Settle into the climate-controlled interior or enjoy the views from the deck. The yacht also has a restroom on board, and drinks and appetizers are available to purchase during the cruise. The experience is wheelchair accessible, and service animals are allowed. Depart from Volunteer Landing Marina, then return to the starting point after your river journey.

How this score is calculated

How the score works and rating distribution in Knoxville
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.0.
