Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the boat tour? Thinking of gifting this to my 13-year-old nephew.

A: Yes, the boat tour welcomes passengers ages 12 and up, so your 13-year-old nephew is good to go! Just make sure he’s comfortable on a boat, as the duration can vary depending on the day. Definitely a unique gift!

Q: What happens if it rains on the day of the tour? Can we reschedule?

A: If it rains, they usually reschedule the tour for a later date. You can contact Providence River Boat Co. directly for specifics on their cancellation policy. It's a good idea to keep an eye on the forecast as your tour date approaches!

Q: What should we wear on the boat? Any tips for a comfortable experience?

A: Definitely wear layers! It can get chilly on the water, especially if you go during the early morning or late afternoon. Also, non-slip shoes are a must, and I'd recommend a light jacket just in case. Don't forget sunscreen too!

Can anyone share their experience of the Green Jacket Shoal boat tour?

I'm thinking of gifting this boat tour to my dad for his birthday. He loves maritime history and I think he’d appreciate learning about the ship graveyard! How was the experience? Was David Robinson as interesting as he sounds? How about the duration – did it feel too long or just right?

Looking to book the Green Jacket Shoal tour soon, but have questions!

I’m considering this boat tour for my family, but I’m worried about how smooth the waters are. Anyone know if it’s suitable for someone who gets seasick? And how’s the parking situation in Providence?
