Sit back, have fun and relax on a boat! Experience beautiful views of downtown Cleveland cruising up the Cuyahoga River and see the city skyline from Lake Erie. If you are visiting Cleveland, what better way to tour the city than from the water.
Cleveland Boat Cruise runs a 26-foot fiberglass Formula Sun Sport named “Surge”. The boat is white with gold and blue trim with a Merc Cruiser engine and comfortably seats up to six passengers. On board are seven adults Type 1 U.S. Coast approved life jackets and two child Type 1 U.S. Coast Guard approved life jackets. “Surge” passed a U.S. Coast Guard safety check and is compliant with all state and federal regulations.
What should I bring on board a Cleveland Boat Cruise?
Besides a great attitude, bring your tunes! Surge has a Bluetooth stereo system that connects to your phone. Beer, wine and hard seltzers are permitted in cans. Glass bottles and hard alcohol is not permitted. Feel free to bring snacks and sandwiches on board. Coolers with ice are provided. There is no smoking or vaping allowed on the boat.
What should I wear? Summer fun clothes or even a bathing suit (you are on a boat!). Soft sole shoes, flip flops or tennis shoes recommended. Bring a hat and sunglasses and don’t forget to wear sunscreen!
Captain Ray tip: Take Dramamine or wear motion sickness ear patches if you are susceptible to getting seasick and hour before departure.
Is there a bathroom on board?
No, but there is a porta potty in the cuddy cabin. Captain Ray recommends going to the bathroom before leaving the dock.
