The boat was very clean and has everything you could need for the stay. The houseboat is walking distance to all of Newport but also secluded enough for some quiet and relaxation. A beautiful place to be for sure!! We will certainly be back.
