Tennessee Aquarium River Gorge Explorer Boat

Welcome aboard the Tennessee Aquarium River Gorge Explorer! This 70 passenger high-speed catamaran is the first of its kind in the Southeast. Aquarium visitors can extend their “mountains to the sea” adventure by cruising into the Tennessee River Gorge aboard this sleek vessel. An Aquarium naturalist will lead you into this protected habitat, pointing out wildlife and historic points of interest along the way.

“People are going to be impressed by this vessel. It handles more like a fighter-jet than a boat.” ~ Captain Mike Hosemann.
