Where Do I Check In? We are located inside The Landing, our café and gift shop, at 101 Dyer Street, Providence, RI 02903. The Landing is located at the corner of Dyer and Pine Streets, next door to Capriccio Restaurant.

When checking in for your boat ride, explore The Landing, where you'll find Rhode Island and coastal-themed souvenirs, gifts, home goods, jewelry, totes, magnets,

When Do I Need To Check In? Our tours launch exactly as scheduled. The boat cannot wait for late passengers, so you must arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled tour for check in. There are no bathrooms ON our boats. If you will need to use the restroom prior to boarding, please arrive at least 20 minutes early to use the bathroom inside The Landing.

Where Do I Park? Our neighborhood offers metered parking spaces, and several public (paid) parking lots and garages. Please plan ahead. There are no refunds or reschedules if you miss your tour due to traffic or parking issues.

Can I Bring My Dog? Only service animals specifically trained to aid a person with a disability are allowed aboard. Comfort animals, emotional support animals, and therapy animals are not service animals and are therefore not recognized by the ADA or the State of Rhode Island.

Are The Boats Accessible?
Because our vessels were built specifically for us to navigate the low-hanging bridges throughout downtown Providence, they are not wheelchair accessible.

What Should I Wear? Our vessels are uncovered, so please dress appropriately. Hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and cold beverages are recommended during the warmer summer months. Sweaters and jackets are recommended for evening and late summer tours.
