OYSTER FARM TOURS
NINIGRET POND, CHARLESTOWN RHODE ISLAND
a closer look at oyster farming
Back by popular demand - we are excited to offer a limited series of oyster farm tours for the summer 2025 season! Step aboard our pontoon work boat for a 90-minute tour of our 9-acre oyster farm in beautiful Ninigret Pond in Charlestown, RI. Designed for small groups of up to 6 guests, these behind-the-scenes tours offer a close-up look at the full lifecycle of our oysters, from small seed to market size.
We’ll take you out to the farm and talk through each stage of the growing process, showing the equipment we use and explaining how it’s beneficial to growing our oysters. Along the way, you'll learn about the science, sustainability, and daily routines of oyster farming, with plenty of opportunities for Q&A and enjoying the scenery of the pond. Each tour includes a tasting of freshly harvested oysters, and you’ll head home with some to enjoy later.

Sure! We’ll provide water and soft drinks, but feel free to bring a beverage of your choice to enjoy on the boat.
IS THE TOUR RAIN OR SHINE?
Providing a safe and enjoyable experience is at the top of our list, so we’ll reschedule if heavy rain or wind is in the forecast. You’ll be notified 24 hours in advance if we need to make a change.

All tours leave from Ninigret Landing Marina in Charlestown, RI. Full details on parking, directions, and timing will be included in your confirmation email.
ARE KIDS ALLOWED?
While tours are geared toward adults, kids are welcome. Kids 12 and under must wear a life jacket, which we’ll provide.
CAN I BOOK A PRIVATE TOUR FOR MORE THAN 6 GUESTS?
Unfortunately, 6 guests is the maximum capacity we’re permitted to take out on our boat at one time, and we’re not able to make exceptions—even for private tours. We appreciate your understanding!
