SPEND A DAY ON THE WATER IN DOWNTOWN MILWAUKEE!##

Our self-captained pontoon boat rentals are a great way to experience Milwaukee from the water and at your own pace.

PONTOON RENTAL INFORMATION:##

Our pontoon boat rentals provide a unique opportunity for a self-guided tour of downtown Milwaukee’s waterways, landmarks, and skyline. Each 21-foot pontoon boat holds up to 10 people, including your driver, and can be rented for a half day (4 hours) or full day (9 hours).

Payment is made in full at the time of booking and is nonrefundable. Waivers must be signed by all guests prior to boarding and can be completed online in advance to save time on the day of your rental. All guests, regardless of whether they have already signed the waiver, must check-in with our dock staff upon arriving for their rental.

Food and drinks may be brought onboard. Guests are responsible for taking all trash with them after their cruise; trash may not be left or disposed of in Pere Marquette Park.
