Providence WaterFire Boat Rides (Full Lightings)

WaterFire is full of motion—fire tenders stoke the fires, rivers flow quietly beneath the braziers, sparks whirl through the night air, and flames reflect off the dark surface of the water, animating the architectural fabric of the city. Our WaterFire boat rides put you right in the heart of one of Rhode Island’s most iconic traditions. WaterFire lightings are intimate, unforgettable, and unmistakably Providence—an experience you simply can’t get anywhere else. Glide through the glow with us as firelight dances on the water and music fills the air. These cruises sell out fast, so grab your spots and let the flames guide you. We've been offering our WaterFire boat rides since the fires began in 1994, come see why we are the best way to experience this magical and beloved Providence event!
