Sacramento’s Premier Boat Venue for Parties & More ★★★★★

"I would give the River City Queen a 10 review if I could!!! Captain Jim and his staff were beyond great. Extremely accommodating, friendly, professional and just all around GREAT!! My wife had the best time celebrating her 50th birthday and Captain Jim and his staff were a huge part of it. Definitely the boat to get for a surprise party or any other type of party."

"50 people on the River City Queen to celebrate my birthday last week. What fun!!! We cruised up river and even made an excursion into the American River. The weather was completely perfect, the lighting gorgeous (it was the golden hour and sunset), food delicious, great mai tais and friendly staff! We even saw a sea lion lounging on someone's pier. My friends took some spectacular photos that I'm going to get them to share here."

"The perfect setting for my 80th birthday party. Family and friends dined at a delicious buffet and enjoyed their favorite beverages. The music, provided by Tony Shaw of Cornerstone Productions, was geared for the occasion, encouraging a raucous karaoke session. My birthday cake was fabulous. The hosts, Captain Jim and his mate, Kris made sure everything was perfect for the occasion. A memorable excursion on the Sacramento River. It was a party I will never forget."

La river expeditions.

Since 2008 we’ve been on the cutting edge of opening up public access to the Los Angeles River, and changing perceptions about the river’s possibilities, via our one-of-a-kind kayaking expeditions.

In 2024, we continue to not only run our educational tours but also to clean up the LA River and advocate for the Clean Water Act, provide an increasing number of tours for youth and underserved or marginalized populations, and work with likeminded partners to revitalize our hometown river—and other rivers, too, such as the Owens River.

We’ve led the way towards making these popular kayak tours a natural part of life in Los Angeles and improving the quality of life for all Angelenos.

The 2024 Season

Our 2024 kayaking season runs from Memorial Day (May 27) through Labor Day weekend (September 2).

Jet Boat River Tours Run Up River From Gold Beach

Frequently Asked

How do i dress for my jet boat tour.

Dress in layers and bring a stuff sack. Our tours begin in the cooler coastal weather and progressively warm up as you head upriver. Inland temperatures can be 20-30 degrees warmer than the coast! It is a good idea to wear light quick-drying clothing underneath a sweatshirt and windbreaker. You may also want to bring a light blanket. Be aware of seasonal changes, May tours will require much warmer clothing than August tours!

Comfortable non-slip footwear is advised. Your feet will stay relatively dry during the tour (even on whitewater tours) and there will be a small walk to lodges and restrooms during most tours. 

What Can I Bring?

Passengers are welcome to bring a small stuffsack or backpack on board and should include at least the basics of sunscreen, water, chapstick, sunglasses, and hat. For those 21 and older, make sure to bring ID and cash if you wish to purchase alcoholic beverages at the lodge. Alcoholic beverages or glass containers are not allowed on board the boat.

Are There Physical Limitations?

Our jet boat tours are safe and fun for all ages and mobility. Please call us to go over any concerns you may have. For anyone suffering from neck, back, or other physical ailments, it is best to consult your doctor before booking your tour.

When Can I Go Jet Boating?

Jet bot tours are available from May 1 thru October 21 each year. If you’re in Gold Beach outside of those dates, contact one of our boat captains for guided fishing options and private tours.

You’ll be treated to a BBQ plate that includes Ribs, Pulled Pork, Brisket, muffin, baked beans, and coleslaw  (Vegetarian options upon request at lodge).

Cancellations inside 24 hours forfeit entire ticket value.

What is prohibited on all tours?

Smoking, vaping, alcohol, and grumpy people.

Are there restrooms on the jet boat?

No restrooms on board. The longest you will be on the boat without a rest stop is just over 2 hours. 

Where’s the best place to sit?

All seats are window seats. Our boats are designed with a slight tier for great viewing. Seats are cushioned on both the bottom and back for your comfort. On the whitewater tours it will be bumpier towards the front, smoother towards the rear, and wet all over!

Can I reserve the front seat?

No reserved seating. Our pilots will load their boats to insure comfort and safety.

Will we get wet?

