It was only this year (2024), did I realize that Williamsburg has a haunted river cruise. It departs at the James City County Marina, which I also did not know existed. It's a one hour haunted river tour on a clean 28 passenger pontoon boat, which has a bathroom on board. Our tour guide (Carter?) was a great storyteller, which is crucial when it comes to haunted tours. He brought the macabre stories back to life & his humor added to my enjoyment, without being cheesy or overly peppy. It was a nice hour on the James River while we listened to ghostly & historical tales (many I had not heard). While it was not scary (honestly, what haunted tours ever are?) , it was very entertaining & peaceful and rather nice to cruise the river at night. It was great that they tastefully decorate the boat, setting the tone & mood for a hauntingly good evening! While you are not permitted to take video of the tour itself, you are encouraged to take as many photos as you wish. I would say that this is one of the best ghost tours I've been on in a long time. Also the only haunted tour I ever experienced on a boat, which was cool! Meet at the marina 15 minutes prior to the tour, they will have a sign. There is a bathroom at or near the Billsburg Brewery which is directly across from the marina. Parking can be challenging if there's an event at the brewery. Tours can be canceled due to inclement weather or not enough participants.
