Frequently Asked Questions

Paddle Pub is the ultimate floating party for you and your friends. The Paddle Pub is a 26-passenger pedal-powered party machine and comes with a USCG-certified master captain at the helm. We have an onboard motor, but if pedaling is your jam then be sure to bring a minimum of five passengers. So come & join us on the beautiful blue waters and soak up the spectacular views 🌅. You can’t miss our paddle wheel!

Our most updated availability can be seen by clicking Book Now. Online booking closes 24hrs before tour time but feel free to give us a call or shoot us a text with same-day requests.

All information will be given in your confirmation email. Look for the boat with the paddle wheel! All tours are by reservation only.

Please arrive at least 30 minutes before your reservation at our dock to allow time for check-in procedures, any outstanding paperwork, and the orientation. Your rental period will begin promptly at your scheduled start time and you will return by the scheduled end time.

Please allow extra time to park. The street parking near the dock is public parking that we do not control, so a space is never guaranteed and can be very difficult to find. Give yourself a head start on the 30 minutes if you can — there is paid parking at the hotel when the street is full.

The maximum number of passengers per trip is always 26. If you have a smaller party, book a public tour for individual tickets. There is no minimum for private tours.

Our standard cruises are 1 hour 45 minutes. Our Sunset Cruise runs 2 hours. Please call to inquire about additional time.

If the schedule, captain, & weather permitting. You can discuss further extending your trip while underway. We can charge the card on file used to make the original reservation.

Feel free to bring your little ones. Children under the age of 13 will need to wear a life jacket at all times while on board, per United States Coast Guard rules — we provide the life jackets.

Yes! We have a bathroom onboard.

Paddle Pub CDA offers optional Trip Insurance at checkout. With Trip Insurance, you can cancel for any reason up to 7 days before your tour for a full refund. Without Trip Insurance, there are no refunds for any reason.

Rescheduling requires at least 7 days’ notice. Call us before that deadline and we’ll do our best to move you to another date. Requests made inside the 7-day window are granted at our discretion and are not guaranteed.

YES! But please follow the rules, meaning no glass, even if it stays in the cooler. All alcohol is BYOB and alcoholic beverages must remain onboard at all times. Bring your own ice and cooler, and feel free to bring food as well! All passengers under the age of 21 will receive an “X” on each hand indicating that they cannot drink onboard. Riders under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian present and a liability waiver must be signed by their guardian. There is no minimum age to ride the Paddle Pub.

We have a motor onboard so no pedaling is required! Though pedaling does make it more fun!

Yes. The captain will instruct you where our safe spots are to hop out and take a dip. There is lots of boat traffic and strong tidal changes. Please listen to their safety instructions when it is a suitable time to get in.

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.

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.

We always have a USCG licensed captain on board to show you a fun & safe time out on the waterway

Smoking cigarettes is against our policy, but anything electronic is allowed on private tours. If it requires a lighter, it’s a no-go.

Paddle Pub operates rain or shine. If it’s going to rain, we recommend bringing rain jackets and/or ponchos. It’s still a lot of fun – think of it as an adventure. We only cancel tours if there are unsafe conditions. If we cancel due to a Severe Weather Warning issued by the National Weather Service, you’ll receive a credit to reschedule for a future date.

Our captain has the final say on safety. We reserve the right to refuse boarding to any guest who is intoxicated or disorderly, and to end a tour early if behavior on board becomes unsafe or disruptive to other guests or the crew.

In either case no refund or credit is given, so please pace yourselves and drink responsibly — it keeps the trip fun for everyone on board.
