Description

Step aboard a floating tiki bar and set sail on a 90-minute escape along the Cumberland River. With your favorite drinks in hand and the gentle current beneath you, this cruise offers the perfect retreat from the bustle of Broadway. Whether you are celebrating with a group of friends, planning a unique date night, or simply looking for a fresh way to experience Music City from the water, this laid-back adventure delivers unforgettable moments on the river.

Your group of up to six boards a custom-built tiki boat outfitted with a thatched roof, bamboo décor, and full island-inspired vibes. A U.S. Coast Guard-certified captain navigates every mile of the Cumberland, so your only job is to relax, sip, and enjoy the ride. This is a fully BYOB experience. Bring your favorite beverages pre-chilled and the onboard cooler stocked with ice handles the rest for the entire cruise.

A premium Bluetooth sound system hands the playlist to you. Queue up your favorites, pour a round, and let the river do the heavy lifting. The Cumberland winds past Nashville's historic riverfront, giving you a perspective on Music City that most visitors never experience. The cruise moves at a leisurely pace, leaving plenty of time to snap photos and soak in the scenery under afternoon sunshine or the golden glow of a sunset.

Every departure is a private booking, so there are no shared tours and no strangers crowding the deck. Just your crew and the open water. Groups fit comfortably, the captain handles all the details, and the only agenda is a great time on the river. For 90 minutes on the water, there is simply nothing else like it in Nashville.

Looking for a lake setting? The Old Hickory Lake location offers the same great experience with wide-open water views.
