Frequently Asked Questions

We create unique outdoor memorable experiences that often become tradition! Get together with friends and family, birthday celebrations, bachelor/bachelorette parties, team builders, company outings, date nights, retirement parties, themed nights out – the possibilities are endless! The price includes a two hour rental, and the Paddle Pub Experience. You’ll meet your US Coast Guard Licensed Captain, and your party host who will do everything in their power to ensure your party has the time of their lives! Feel free to save a few bucks and bring your own beverages. We’ll have coolers filled with ice to keep your drinks cold, and a clean restroom aboard for when the drinks pile up! There are 12 pedaling stations that power the huge paddle wheel in the back of the boat which we will use to make our way into the bay. Your host will get some music and party games going if you’d like! We might even have some little surprises along the way! We also have a front lounge/dancing area, a bumping sound system to sync up your tunes, and some party lights should you Paddle Pub at night! It will be a memory or in some cases a partial memory, but either way, your host will be sure to snap some great pics to last a lifetime!!!

Pedaling is not required and it represents a small part of the Paddle Pub experience! We have a lounge/dance area in addition to the pedal bar area. The Pedaling spots are there for leisurely fun and it’s pretty neat to move the boat all together! We keep it light and fun and it’s entirely your choice.

Boarding locations vary by location. We’ll send whomever reserved the event pick-up info via text and email a few days before your event which can easily be forwarded to the party. While we usually board at the same spot, unforeseen circumstances may require an alternative nearby. We prioritize minimizing confusion and maximizing fun!

We recommend arriving 10 minutes prior to departure. Arriving earlier can leave you waiting in the sun, as we are unable to board guests until our internal procedures are complete. Arriving 10 minutes before departure allows us to check you in smoothly and get you on board comfortably.

Any group size works! We can accommodate as few as 2 and up to 26 guests. We offer both public and private options to ensure reasonable price points for different party sizes. Please note, we require a minimum of 8 guests total to set sail.
