Cycle Boat Tours
Party With Us On Rochesters Only BYOB Party Boat
The boat is in the water and ready to take you out! Our season runs until October
We are Rochesters only BYOB party boat which means you can bring your own alcohol. You are welcome to bring cans of beer, seltzer, hard lemonade and iced teas and canned cocktails like high noons. For the wine drinkers you can bring the juice boxes and small plastic bottles it comes in. You sit around a countertop which makes it easy to bring food, eat the food and store the food when you aren’t eating. Groups bring things like charcuterie boards, sub trays, pizzas and lots of homemade food. The tour is 100 minutes and you party on the boat. Tours start at $350 weekdays (monday-thursday) and $400 for weekends for up to 10 people. Each additional person goes up proportionally more $35/$40. Even if at the time of booking you have more than 10 people we encourage you to wait until the captain calls a few days before the tour to give us your final guest count because you may gain or lose people between booking and the time of the tour. 18 people is the maximum, in theory you could do it by yourself because it is motorized but the base rate covers up to 10 people so better to do with a group and bring down the cost per guest.
We provide the driver and the first mate works as your host/photographer/cleaner so you are expected to tip at the end.
Tours go on rain or shine, the awning keeps you dry. In the event of lightning which prevents us from going out, we just wait for the storm to pass and take you out later because we realize how hard it is to get people together for a day. The river is calm so guests who are not used to being on boats don’t have to worry about taking Dramamine or anything like that. We do not go out on the lake.
The Port of Rochester is a happening area filled with many different bars and restaurants to go to before or after your tour. We do not stop at bars during the tour because if you are paying for a boat and able to bring your own alcohol, why would you want to not be on the boat drinking your own.
Where Does The Pedal Boat Tour Take Us?
Tours begin and end at the Port of Rochester in Charlotte where you will find a ton of free parking. Please park near Bill Grays because that is where the public bathrooms are and where the boat will pick you up and drop you off on the riverside of the complex. We will go south on the river past Turning Point Park and you will get to see all the boats and there decorated sheds/tiki huts, the abandon Spirit of Rochester rusting away (it is not the fast ferry) all types of nature and birds. We go south to around where the zoo is before we turn around and head back.

Half the payment is due when you book and the other half is collected on the 14th day before your tour. Once you pay you will get a confirmation email that we want you to forward or copy and paste it to everyone coming so that you do not have to say all the important stuff over and over again.

One of the crew members will call you in the days before your tour to answer any questions you have
