Great boat tour of the Providence river with Captain Pete who is friendly knowledgeable and really enjoys his job. We had a great hour with him and would recommend this to anyone

We had a great ride on Saturday during Columbus Day weekend. The tour was very informative and our Captain, Peter, was wonderful! He was very eager to share his knowledge about Providence and he was great to travel with. I'd highly recommend this trip!

We spent the day as tourists in our own city, and the Providence Riverboat Tour was the best part! Easy to order tickets online before, convenient to sit by the water with a cocktail at Tel Aviv before boarding (cocktails are welcome aboard, too!) and wicked fun to tour the city from the river! Captain Tom knew his stuff and even us locals learned more about Providence's history. Going to tell everyone I know to check it out!

After enjoying the fun narrated tours lead by Captain Tom for the past few years, we were excited for the opportunity to explore the Green Jacket Shoal. We had wondered, during low tide, what the exposed wood in the river was off of India Point Park. The tour, guided by David Robinson, brought us out - up close - to “Rhode Island’s largest ship graveyard” where we learned about each boat settled there, and therefore, a lot about Providence history. The boat ride was fun and fascinating!

We had a wonderful cruise in Providence with the Gooseneck Wine Co. We had a blast! We learned so much history from our boat captain. The sky was clear. A beautiful evening, was perfect for a leisurely cruise. Thanks for such a wonderful time. I highly recommend it!

I had the pleasure of being on the first Haunted Boat Tour. Captain Peter and our guide, Kelly were wonderful! Both were very knowledgeable, with great stories to tell. Beautiful ride on the river, learning some of the eerie history of Providence. Thanks for a fun night!

Went on a late afternoon voyage this past Sunday for a friends birthday. What a great time and beautiful day in the harbor. As a lifetime Rhode Islander, seeing the Providence shorelines from a different perspective was absolutely enlightening. Being able to see the old and new bridges, and how they were constructed is very cool. Captain Tom was not only incredibly informative, he had a great sense of humor and made the ride extremely enjoyable.

We loved our relaxing boat ride through the WaterFire show this past weekend! The driver of our boat was able to get views for both sides of the boat during different portions of the show and I noticed he was slowing down in front of some of the cool sections of flames to allow people a chance to take pictures and selfies. The view from the boat ride was amazing of the flames and the show. I would absolutely recommend taking a boat ride during WaterFire. It took the show to an 11 on a 1-10 scale!
