I had a corporate group of 40 and we took a cruise from the Lock One Marina. Directions were clear, with plenty of parking. The tour was able to accommodate our request to see different parts of the river. The captain and historian were professional and informative. I would love to do a party cruise if I go back in the future. Would definitely recommend. read more

Yes, yes and yes! If you're in Nashville and looking for something fun to do in a group setting, this is perfect. Easy to book, very clear instructions on how to get there and where to park! Once on the bought, the party starts.....there are drinks, music, games, and tons of fun! Great for groups! Highly recommend if you're looking for an energetic way to spend a couple hours on the water. It gets you off of broadway for a different experience and on a warm summer day, being in that water definitely has a cooling effect. Don't skip this if you're looking for a fun time! read more

The Pontoon Saloon is a fun place and way to celebrate your birthday or bachelorette celebrations. Our bride found it on the Bach App. I highly recommend that you book the tour early for any public cruise to avoid it selling out or any confusion, but you can also book directly through them online. The online fee included entry & an onboard cooler with ice. You could bring your own beverages on the ship to enjoy during the 2 hour experience. The staff was friendly and fun and hosted games for us to make the cruise fun. They played a variety of music based on the crowd and encouraged tips for drinks & song requests. The host reminded me of a comedian but ensured we were having a good time and highlighted all birthdays, brides, and anniversaries. It was a vibe! The only hiccup was finding the place. It was not easy to find after being dropped off by the uber. The easiest path area was blocked due to preparation for July 4. We had to walk up stairs and across the bridge to a greenish elevator and take it down to the lower level and walk around the buildings (where the restrooms were) to get to the correct area where the boat was located. The instructions say arrive about 20 minutes early & I recommend that you arrive 20-35 minutes early, especially if you are directionally challenged or a slower walker. Overall, we enjoyed the experience. read more

We took the Water Taxi History Tour offered through Pontoon Saloon. It was fantastic. Very cool on the river which was a nice relief on a very hot and humid day. Jimbo was our tour guide, and provided lots of information. The tour was 2 hours. A restroom is on board, and they have drinks for purchase. No food though. I would recommend. read more

We had such a great time on the Pontoon Saloon! Probably one of the best things we have done in Nashville. Great vibes, good drinks, and just a ton of fun. Highly recommend the Pontoon Saloon! read more

The main thing that comes to my mind is A Time was Had! Me and my girls booked this excursion for my best friend's bachelorette weekend activity. Our host was awesome! He made sure my friend had a really good time! There were other folks celebrating monumental things like a birthday and another soon to be bride. The actual ride is about an hour and a half around the lake. I do want to say your Uber driver may not drop off at the exact location. As a result we did have to walk over to the Pontoon to ensure we made our selected reservation. The music was a vibe and the crowd was a whole vibe as well. I loved every moment of the experience. Above all my friend enjoyed having her moment to shine. I would suggest everyone who's booking something special like a bachelor/bachelorette/birthday to visit Pontoon Salon. I promise you won't regret it. read more

Visiting Nashville from Los Angeles, this was recommended as a must from friends. Must say It Was An Absolute Blast!!! We did a sunset cruise on Sunday 6/23/24. The captain & his mate NACHO LIBRE were the best. Funny as hell & the energy was easy to catch. It's right across the bridge to the main drag Broadway. Don't miss out on seeing Nashville from a different point of view, up & down the Cumberland river with a cold drink in your hand, good music & the people you must create a memory with read more

Where do I even begin......the most memorable part of any trip to TN happens on Victory Ave. You know what else you'd find on Victory Ave? Me. Me winning the flip cup game (and it wasn't even close!) The bathroom was convenient and I appreciate the heads up of no #2 on board. #IWasOnABoatThatDay read more

Went for a Bach & the boat ride was absolutely Amazingggg, Drew was a great host & Cody was a great captain. 10/10 recommend

I was a solo traveller to Nashville, and decided to book the Pontoon Saloon. I have to say, this was my favorite part of my whole trip! Our host KJ (and Captain Michael) were phenomenal - KJ made the trip so much fun with games and activities, and really encouraged socialization between all the groups onboard. I really could not recommend this experience more! read more

