Frequently asked questions

It's a floating party barge. Who wouldn't have questions?

BrewBoat CLE is Ohio’s first and only fleet of pedal-powered (and now also non-pedal-powered) party boats!* Both the original BrewBoat CLE and BrewBoat II are 31-foot-long catamarans (hey, that’s fun to say … catamaran) propelled through the water by a large rear paddlewheel that’s powered by the pedaling of our riders! Ten guests work the gears at pedal stations surrounding a central mahogany bar and while the rest relax up front on our luxurious bench seating as we embark on daily cruises on the waters of the Cuyahoga River through Downtown Cleveland and beyond. Brewboat III & IV (or BrewBoat Lite) are a similar concept on a smaller scale, accomodating groups of up to 10 guests and ditching the pedals in favor of pub stools. *Pedaling not required
Pricing varies based on day of week, group size, and boat selection. Please click book now and select the date, boat, and group size for an accurate price quote.
The Original BrewBoats (the cycleboat version) can safely accommodate up to 16 passengers per cruise. Seating on these boats includes 10 pedal stations surrounding the central bar and additional bench seating for non-pedalers. The new BrewBoat Lite boats can accommodate up to 12 guests at a time.
Go to our booking page and choose either an original BrewBoat cruise or a BrewBoat Lite cruise Select your date/time and checkout with a credit card using our 2048-bit encrypted payment platform. Read and electronically sign your waiver.
Of course! We don’t call it the BrewBoat for nothing. We suggest passengers bring about three or four cans (beer, cider, seltzer, etc.) per person. You could also bring a 6-pack of beer or full bottle of wine to share between two people. However, no liquor is allowed on board. We recommend canned beer, as anything in a glass container will need to be transferred to our super-classy plastic cups (which we will provide) or wrapped in a wicked-cool BrewBoat koozie ($1).
With the exception of a few specialty tours, the BrewBoat is strictly BYOB and BYOFood. Save yourself time by purchasing your drinks and snacks directly from Channel Park Marina’s Sea Store when you arrive. The Sea Store stocks most major domestic beers and keeps their coolers at a frosty 30°. For more on what you can/should bring, check out the aptly named “What You Should Bring on a BrewBoat Cruise?” section of the About Us page.
Nope. The BrewBoats have large coolers built right into the bar that come fully stocked with ice for your cruise.
Ah, the golden question! The BrewBoats do not have a bathroom on board, so please plan accordingly! Based on our own extensive research, we’ve refined our route time to a length that works for almost every bladder, and we make sure to remind our guests to go before the cruise at the marina.
Regular cruises run approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes from beginning to end, including a quick safety spiel before we embark.
There is NO Pedaling required on any of our boats!
All ages are permitted to ride on the Duffy Boat rentals. Ages 6 and older are permitted to ride on all BrewBoat boats.
Our Self Captained Duffy Boats do not include a Captain. Our traditional BrewBoats both Cycle and Lite do include a Captain and Crew
Do them? We specialize in them! We take pride in tailoring every private, full boat rental to your party’s specific wants and needs. Whether you’re bringing your bachelorette party or looking for a unique brand of corporate team-building, be sure to let us know how we can make your cruise special in the comments/requests section during checkout.
If you enjoy your ride, tip your guide! Suggested gratuity is $5-10 per passenger or 15% for full boat rental.
Bookings canceled 14 days prior to your cruise will be refunded minus a $50 cancellation fee. Cancellations less than 14 days from your scheduled cruise are non-refundable. Likewise, no-shows will not receive any credits or refunds. If your tour is canceled due to inclement weather, we will provide you with a full refund. Optional cancellation insurance is provided for $30 which allows for a 72 hour cancelation before the tour.
The BrewBoat will usually sail in light rain, thanks to a collapsible canopy that covers the entire deck. In the case of extreme weather (if thunder, lightning or heavy winds are present) the captain reserves the right to delay or cancel the cruise. If your cruise is canceled, we will attempt to reschedule you for an alternate date/time or provide you with a full refund.
