Rhode Island is nothing if not known for her waterways. With the most miles of coastline of any state, it's fun that the smallest state can have a claim to something so massive! Of course a big past time in the ocean state is boating, cause we have to make the most of all this coast. You may not have thought about river boating with all the ocean to take in, but we think you should, and Providence River Boat Company is here to help!
Providence River Boat Company is a staple of Providence tourism (and local) culture.
The river running through Providence might not seem like the best boating location, but you would be wrong! These tours are a perfect way to get a glimpse of the city in a way you might never have before.
You will feel dwarfed by the tall buildings and utterly awed by the public art you see on your trip.
There are a multitude of tour options that run from half an hour to a full hour and twenty five minutes, and each has their own appeal.
You can take a tour that features the history of Providences waterways or another that focuses on the architecture of the city.
There are also wine tasting tours, sunset rides, a tour of a ship graveyard, or even a haunted trip led by the guides from Providence Ghost tours!
There really is something for everyone at Providence Riverboat Company.
And we can't forget the waterfire rides, there are trips availabe during both full and partial lightings that are sure to dazzle.
If you want a boat all to yourself, you can even charter your own private riverboat as well. What a cool adventure!
We think that no matter what tour you choose you're guaranteed to have a great time
discovering a side of Providence you might not have known before.
This seems like such an absolute blast. Are you excited to ride down the Providence River?

If you're looking for something a bit more intimate, you can learn about taking a gondola ride along the same river here.
