About Rum Runner II - Newport Boat Tours


Enjoy a breathtaking motor boat tour of Newport Harbor and relive the speed and thrill of the chase of the smuggler boats from the days of Prohibition. Motor yacht Rum Runner II, which was originally built for two New Jersey mobsters to elude the Coast Guard while speeding cases of "Hooch", offers the luxury of a classic yacht and intrigue you would imagine of a high-speed bandit motor boat with a history all her own while touring Newport Harbor.

Aboard the high speed motor boat Rum Runner II tour, you will cruise by the Newport mansions and former speakeasies that were fueled by seaborne smugglers. This newly restored Elco Motor yacht, built in 1929 during the height of Prohibition, carries you swiftly and safely through local waters of Newport Harbor on an adventurous motor boat tour. Originally powered with Packard Power Boat Engines, she has been re-powered with twin turbo-charged 350HP Caterpillar Marine Diesels Power boat engines, to ensure our Newport Harbor tour is both thrilling and comfortable.

Newport harbor is one of the most historic, exciting and beautiful harbors in New England and a harbor tour or sunset cruise on the Rum Runner II is the best way to experience it.  Don’t let your family or friends miss out on experiencing a harbor tour or sunset cocktail cruise with Classic Cruises of Newport.  Our dedicated and experienced crews are there to ensure that your harbor tour or sunset cocktail cruise is the perfect addition to you Newport vacation.
