This river tour operation consistently delivers memorable experiences thanks to engaging, knowledgeable guides who excel at storytelling. Captain Bob, Kelly, and Peter get frequent shoutouts for their entertaining mix of humor, local history, and theatrical flair. The haunted boat tour seems particularly popular, with guides bringing ghost stories to life while the sun sets over Providence. Guests appreciate learning about the city's history and hidden stories, including a specialized shipwreck tour that takes advantage of ideal tides to showcase 29 wrecks along the Green Jacket Shoal. The check-in spot at The Landing adds to the experience with a cafe offering snacks, drinks, and ice cream, perfect for enjoying before or after your cruise. Most reviewers found the staff accommodating when changes were needed. One guest struggled with communication when trying to arrange a private cruise, experiencing some back-and-forth and delays. However, the overwhelming majority rave about their experiences. Pro tip: bring a jacket since it can get chilly on the water, even during warmer months.