Our group had the best time on the Pontoon Saloon! Everyone working on the boat was so much fun & made the experience worthwhile. This is the perfect day activity for big groups. We were celebrating a bachelorette with 6 people. The boat had plenty of space for games & dancing. The check in process was easy and they gave excellent instructions to find the dock. Two recommendations: 1) be sure everyone has signed the waiver before arrival & 2) arrive 25-30 minutes prior. This made the check in process seamless. We brought our own cooler but they have coolers & ice onboard for drinks you bring. If you run out they also sell whiteclaw, local brews, and other beers. Can't recommend this enough! read more

The boat ride was so so much fun! They create the best environment to get social and get a little crazy! They also made sure everyone was safe and complete the waiver before getting on the boat. The captain, bartender, and compliance guy all waited a few minutes for one group that was running a few minutes late, which I thought was nice of them to do! FYI - They have plastic cups to play games with, coolers, and a restroom for #1s only! read more

This is a fun start to your morning if you plan to hit the downtown scene. It was fun, the crew was engaging, and they played all types of music. It would have been nice to have cranberry juice or other mixers to use. I would say if you're having a group of friends in town or bridal shower check it out!! Also, take a cab or uber as parking is expensive and limited in the area. No smoking allowed on boat. read more

Omg!!! Came to Nashville for a family reunion and my uncle booked the Pontoon Saloon for one of our last nights in town. They have coolers (with ice) when you come on board to put your own drinks in, and there's tables and so much room on board. There's a bathroom, a bar, speakers, and the best DJs/ hosts you could ask for! They facilitated drinking games & dances for our group and the 3 other groups on the boat and everybody had an absolute blast. 10/10 recommend even if it sounds cheesy I promise it'll be the highlight of your trip. read more

Had a blast on this trip! Worth doing it during your time in Nashville. The two hours fly by because you're having so much fun. The host has a great playlist, will call out drinking games to get the whole boat involved so you meet other people outside of your group AND takes all the pictures for you so that you can post later. read more

We were in Nashville for 4 days and this was the best part of the trip. We were part of probably 4 large groups on the boat. The emcee, Brandon, was awesome. You can bring your own drinks or preorder drinks and they have a cooler. They encourage mingling and after maybe 30-45 minutes, it started happening. They play great music, they play games for birthdays, bachelor/ettes, etc. It is definitely a great time! read more

They put the party in party boat!!! Really fun time. Music, drinks and dancing. They even had some cool games to play

We had booked the Pontoon Saloon for a group of friends who were visiting from out of town. Two days before our sailing date, we received am email confirmation from the Pontoon Saloon confirming our reservation. The very next day, we received another email that said our reservation was cancelled because another group had cancelled. I realize that there was a booking minimum for the cruise, but I feel that once they sent out the confirmation 48 hours in advance, the cruise should take place. If another group cancelled at the last minute, they should take their deposit but still keep the reservation for the others who were planning on the cruise. Everyone in our group was very disappointed. read more

Had a great time on the pontoon saloon. Perfect for small or large group. The crew was great.

10/10 would recommend this as a group activity - our group of 8 girls had the best time! Staff is super friendly, accommodating, and the whole process was extremely well organized. The owner, Andrew, chatted with us after the boat ride and gave our group some fun recommendations on restaurants and bars to go to after. Pro tip: bring your own hard alcohol and they will make you mixed cocktails :) read more

This was so much fun! It actually exceeded my expectations in every way! The captain and bartender where awesome! The music was great and the views of the Nashville skyline were amazing from the Cumberland River! A lot of people aren't aware this is available so I'll definitely be spreading the word! It's a "must do" when in Nashville!! It's also "BYOB", which is nice! It provides a nice break from the usual city attractions and "Honky Tonks". Highly recommend!!!! read more

This was such a fun experience. The crew knew exactly how to amp up the passengers on board and even got me someone who is shy and reserved to get out and mingle and make new friends and play games and have drinks with strangers. I highly recommend this on your journey and hope you enjoy it as much as I did. read more

Super fun cruise with great views. The crew played great music the entire time and even stopped for picture opportunities. Would definitely recommend to anyone celebrating or just wanting to party in Nashville. read more
