Paddle Pub Clearwater
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you board in Clearwater.
What is the Paddle Pub?
Picture this: a 20-person dance party that floats and has a motor. We cruise through the dolphin filled waters of Clearwater bay to a sandy island. Here we hop off the boat for a swim and desolate island dance-off. For sunset, we catch some good vibes and amazing views. Paddle Pub is essentially BYOB paradise on the water with a bathroom and bluetooth.

Yes, guests are welcome to BYOB any food and drinks they like. We just ask, please no glass, since everyone is barefoot.
Isn’t it hard to pedal?
The waters are very calm so it is not difficult to pedal. We do have a motor that we use throughout the trip, so pedaling is not even necessary.
Can we get out and swim during the tour?
Oh Ya! With some of the best water and beaches in the world, we stop at either an Island or a Sandbar. We throw the floats in, crank the music up, and it turns into a pool party!
Is there a weight limit for riders?
No, there is no weight limit. However, due to the nature of the cycling stations on the vessel, passengers over 300 pounds will not be permitted on the pedaling stations. All passengers are welcome to enjoy the various lounge areas onboard.
Is there a dress code? What should I wear?
Think comfortable! We’re sure you look great in that sports blazer or high heels, but this isn’t the trip for those. Bathing suits, beach wear, tank tops, you name it. That’s more our style.

The sound system is Bluetooth so bring your favorite playlists.
Who drives the Paddle Pub?
We always have a USCG licensed captain on board to show you a fun & safe time out on the waterway
Can I smoke on board?
Smoking cigarettes is against our policy, but anything electronic is allowed on private tours. If it requires a lighter, it’s a no-go.
What if it rains? Refund policy?
We operate rain or shine! This is Florida so the weather is super unpredictable. If it is going to be very nasty or unsafe out, we cancel and give a full refund. We treat people how we want our families to be treated. Trust us on weather calls, we’re basically mermaids and want to be in the water but we will not risk anyone’s safety to go out. Full refund if you cancel at least 72 hours before your trip; no refund after that.
4 Paddle Pub Pro Tips
-
Get to the dock about fifteen minutes before your cruise — boarding a full boat takes a few minutes, and it keeps your time on the water for the water.
-
Have everyone sign their waiver before you set off, so your group walks straight on instead of filling forms in at the dock.
-
Bring a layer you can throw on. It runs cooler out on the water than it does on shore, and breezier once the sun starts dropping.
-
Wear flat, non-slip shoes for boarding, and don't skip the sunscreen — out there the sun comes off the water as well as down from the sky.
