A big reason to book a private cruise, we will wait… but it eats into your time. Please consider booking a private charter, the benefit of booking the whole boat as a private allows us to wait for your group if you are running late.
The price includes a ticket aboard Alabama’s first and only cycleboat, a FREE souvenir cup, a 90 minute cruise on the Alabama River with a Master Captain & First Mate to steer the party in the right direction.
YES, we have a restroom, so there is no need to slow the party rolling down the river.
YES, BYOB, BYOF, we have coolers so Bring Your Own Beverage (ice, beer, wine and non-alcohol drinks) and use our FREE Souvenir cup. Please no glass bottles or containers. Get wine in a box or keep the bottle in a protective sleeve so that we do not have any broken glass possibilities on the vessel. There are several places downtown like Chris’ Hotdogs, SaZa’s and Common Bond Brewery with easy to-go food and drinks. No cake or rice(too messy) Cupcakes are ok. The bigger mess you and your party make the more you need to tip.
We have a motor that keeps the party going, even when your party is dancing on the bow.
BYOB, snacks, valid ID, cruise confirmation, sunscreen (even though the boat is covered the bow of the boat has a convertible top). Dress for comfort outside, it can be a little windier or cooler when the sun goes down, so we do recommend an extra layer especially for evening cruises. Avoid heeled shoes and long, flowy garments, as they could get caught in the cycling pedal. Sunglasses and hats are great but you will be seated under a large canopy shielding direct sun and rain. Bring a cooler if you want, however, we are not providing ice. You can bring ice to put in the coolers we provide or you can bring a small cooler with your own beverages.
