You'll board the Southland to begin an 11 mile narrated nautical tour that people have been talking about for over 30 years.  This tour gives you an opportunity to see some of the most beautiful scenery in all of New England!  You’ll view such sights as the Historic Point Judith Lighthouse, the protected waters of the Harbor of Refuge, beautiful beaches, as well as a glimpse of Block Island. 

You will see the 2nd largest working fishing port on the East Coast with offshore draggers, lobster boats and sport fishing vessels.  Many of the sport fishing boats sail past us and quite often, the prize catches of Tuna, Swordfish and Shark can be viewed from our decks.

The Southland then enters the Point Judith Pond, the largest salt pond in all of Rhode Island. You will be amazed at the breathtaking scenery of the 11 islands and the many pristine coves and inlets.

As you cruise the length of the pond, view classic New England homes, colorful sailboats and the local fisherman digging for clams & quahogs. 

If you're a bird lover you're in for a real treat!  You may see Turns, Gulls, Red-Winged Blackbirds, Osprey, Cormorants, Canadian Geese, Snowy Egrets, White Swans and if you're lucky you'll see an elusive Blue Heron.

Southland’s secret is that she is something unique and memorable to each of her passengers.  For over three decades folks have enjoyed our breathtaking views,  it really is a great way to spend an afternoon in the sunshine enjoying the cool salt air breezes, simply there is no other cruise like it in Rhode Island!
