Providence River Boat Company
Discover the historic, cultural, and contemporary stories of Providence’s waterways on our fun and relaxing Narrated Historic Tours, Twilight River Cruises, Haunted Boat Tours, Vineyard Voyages, Architecture Tours, Wine & Brine Cruises, WaterFire rides, and so much more!
Our Captains and Tour Guides lead you through the Providence River, Riverwalk, Waterplace Park, and the Providence Harbor, sharing historical, nautical, and architectural highlights along the way. Every cruise offers a unique perspective of the city — from its storied past to its vibrant present.
We’re honored to have been named “Member of the Year” by GoProvidence, and to have earned TripAdvisor’s “Certificate of Excellence." We were recognized by Yankee Magazine as having a “Best City Tour,” and voted as “Best Local Tour” in Best of Rhode Island. Now celebrating our 35th season on the Providence waterways, we invite you to join us and experience the city from the water!
Find us inside The Landing — our café, gift shop, and ice cream parlor — located at 101 Dyer Street in downtown Providence.
