Paddle Pub is the ultimate floating party for you and your friends. The Paddle Pub is a 20-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!

All tours begin and end at Southwind Marina, 10121 Sinton Dr, Pensacola, FL 32507. Free street parking is available on a first come first serve basis. We also recommend taking ubers when possible.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your reservation at our dock to allow time for check-in procedures, any outstanding paperwork, and the orientation on the boat. Your rental period will begin promptly at your scheduled start time. NOTE: Parking can be very difficult to find as the street parking is public parking that we do not control. However, there is paid parking at the hotel.

The maximum number of passengers per trip is always 20. If you have a smaller party, book a public tour for individual tickets. There is no minimum for private tours.

Our cruises are 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.

Call and ask!

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, in which case you will receive a credit or a refund. Weather calls are completely up to our USCG Licensed Captain on the day of departure. The decision to run a tour or not can be made as late as 2 hours before the scheduled start time, due to the unpredictable nature of Florida weather.

Yes, but all infants must wear a USCG-approved life vest for the entire tour. Parents must bring their own life vest for their small infants. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) does not differentiate between adults, children, and infants; every single human body on board counts as one toward the total capacity limit allowed on our boat.
