More Than Just A Boat

Float down the river with all the comforts of a 5-star establishment. We offer a variety of services and amenities to make your cruise an enjoyable experience. Our goal is to leave you so satisfied that you will cruise with us again and again.

Don’t need the whole boat?

We rent each deck individually to accommodate smaller gatherings and offer more affordable options. If you don’t have a boat load of guests but still love the location, we can find a space that works for you.
