The boat ride was so much fun. The crew had everyone interacting with each other with games and called out all the people celebrating special events

The pontoon saloon is a great time. The crew is friendly and helpful, as they quickly iced down our beer and wine. The are games that help make sure all the passengers interact and have fun. Good music and some Nice Nashville views. I will do the cruise again when I'm in Nashville again.

Did the mimosa cruise. Had a blast but the staff member that greeted us a check in was a massive jerk and was rude to our bride to be that we were there to celebrate. Almost ruined the experience for us but the boat crew was amazing!

We ended up with 23 people and the boat was perfectly situated to fit all of us with room to spare. I highly recommend the shuttle service for a large groups. The shuttle seats 25 and it just extends the party that much longer. They picked us up in the gulch and took us to the launch site which has picnic tables and an umbrellas so you can relax while you wait. The service and music was second to none. We opted to bring our own beverages to save money and it wasn't a problem at all. Any glass you bring will be kept behind the bar and served in cups. There is no smoking on the boat but the captain was nice enough to stop at a dock right in front Broadway for a smoke break. It was such a nice place nobody even minded the delay. It was the best part of a 4-day 50th birthday party weekend by far.

Drew was an amazing DJ, bartender, social coordinator, and overall host. Sean was a great Captain. If you want a boring pontoon ride where you just sit back and enjoy the ride this is not for you. If you want to meet people from all over, play games, dance, and have free pictures taken by staff - this is your jam. I can’t say enough great things about the whole experience. Loved every second. Especially the poor man’s Jack Black. IYKYK. Please take the time to make this part of your Nashville’s experience.

Staff was excellent. Was a cold day on the river but we were busy enough with some drinking games that took our minds off of that. Met some cool people.
Not so much of a sight-seeing tour. We went south and came back up the river, not much to look at except for a few homeless camps but when we came back, it was perfect timing for some pics of the skyline.
Highly recommend, would have been really, really fun if the weather was better but that isn't on the company or the staff.

Hello, depending on the day of the week and how big your group is you sometimes can. Fridays and Saturdays fill in about 2 weeks out but week day and Sunday cruises fill up the week of. Thank you!

There’s a Titan v Vikings game the night we would like to book. Suggestions for parking??
Andrew O

Tons of available paid parking around the stadium and near broadway. You can then walk over the ped bridge right to our dock. Downtown Nashville is always very busy with events which makes parking a challenge. We always recommend uber/Lyft especially since you will likely be drinking:)
Looking forward to having you aboard!!

There are four of us looking at the Thursday afternoon cruise August 30th as we all enjoy the water and would love to see this side of Nashville. My husband and I drink, the other two do not but none of us want a crazy, drunk going on around us. Your thoughts??

Hello! Thursday’s and Sunday’s are great days, Saturday’s are typically more rowdy crowd and would recommended our evening cruise for the sunset!
Give us a call with any more questions!
Cheers

Are there bathrooms? And do you get in the river, or just ride the boat??

Yes, small bathroom, strange but crew does specify “only number1”. No swimming, truly it is a “booze” cruise with music and dancing!
