City Sights by Sea: Historic Narrated Boat Tours

Celebrate Providence’s past as we launch our 35th season of tours in 2026! 🏛️

A Playful Journey Through the City’s Past 🌊

Glide along the Providence River as our guides bring the city’s history to life — the triumphs, the quirks, the scandals, and the stories that shaped Rhode Island’s capital. From colonial characters to architectural showstoppers, every bend in the river reveals another chapter of Providence’s colorful past.

History Told From the Best Seat in Town 🎉

Seeing Providence from the water feels like stepping into a living time capsule. Landmarks you’ve passed a hundred times suddenly take on new meaning when viewed from the river that helped build the city itself.

A Local Tradition with 35 Years of Stories ⭐

For more than three decades, our tours have been the go-to way to explore Providence — whether you’re a lifelong local or a curious visitor. This anniversary season is the perfect moment to rediscover the city with fresh eyes.