On our whitewater trips expect to get wet, but remember, the weather up river is beautiful. On the ‘Historic Mail Route’ it will depend on the day. Colder days our pilots will do their best to keep you dry and warm.

Do we wear lifejackets?

All our vessels are equipped with life jackets for all passengers. They are required to be worn by all passengers during the whitewater portion of the whitewater tours and throughout the tour for passengers 12 years of age or younger. Please speak with our office staff to request smaller lifejackets for your children prior to boarding.

Can you get sea sick on a jet boat?

Except in extreme cases, sea sickness and motion sickness do not occur. This is a river trip and does not have the motion of the ocean, which causes sea sickness.

Severe weather?

Rainy weather is rare during our operating season, but in case of severe weather reservations can be cancelled without penalty. Foggy mornings may be common, and do not constitute poor weather, fog usually only travels 3-5 miles inland. We require a minimum of 15 passengers to run a tour.

Special needs?

There are no odd questions. If you have any special needs or concerns i.e., walking up hill, bad back, wheelchairs, motion sickness, worried about the trip or whatever the question might be, please ask.

Age limit, fragile and pregnant?

Jerry’s has tours suitable for any age, young to the young at heart. There are no special requirements. We advise older, frailer passengers to consider the Bay Cruise or Historic Mail Route. This is also recommended for people with bad backs or pregnant.

Can I bring my pet?

Pets are not allowed on board. There are a few options available for pet boarding in Gold Beach:

Happy Hills Kennel (541) 425-5222

Arrangements need to be made prior to your trip date. If you have a service animal that assists with sight, sound or mobility please call our office 1 (800) 451-3645 or email [email protected] to discuss your options.

Just so you know! A few of our pilots bring their dogs along. These ‘pilot dogs’ are specially trained to spot wildlife, save swimmers, provide pilot comfort and clean up left over food in the boat.

Is jet boating dangerous?

Safety of our passengers and other river users is our main concern. There are inherent risks and dangers involved in whitewater power boating on the Rogue River. These risks may include equipment failure, adverse weather conditions, hazardous whitewater rapids, rough water, abrupt boat handling and 360 degree spins. RogueJets, Inc, Mail Boat Upriver Service, Inc., Rogue Mail Boat Service, Inc., their employees, directors, and officers are not responsible for liability resulting from personal injury and property damage during this tour. Jerry’s Rogue Jets safely introduces 30,000 travelers annually to the Rogue River.

How are the Mail Route and Express Whitewater the same length of time?

The pace of the trip, departure schedule, vessel, and meal break are the four main reasons these trips are able to operate on the same schedule. The Whitewater Tour uses our smaller whitewater vessels and moves quicker upriver. The Historic Mail Route uses our bigger 65 passenger vessels and has a more subdued ‘scenic’ emphasis. 

How is Jerry’s considered a Mail Boat?

We deliver the mail! We’ve been delivering mail to Agness Oregon since 1895 and continue to do it 6 days a week throughout the year. Every morning on the ‘Historic Mail Route’ passengers watch as mail is dropped and then picked up and brought back to Gold Beach. While passengers enjoy a meal stop in Agness the post office is busy sorting mail and preparing outgoing mail for the return trip.

Notes from the Deck

We’ve been cruising on RiverQuest since February.  We had a great time on the Winter Wildlife Eagle Cruises.  The Deep River Eagles always seem to be a mystery, but they have settled into their new nest on Selden Island and we are counting the days to see signs of a hatchling.   Our school groups have had some great sightings!  They saw mature and immature eagles, a peregrine falcon, mergansers, great cormorants, the first tree swallows and a seal or two. Summer Camp is just around the corner, check out our combined boat and museum program HERE.

Customers Love Our Cape Fear River Cruises!

Our family did the Eagles Island tour. We enjoyed smoothies while the tour guide shared some neat facts. Perfect weather and the tour was entertaining. Our kids enjoyed it and my husband and I as well. We would definitely go back. It was a pleasant want to end our stay in Wilmington.

The guide was very knowledgeable and the entire staff was friendly and courteous. We're already planning on going back next summer and doing the trip north. I would highly recommend to anyone. Not only will you learn about the area, but it is a very relaxing and enjoyable ride on the river.

