Booking & Pricing

What does it cost?

$380 for 2 hours, any day of the week. That's the whole boat for up to 8 guests, with no weekend surcharge. For a group of eight, that's about $50 a person.

Do I need a driver, and what does it cost?

You can add a driver for $25 per hour, paid directly to them on the day of your cruise via cash, Venmo, or Cash App. No boating experience is needed to book either way. When you book, there's a question where you can request a driver; just select it there.

Does the driver count toward the 8-guest maximum?

No. Your driver doesn't count as one of your 8 guests, unless someone from your own party is the one operating the boat.

On the Boat

How big is the boat, and how many people fit?

The boat is 18 feet, with comfortable lounge seating for up to 8 guests.

Is there music on board?

Yes. There's a built-in Bluetooth speaker, so anyone in your group can be the DJ. Bring your playlist.

Can we bring our own food and drinks?

Absolutely, that's the whole idea. Bring your own food and beverages and make the day yours. Please drink responsibly; overly intoxicated or disruptive behavior ends the cruise without a refund.

Is smoking allowed?

No smoking of any kind is permitted aboard, including cigars and hookah.

Can we bring a pet?

Yes, all pets are welcome. Just note that any pet over 25 lbs counts as one of your 8 passengers.

Can we go swimming?

No. Swimming is not allowed during the cruise, and swimming in the Inner Harbor is prohibited by law.

What if someone needs a restroom?

Restrooms are available inside the marina building. We recommend everyone visits just before departure.

Policies & Safety

Can I reschedule or cancel?

Yes. With a rain check added at booking, you can cancel or reschedule for any reason — even last-minute — for a full refund or credit. Without one, our standard terms apply: a full refund if you cancel at least 48 hours before your cruise; within 48 hours, bookings are non-refundable, and weekday bookings can't be moved to weekend time slots.

What happens in bad weather?

If we cancel for unsafe conditions, you choose a free reschedule or a full refund. We cruise happily in light rain; only genuinely unsafe weather pauses a trip. Our weather promise →

Do you provide life jackets?

Yes, for all ages. By law, children 13 and under must wear a life jacket at all times on the water.
