If you’re ready for a day on the water that is somehow exhilarating and relaxing all at the same time, then boy do I have the destination for you. It’s time to climb aboard the Smoky Mountain Jet Boat.

Located in Sevierville, Tennessee here on the French Broad River, Smoky Mountain Jet Boat is the vision of Chase Young. He grew up on the river, and wanted to bring the beauty of this stretch of water to one and all. The fun gets going here on shore as you get geared up with your life vest and headset and meet your Coast Guard certified captain. Then, it’s time for this jet boat to take off.

These boats are quiet, nimble, and designed to go places that normal watercraft just can’t navigate. They offer an unprecedented experience on the river. And while there is plenty of excitement built in, this tour isn’t designed for adrenaline junkies.

The entire experience is designed to showcase the natural beauty that has brought people to this valley for centuries. You’ll see wildlife like otters and bald eagles, meander past islands and over sparkling shallows, and learn some great history from your expert captain.

Today’s tour is taking us to Seven Islands State Birding Park – home to over 200 species of birds. The scenery is spectacular; and to experience it from the water is simply wonderful. I love any opportunity to be out on a boat. And with this tour it’s a whole new way to feel that wind in your face as you cruise one of the oldest rivers on planet earth.

Smoky Mountain Jet Boat offers a variety of tours on the river. Whether you’re taking in the beauty of nature at Seven Islands, or marveling at human kind’s engineering prowess at the base of the Douglas Dam, there is always something new and interesting happening along this stretch of the French Broad River. And I can’t think of a better outfit to guide that custom experience than the amazing crew of Smoky Mountain Jet Boat.
