About Us
For more than two decades, Kristin and Captain Tom McGinn have been at the helm of Providence’s waterfront hospitality scene — proudly owning and operating the Providence River Boat Company, The Landing Café & Gift Shop, and Ocean State Kayak.
Together, they’ve built a family of experiences that celebrate Rhode Island’s maritime charm, from scenic river tours aboard The Mariner to a casual café and creamery, and hands‑on kayak adventures.
Their commitment to safety, community, and local storytelling has made them trusted stewards of the city’s waterways and beloved ambassadors for Providence tourism. Whether you’re cruising, paddling, or relaxing by the water, Kristin and Tom’s passion for creating memorable, authentic Ocean State experiences shines through in every detail.
