It's a yachting adventure, RUM RUNNER II

A truly unique boating experience awaits you aboard the RUM RUNNER II. This newly restored Elco Motor Yacht, built during prohibition in 1929, offers the thrill of seeing all of Newport's harbor sights and much more.

RUM RUNNER II was originally built for New Jersey mobsters to elude the Coast Guard while speeding cases of "Hooch" ashore on moonless nights. Today she carries passengers instead of rum, swiftly and safely through local waters. She offers the luxury you would expect of a yacht and the intrigue you would imagine of a high speed bandit with a history all her own. RUM RUNNER II is U.S. Coast Guard certified and capable of carrying up to 49 passengers. Vessel departs from Banister's Wharf in historic downtown Newport.
