WaterFire is a work of art that involves movement, participation and surprise. It is full of motion—wood boats stoke the fires, rivers flow quietly beneath the burning braziers, sparks whirl through the night air, and flickering flames reflect off the dark surface of the water, animating the architectural fabric of the city.
These boat rides include a 50-minute evening cruise along the Providence waterways, with the added bonus of a partial WaterFire lighting in and around the basin of Waterplace Park. Join us for unparalleled views of the fires from the best seat in town!

5.00This was the best way to be there, I will probably do this again. The Captain was great, the music was great, and the ride was everything I hoped it would be and more.
Super cool experience

3.00The Waterfire was great and so was the boat ride! The missing piece was that if you're not sitting on the side of the boat facing the Waterfire you pretty much just see people in front of you and need to keep adjusting your posture and face to get a good look and pic. So either charge a lower price for people who don't get a direct look at the fire or take the second circle in the opposite direction
Must try trip in Providence, RI

5.00This was a great way to see the WaterFire. We saw the partial lighting. It was a hour long ride and well worth it. Definitely a must do.
