FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Our standard tour in Tampa is approximately 2 hours from the time you step aboard the “Paddle Pub” to the time we drop you off. If you are booking a special event, we may have the ability to increase the length of your tour per your request, depending on availability.
Here are a few suggestions for you to maximize your experience:
- Drinks/Ice: If bringing adult beverages, 36oz. of beer or 18oz. of wine per person should be plenty.
- Don’t forget to bring some water, we do have a canopy to keep you shaded, but it can still get warm out on the water!
- Music: The “Paddle Pub” sound system can be run by your phone. We have some great playlists, but we know every group has their own favorites.
- Sunscreen: Florida is named the sunshine state for a reason! Our collapsible canopy blocks a lot of rays, but it’s still best to lather up!
- Snacks: Bring aboard anything your group would like to munch on.
- Clothing/Footwear: When selecting your outfit, make sure to take into consideration both time of year and conditions on the water. Also, I know we Floridians like to wear flip-flops, but you may want to consider wearing a close-toed shoe for pedaling.
We can’t wait to have you aboard! Whether you are booking the entire CycleBoat or booking by the seat, just follow these 3 steps to sign up for your Paddle Pub CycleBoat experience:

YES! We will work with you to customize your ride aboard the “Paddle Pub” to make sure you and your guests have an experience you’ll never forget!

- Company Events and Team Building
- Bachelor Party
- Conventions
- Family Reunion or Class Reunion
Not at all! Our riders always comment on how surprisingly EASY the CycleBoat is to pedal, especially compared to the Pedal Trolley’s on the street! There are no hills on the waterways in Florida and we can raise and lower the paddlewheel to increase or decrease resistance. We also have a motor; just in case your pedaling turns into dancing by the end of the cruise! 😉
Tampa: We will pick up and drop off at the Tampa Convention Center Marina near the Sail Pavilion. You can’t miss our bright green paddlewheel! Public parking is available in several nearby lots.
- Tampa Convention Center Garage
- Under the Selmon Expressway
- If you are feeling lucky, try the roundabout by the Sail Pavilion.
- Pam Iorio Parking Garage
In Tampa, due to 2 hour cruise length, we have a designated 15-20 minute HALFWAY STOP for: Bathrooms, Food, and Beverage. We typically stop at the docks near Armature Works and Ulele or Rick’s on the River. (Although these docks are available 99% of the time, we cannot guarantee your halfway stop in the event of circumstances outside of our control.)
16. Our CycleBoats have 10 pedal stations seated around a central bar and a large bench seat for non-pedalers or those who would like a break from pedaling. There is also plenty of room to stand up and walk around.
Absolutely! The “Paddle Pub” is a BYOB experience, meaning we will not be providing any beverages, but you are welcome to bring your own! We will provide souvenir cups to transfer over any drinks from glass containers.

Absolutely, bring whatever you’d like!
We will not provide food and beverages but you are permitted to bring aboard drinks and food of your liking. Many of our boats will be docked at locations that provide food and beverage services.
You bet there is! If you want to stretch your legs for a few minutes, feel free to stand up and walk around the deck. Just don’t let your friends see you take your feet off the pedals!
In Tampa, sightings are not incredibly frequent but we always have our eyes open for them.
Depends on the tour.

As few as 6 can pedal the “Paddle Pub” but we prefer to cruise with 8 or more. We will contact you if there are less than 8 seats filled for your time slot. If we have to cancel due to a shortage of passengers we will refund your payment if we are unable to reschedule your tour. When scheduling with us, check our live availability, and if possible, book a tour that already has some seats taken to avoid running into this scenario. Keep in mind that your party does not necessarily need to have 8 people in it, as you could be sharing the boat with another group during a public cruise.
Yes! Each Paddle Pub CycleBoat will be managed and operated by a United States Coast Guard Licensed Master Captain as well as a 1st Mate!
The “Paddle Pub” pedals rain or shine thanks to a protective canopy that covers the boat. In the case of extreme weather including thunder, lightning or high winds (over 20mph), the captain has the authority to cancel the tour if the weather is still severe after our standard 30 minute delay and issue vouchers for a tour when the weather is more cooperative. Your safety is our top priority.
No, but we do have a designated halfway stops at participating restaurants where you will have the ability to exit the “Paddle Pub” for bathroom needs as well as to refresh your beverages.

- All sales are final. Any cancellations made more than 7 days in advance will be entitled to a voucher for a future tour. Any cancellations made within 7 days of the scheduled tour will not be entitled to a voucher or refund. In the event that inclement weather causes the cancellation of your tour, each passenger will be provided a rain check for a future cruise.
- In the event of unforeseen circumstances such as hurricanes, pandemics, waterway restrictions, etc., vouchers and refunds will be determined at the companies exclusive discretion.
Again, we thank you for your support and look forward to providing you with an incredible on the water experience!
While our service is here to provide you with a fun filled time, your safety is our number one priority.
