What Makes Us Absolutely Epic?
Here’s the part most people don’t expect: there’s a real paddle wheel churning away behind you, and your legs help turn it. About a dozen seats have pedals. The rest are for whoever would rather hold their drink and supervise. Nobody has to be a hero either way, since a motor keeps things moving and your captain handles the steering and the docking. No boating experience, no license, no pressure.
This is the only paddle wheel party boat on the Oakland Estuary. Ninety minutes of it, with a bar in the middle and your favorite people around it, is not something you can do anywhere else out here.
Make It Your Kind of Party
Pack your cooler with beer, wine, cider, or canned cocktails, and bring whatever snacks keep everyone going. Wear the sash. Bring the ridiculous hats. Hand someone the good camera.
Book a public tour and you’ll share the boat with a few new friends you haven’t met yet. Book a private charter and the whole thing is yours, right down to a quick stop at Jack London Square when time allows. Either way, this is YOUR floating celebration, customized exactly how you like it.
Where the Magic Happens: Marina Village Yacht Harbor, Alameda
We set sail from the gorgeous Marina Village Yacht Harbor in Alameda, where every adventure begins with that “Holy cow, we’re actually doing this!” moment. Our captain-navigators know these waters like the back of their hands and can’t wait to show you the hidden gems of the Estuary.
Then the good part starts. Your favorite people crowded around one bar top, everybody pedaling, nobody in a hurry, the skyline sliding by behind you. It’s the rare group outing where no one is checking their watch and everyone ends up in the photos.
Why You’ll Fall in Love With the Oakland Estuary
While you’re pedaling through the protected waters of the Estuary, you’ll discover we’re not just about the destination. We’re about the milestone birthday where everyone actually showed up. The bachelorette party that never needed a plan. The team outing people were still bringing up months later.
And the light out here is ridiculous. Open water, the skyline behind you, your whole group already laughing at something. If there is one perfect photo in your crew, this is where you’ll finally get it.
