Unfortunately, we cannot hold the boat. Every cruise has a stated departure time and you are able to board the boat up to 30 minutes in advance of our departure time. All of our cruises must leave at their scheduled departure time. We urge you to arrive early and to leave in plenty of time for traffic and parking. The Central Florida area can get very congested, and there is occasional construction traffic. If you miss the boat for any reason, there are no refunds or rescheduling, so please don't miss the boat.

In your booking email, you should receive a 1402 Lakeshore Blvd St. Cloud, FL 34769 address that will take you to the boat ramp restroom building. To the left of that building, there is parking available. If that parking lot is full, refer to the picture diagram below for more parking areas and options.

The Riverboat will be docked left of the boat ramp near the water which is behind the restrooms, follow the walkway and you will see it. Boarding starts 1 hour before cruise departure time.

Yes! We have a ramp that you can use to get in and out of the boat safely. Our indoor main deck is wheel chair accessible. At this time the upper open deck is only accessible by stairs.

Yes, unless you book a private charter. Public cruises have anywhere from 20-80 people on board. If you are looking to host a private celebration please contact us about renting one of our boats.

Yes! Children of all ages are welcome aboard. Children 2 and under are free on select cruises. Not all cruises are free for children, please see cruise description for pricing. They will not need to wear a life jacket while on board.

No! We have drinks, alcohol, and snacks for sale on board at the bar. Due to our liquor license outside food and beverages are prohibited for liability reasons. Anyone bringing a cooler will have to take it back to their vehicle before boarding. Celebratory cakes and desserts are also not allowed on public cruises.

Yes! But for private charters only. We can work with you to get the boat decorated for whatever occasion you'd like. This includes birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and more! There are some rules about decorations so please contact us to discuss your specific needs.

Unfortunately, due to insurance reasons, we are not allowed to have animals on the vessel, even if they are certified service animals. We are sorry in advance for this inconvenience.

Cruises depart rain or shine. For most cruises, we can still depart safely in light rain, but if thunderstorms are near, we will likely attempt to wait a few minutes for them to pass or cancel that day's cruise. However, we are in the tropics, so occasionally heavy rain or storms can appear without much or no warning, and in that case, we will do our best to contact you promptly using the contact information provided during your ticket purchase. We believe you can have a great time whether it rains or shines, so our trips still depart in light rain. The captain will only cancel the tour when there are prolonged conditions that make the trip unsafe. Please remember that an afternoon or evening thunder and lightning storm is absolutely normal every day of the summer in Florida. They usually pass within 30–60 minutes. We will monitor the weather closely to see if that day’s regular storm is passing or if we need to cancel. If the captain cancels the cruise, you will be given the option to rebook for another trip or receive a refund. The captain has the right to cancel the cruise at any time, even with no notice, to keep people safe. There is a 72-hour cancellation and rebooking policy. You may reschedule or rebook your cruise if you let us know 72 hours prior to the trip. If you call 2 hours prior to the trip and say it's raining here and we want to reschedule or cancel, you will not be allowed unless the captain cancels the trip. There are many times when it is raining at your house but not at the lake where the boat is. Safety comes first with us, and we will never put you in harm's way. The captain doesn't want to go out on stormy days either, so no worries. Don't always trust the weather apps! Feel free to call us and ask about our weather forecast. Florida has a sub-tropical climate; if tour companies cancelled every time it rained, there would be no tour companies left in business. Please consider this when booking, and consider similar tourism businesses like theme parks, airlines, etc. They sometimes have to wait for weather, but like everywhere, weather is beyond the control of the company, and refunds are not given due to weather unless the captain cancels the trip. We do our best to run our cruises as promised, but there are times when we have to delay them. Here is what to expect if there is inclement weather when you arrive for your tour: We will wait 15 minutes past a lightning strike within 10 miles. Cruises may be delayed past their initial start time. Please be prepared to wait. Many people have driven a long way or have flights home, so we will wait for the weather to clear and start the cruise when it is safe to do so.
