Why take this tour?

Celebrate Dad with a Memorable Father's Day Cruise! 🚤

Treat Dad to a narrated journey along the scenic Providence River—where city views, calm water, and fun storytelling from our Captains turn a simple outing into something special. It’s relaxed, it’s unique, and it’s perfect for families looking to make the day feel a little more magical.

What Makes This Cruise a Hit
⭐All‑ages fun — bring the whole crew, from kids to grandparents.
⭐One‑of‑a‑kind river views — see Providence from a perspective you can’t get on land.
⭐Engaging narration — our Captains share stories, history, and local charm along the way.

Seats are limited, and this cruise sells out quickly. Reserve your spot now and give Dad a Father’s Day filled with fresh air, great views, and memories that last long after the day is over.

Frequently asked questions

What should I bring?

We suggest sunscreen, hats, sunglasses and a cold beverage for daytime tours, and a light windbreaker/sweater in the evening. We also suggest flat bottom, comfortable shoes. Most importantly, dress appropriately for the weather.

Is the tour suitable for children?

Please remember that our patrons are looking forward to hearing the Guide's narration without interruption. All ages are welcome, but we ask that you make sure this tour will be appropriate for your younger children.

Is there a bathroom on the boat?

There are no restrooms on the boats, so please plan ahead and use the bathroom inside The Landing prior to boarding. You will need to allow yourself extra time to check-in, use the bathroom and walk to the docks in time for boarding, so please arrive a few minutes earlier than normal.

Can I BYOB?

Absolutely! Our tours are BYOB-friendly, so feel free to bring your favorite drinks and sip as you cruise! Relax, unwind, and enjoy the views with Dad.

Do I have to wear a life vest?

RI Law requires all children under 13 years of age to wear a USCG approved PFD while underway in a vessel. Our vessels are inspected by the USCG, and we carry PFD's aboard for every passenger.

Can I bring my dog?

We love dogs, but....only service animals specifically trained to aid a person with a disability are allowed aboard. Comfort animals, emotional support animals, and therapy animals are not service animals and are therefore not recognized by the ADA or the State of Rhode Island.

Can I book a private tour?

Yes! Private Charters are offered 7 days/week, subject to availability. Please see that page on our website for details, or call our office for assistance.

Because our vessels were built specifically for us to navigate the low-hanging bridges throughout downtown Providence, neither of them are wheelchair accessible.

To get on and off our vessels, a person needs to be able to walk down a 40+ foot ramp from street level to our docks, and then step over the side rail and into the boat. Our crew can certainly offer a hand to get on/off the boat, however, we're not able to pick someone up and carry them aboard.

Walkers and wheelchairs may be left on the dock while touring, at your own risk.
