Some boats tell stories. The tug Patricia Hoey has been writing them on Detroit’s waterways for decades. Captain Steve shares a closer look at one of the hardworking vessels that helps keep maritime operations moving along the river.

The water is calm, the skyline is shining, and the perfect breeze is rolling across the river. Some days, all you need is a little sunshine, a little fresh air, and a front-row seat to the beauty of the Detroit River.

As Prom Season Comes to a Close...

The dresses have been worn, the photos have been taken, and memories have been made.

We want to thank all the students, families, schools, and groups who chose Diamond Jack's River Tours to be part of such a special milestone. Watching students celebrate against the backdrop of the Detroit skyline and the beautiful Detroit River is something we never take for granted.

To the Class of 2026, congratulations! We hope your prom was filled with laughter, friendship, and memories you'll carry for years to come.

Thank you for letting us be a small part of your story.

In Captain Paul C. LaMarre Jr.’s watercolor, the Herbert C. Jackson moves with that quiet, steady presence she’s always carried strong, grounded, and unhurried. And just there beside her… the Diamond Jack the boat that started it all.

Two very different vessels, two different purposes. But the same river… the same story. One built to carry cargo and keep commerce moving. The other built to carry people to share the river, to show it, to connect others to it.

You can almost feel the moment past and present meeting in the same stretch of water. The hum of industry alongside the beginning of something new.
Before the crowds.

Before the seasons filled with tours.
There was just a boat… an idea… and the river.
And somehow, it all fits perfectly in this one painting.

There’s something special about a couple choosing to say “I do” a second time. Surrounded by family, friends, and stunning views, this vow renewal was filled with laughter, happy tears, and unforgettable memories.

We're honored to once again be part of Shimmer on the River, the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy's largest annual fundraiser!

This unforgettable evening features live entertainment, stunning riverfront views, and the perfect way to end the night a sunset cruise aboard Diamond Jack's River Tours.

There’s something truly special about seeing Detroit's award-winning riverfront from the water as the sun begins to set. Whether you're a longtime supporter of the riverfront or experiencing it for the first time, this is a night you won't want to miss.

Best of all, every ticket purchased helps support the maintenance, programming, security, and accessibility of the Detroit Riverfront, ensuring these beautiful public spaces remain available for everyone to enjoy.
