About The BrewBoat(s)
An incredibly unique (and admittedly awesome) experience that’s perfect for birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, wedding parties, date-nights, corporate team-building and more, the BrewBoat fleet ferries up to 12, 14 or 16 guests at a time aboard our 1-hour 40-minute party cruises on the Cuyahoga River through the heart of Cleveland, Ohio.
The Original
BrewBoat I & II
Often imitated, but never ever duplicated. Our original pedal-powered cycleboats seat up to 14 or 16 guests (10 at pedal stations surrounding our central bar, and the rest on comfortable bench seats at the bow of the boat) for the most unique exBEERience on the water. Featuring built-in coolers fully stocked with ice, powerful JBL Bluetooth soundsystems, plenty of room to move around and our friendly Brew Crew to handle everything you need… you’ll drink, pedal and float your way to the best day of the summer.
The Party Pontoons
BrewBoat III & IV
Our BrewBoat Lite bar boats offer the same great time with just a little less cardio. These pedal-free party boats seat up to 12 guests, perfect for smaller groups and those looking to relax. Although, who are we kidding…. nobody pedals the other ones anyway. We’ve replaced the bike seats with comfy bar stools, but BrewBoat III & IV still offer the same other amenities as their bigger sisters, to make sure your cruise is rockin’ from the moment we leave dock.
New This Summer!
Duffy Boat Rentals
Welcome to your favorite new boating experience! No emissions, no noise and all FUN! Our brand-new 2023 Electric Duffy Boats are available for rent. (Looking for a captain? Check out our other boats) Each boat fits up to 12 passengers. Each rental comes with a cooler on board, a Bluetooth sound system, and a full electric charge! A short nautical training sesh before you depart is required. Don’t worry, we will guide you through the whole process!
What Should I Bring on a BrewBoat Cruise?
All of the BrewBoats come equipped with a Bluetooth stereo system that can connect to your phone, coolers fully-stocked with ice and an experienced captain to safely navigate the waters and occasionally make some terrible jokes.
Additionally, all our boats are US Coast Guard Certified passenger vessels, which means we carry all necessary safety and emergency equipment, and our Brew Crew is trained to handle all emergencies.
Here are some suggestions for what you can bring, to make the most of your experience:
- Around 3 or 4 drinks per person. There’s no bathroom on board, so try not to drink more than your bladder can hold! We can make an emergency stop if needed.
- An awesome playlist. We’ve got great tunes, but you know what your group likes better. No Nickelback.
- Sunscreen. You will need sunscreen. Seriously. Get the good stuff.
- Weather-appropriate clothes. We’re a summer attraction, but it’s Cleveland, so keep an eye on the forecast anyway and dress accordingly.
- Munchies. Pizzas, bags of chips, ants-on-a-log, decadent charcuterie, birthday cakes … all are welcome.
- Your awesome attitude and beautiful face. In case no one said anything, you really do look great today.
