Enjoy a Batteau Ride on The James

James River Tours and Cruises 

We combine batteau history and outdoor recreation to create fun and unforgettable river experiences for everyone. Join us on the James in Scottsville, Virginia just south of Charlottesville. 

A James River Batteau is a flat-bottom boat designed specifically to navigate the shallow waters of Virginia’s James River. In the late 1700’s to mid 1800’s they brought trade up and down the river. The batteau era played a pivotal role in our state and national history.

Today they are the perfect boat to get you out on the river having fun.