What a nice way to wind down the day. The operators are truly welcoming and very knowledgeable. It was a very hot day and we had some time to kill before dinner and this was perfect. We got to watch the sunset from the river and we learned more about the city we visit often.

We really enjoyed the ride and seeing the working port of Wilmington. We even got to see a couple ships coming in, so that was a bonus. The narrator/captain was friendly and made the cape river cruise fun and interesting. It was a perfect way to pass the time on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

Top-Rated Providence Boat Tours!

This was the first thing I did when I arrived in Providence and Captain Peter's tour was an amazing way to be welcomed to Providence! He was so knowledgeable and informative and I found myself remembering interesting points he shared all throughout my three-day stay. The meeting point was easy to find and I highly recommend you enjoy an ice cream at the Creamery before the boat ride!

I didn’t know the river was so beautiful. The narrator was very informative and the description of the history of river usage was interesting. It was a great way to introduce visitors to the “highlights” of downtown Providence, from a unique perspective. The description of how the hurricane barrier was built was fascinating. I highly recommend this tour!

Captain Tom was a great tour guide. He was super knowledgeable, very friendly and had a great sense of humor. We didn't have a lot of time in Providence, so we weren't sure what to do. Taking the boat tour was a great choice and good use of our time. We highly recommend it for anyone visiting the city...you will learn a lot and see some pretty great views.

After enjoying the fun narrated tours lead by Captain Tom for the past few years, we were excited for the opportunity to explore the Green Jacket Shoal. We had wondered, during low tide, what the exposed wood in the river was off of India Point Park. The tour, guided by David Robinson, brought us out - up close - to “Rhode Island’s largest ship graveyard” where we learned about each boat settled there, and therefore, a lot about Providence history. The boat ride was fun and fascinating!

We took the Haunted Boat Tour this past weekend and both our captain (Peter) and ghost guide (Clay) did an excellent job keeping us entertained with interesting stories with insightful history of the city. The story of Edgar Allen Poe was definitely our favorite. We would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a spooky time!

We had a wonderful cruise in Providence with the Gooseneck Wine Co. We had a blast! We learned so much history from our boat captain. The sky was clear. A beautiful evening, was perfect for a leisurely cruise. Thanks for such a wonderful time. I highly recommend it!

Captain Tim and the tour narrator Jake were superb! Very knowledgeable and informative. We loved that we were able to bring food and drinks aboard. This tour by far was one of the best. An affordable rate for a guided tour on the water. We enjoyed the small group and the relaxed atmosphere. We look forward to sharing our experience with our family & friends! Thank you again for the great experience!

We took our grandsons on the Haunted River Tour. All of us enjoyed Kelly, our guide, who enthusiastically told us many scary stories of ghosts in Providence. The boat ride was really interesting and felt like we were going underground with all the bridges. Fun evening!

Went on a late afternoon voyage this past Sunday for a friends birthday. What a great time and beautiful day in the harbor. As a lifetime Rhode Islander, seeing the Providence shorelines from a different perspective was absolutely enlightening. Being able to see the old and new bridges, and how they were constructed is very cool. Captain Tom was not only incredibly informative, he had a great sense of humor and made the ride extremely enjoyable.

We loved our relaxing boat ride through the WaterFire show this past weekend! The driver of our boat was able to get views for both sides of the boat during different portions of the show and I noticed he was slowing down in front of some of the cool sections of flames to allow people a chance to take pictures and selfies. The view from the boat ride was amazing of the flames and the show. I would absolutely recommend taking a boat ride during WaterFire. It took the show to an 11 on a 1-10 scale!

Twilight cruise is beautiful. Captain was great, wine delicious. Great experience. Didn't want it to end. What a value!

We booked a 2 hour private charter for my buddy’s bachelor party on 6/11. It was AWESOME. Tim was our captain, and we couldn’t have imagined having a better experience. BYOB and making great memories with the boys? Sign me up. If you are ever in the Providence area, this is a must. Thank you for the amazing time and if we are ever back in the area we will be back.
