About BB Riverboats

BB Riverboats is one of Cincinnati's top attractions, serving the Greater Cincinnati area for over 4 decades. They specialize in lunch, sightseeing, and dinner cruises on the beautiful Ohio River. Both of their authentic riverboats are available for private charter, with smaller private rooms to accommodate groups of all sizes. Visitors praise the friendly staff and enjoyable atmosphere on the boats. The food and drinks have mixed reviews; while some guests enjoyed the buffet-style dinner options, others found the food to be cold and lacking in seasoning, rating it a 5/10. There is a full cash bar available, but some recommend eating before the cruise, especially for the evening trips, which are noted for their romantic ambiance. While some guests have experienced minor organizational issues, such as delayed boarding times, BB Riverboats provides a fun and memorable experience on the river. For special events like weddings, the staff has been described as exceptionally attentive, going above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly, making it a unique and unforgettable experience for all guests.

    There are multiple reasons to visit B&B Riverboats!! Riverfest dinner cruise has the best seats you'll ever find for the massive fireworks show. Cruise for brunch down the river with a mimosa in hand. Bring your little ones to the themed cruises, they will not be disappointed. So many magical and once in a lifetime moments I've experienced here!!!!

    I do recommend the cruise part it’s self but the buffet was a solid 5/10 and for the price I expected atleast a 7-8/10. There are barely any options and the food was cold/ not seasoned well so the food was disappointing. The cruise at night was very romantic, I think there is an option to skip dinner - do that & eat before you go!
