If you've never been in a kayak before, this is a great place to try it. This livery is run by…read morefriendly and helpful people, has easy access to the water, and you'll get to see plenty of wildlife. Tucked away by the CEI plant and off the beaten path, this livery is located where I used to play baseball as a kid. The old concession stand has been repurposed for storage, and where the first ball diamond used to be is now a simple playground. There have been some nice improvements since the livery was established 10 or 12 years ago. The dock area has a nice slip where you paddle into a cradle and you can more easily get out of your kayak. They are also renting ocean kayaks, which are excellent for beginners because of their stability. Ocean kayaks have a flatter bottom and are open, as opposed to traditional kayaks, which are enclosed and have more of a tendency to roll. Everyone gets a PFD (personal floatation device or life jacket), so safety is top of mind. This waterway can be fairly busy, especially with access to Lake Erie. Most boaters are mindful and they need to run slow, but do be aware of where you are at all times. The paddling area will take you past many scenic homes, and residents will often greet you with a friendly wave and greeting. There will be a lot of wildlife out, mostly birds, and the ducks and geese are pretty calm amid all the activity. Some may find that this section of the Chagrin River isn't very pretty, but being out on the water in fresh air with nice people and lots of natural beauty is worth it at any location.

The driver and co-captain were extremely polite, even though it was a hot afternoon. We were allowed to bring 3 beers or a total of 36 oz of drinks with us. There was a Bluetooth speaker on board which allowed up to all take turns playing our own music too. Overall, the ride lasted a little over 2 hours and it was smooth along the water. A few views that made the outing a memorable one were: downtown's skyline, the flats, and an opening of the lake. Typically the boat will seat about 10 people and we had just a few less. Regardless, it was not an issue as they were extremely accommodating. There is a small convenient store next to the boarding location if you forgot to purchase any beverages before the adventure.

The trip itself was pretty non stop, although we had to throw a number of fish back due to the size limits we had a pretty continuous flow of catches for the entire 5 hours that we were out there.

I enjoyed my time on the Holiday Boat during River Rally two years in the row (2024 and 2025), sharing this experience in my review. River Rally Experience: River Rally is organized by the Canalway Partners on annual basis as a festival designed to celebrate our river resources. Holiday Boat Charters ride is one of the highlighted events. The experience is complimentary and around 45 minutes. Boating requires signature of the waiver, wait in short line, and boarding all day long boat rides. The boat boards at Hart Crane Memorial Park and floats down the Cuyahoga River. There is just the right amount of introduction to the experience and some overview of sights by the captain. The staff is very supportive as you get in and out of the boat. Boat Amenities: This is a medium sized boat with seating (wooden benches and couch-like benches). The seating is located at both sides of the boat and the front allowing you to experience all river views. The boat has a full stocked bar. I really enjoyed my experience on the Holiday Boat Charters. The sights of the city from the Holiday boat are unmatched. You must make it part of your summer! I look forward to next year's River Rally and looking into booking a private experience.
