Can I leave a tip for the crew?
If you enjoy your ride, tip your guide! Suggested gratuity is $5-10 per passenger or 15% for full boat rental.
Does BrewBoat CLE do private parties?
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.
Do you provide the driver?
Our Self Captained Duffy Boats do not include a Captain. Our traditional BrewBoats both Cycle and Lite do include a Captain and Crew
Are the cycleboats difficult to pedal?*
Not at all. There are no hills to go up out on the water, and we can raise or lower the paddle wheel to reduce or increase resistance. *Pedaling not required
How long are the cruises?
Regular cruises run approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes from beginning to end, including a quick safety spiel before we embark.
Is there a bathroom on board?
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.
Do I need to bring a cooler or ice?
Nope. The BrewBoats have large coolers built right into the bar that come fully stocked with ice for your cruise.
Do you provide any food or beverages?
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.
Can I drink aboard BrewBoat CLE?
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).
Where do we board?
For the BrewBoat and BrewBoat Lite: We’ll pick up you (and your group) at our dock at the Flats East Bank For all Self Captained Duffy Boat Rentals: We launch from Oasis Marinas at North Coast Harbor 1020 E. 9th Street, Cleveland, OH 44114
