How It Works

A Bar Hop By Water

Most pub crawls mean walking between bars or piling into a bus. This one is different. We depart Regatta Pointe Marina and cruise the Manatee River to four waterfront bars. We pull up to the dock, your group goes in, orders drinks, and gets back on the boat when they are ready to move on.

You set the pace. We handle the navigation. No designated driver. No parking. No bar-to-bar logistics. Just four bars, one boat, and four hours on the river with your crew.

Minimum 20 guests required. BYOB is welcome on the boat between stops. Once you step off the boat at each bar, you are on their property and by their rules. IDs are checked at boarding. No exceptions.
