    Really fun and entertaining! Went out on Memorial Day weekend and there was a lot of activity on the river which made it even more fun. I don't drink and was able to bring my own NA beverages and watch all the party people have a great time.

    Linda and Tressa were amazing! We had a fantastic time. The water gun fight was epic. We will definitely plan another brew boat day.

    Do you have plans this weekend and are 21+. .My wife and I took a trip after eating on the river to celebrate our anniversary..The boat isn't huge ,but definitely big enough.. It's a bring your own favorite drinks while the captain drives you down the Sacramento and American river.. While the boat is in full action forward they have music of your choices.. Everyone on our boat was celebrating something from birthdays to the weekend to just life. T he ride seemed short I think it was close to two hours but it was a blast..If you can book a time with friends you will not be disappointed.. Don't forget to bring your own brew they have ice chest on board to keep your beverage's cold...so so much fun..

    It was my first time on the Sac Brew Boat and it was so much fun! The boat was a good size to fit 8-15 people. In the middle of the boat was a sort of long unshaped bar with barstools on the outside edges. In the interior of the bar sat our friendly captain and guide for the excursion. There were coolers to store drinks and a small deck at the front to mingle or even dance if we were so inclined. There was also the possibility of being able to hook up your phone to the aux chord and play music. Before leaving the dock we were given a short safety introduction and had the option of boating to the Sturgeon, a riverside bar, or just having our whole trip on the American River. We opted to stop at the Sturgeon. It gave us time to use the bathroom, because there was not one on the boat, or grab a bite to eat or bar drink. The whole three hours or so we were on the boat passed so quickly! When I got off the boat I reflected that it had felt like 30 min. I guess time flies when you are having fun ;)

    Super fun! We scheduled a trip for my cousins birthday and for whatever reason our schedules were t lining up and it delayed our departure. The captain Aaron was so cool about it, and told us he would wait and make sure we could get out on the water and have a great time. He made sure we were comfortable, felt welcomed, and that my cousin had a memorable birthday. It was a perfect Saturday morning, the weather was beautiful, the other boater's were polite and fun. We even got a chance to stop and feed the ducks! So cool! Aaron was such a sport, he was fun and even photo bombed some of our pics! I wish we would've had more time, but very enjoyable and will definitely be doing this one again.

    As the brew boat leaves, this is the beautiful background.

    So much fun! What a great experience. My friend and I went on a Friday afternoon, and it was all happy faces and laughter from the time we got there, till it ended. We took our own drinks, and enjoyed a beautiful boat ride down the river. I'll be back, but next time I may just get a bunch of my friends and family to enjoy it with me.

    So fun and beautiful. Our crew was amazing and made the whole thing so enjoyable ! We were able to listen to our own music and they had ice chests for our drinks. Bathroom was very clean!

    When you're looking to have fun and that kind of fun combines enjoying alcoholic beverages on the river while getting a little workout, then "Sac Brew Boat" is the answer! Having already gone on the "Sac Brew Bike" (which is seen daily rolling around the streets of Midtown Sacramento), the Brew Boat came to life during the late-spring 2018. It was our friends birthday weekend and a large group of us all planned to spend our Sunday funday under the warm Sacramento sun. Reservations for the Brew Boat are required and it can be done through their website, www.sacbrewboat.com. Individual tickets sell for about $34.99/per person + tax which includes a 90-minute ride along the Sacramento & American rivers. The boat itself can hold 15 adults max. They offer seven tours a day, seven days a week in between the hours of 11am-7pm. Since these tours are more of a warm weather activity, the months of operation are generally April through October. The actual area where the boat docks is in Old Sacramento at the Public Docks on the Sacramento River right next to Rio City Café. It is highly recommended to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to departure in order for a smoother check-in process. You are allowed to bring a total of 3 beverages (beer, wine, and/or cider) and no glass containers. They also offer a cooler with ice to keep your drinks cold. Since this is a 90-minute trip, snacks are also highly recommended. And what would this be without some music? You can link your phone via-Bluetooth to play any song of your choice through their speakers! And make sure you go to the restroom before boarding because there are NO public restrooms on the boat! Once onboard, you will see a full canopy to block the warm sun while you are pedaling. And just like the Brew Bike, the majority of seats have pedals under them to help propel and power the giant paddle wheel in the 30-foot boat's aft. If the customers get too tired, the boat itself is pushed along by a 10 horsepower motor that is charged via rooftop solar panels. Additionally, there is always a captain onboard to make sure we are moving in the right direction. We all had the honor of meeting co-owner of the Brew Boat, Chris Ferren-Cirino who was awesome company during our trip. Overall, the "Sac Brew Boat" was an awesome experience. Props for Chris and his staff for making this come alive to everyone visiting the Sacramento area. We cruised under the Tower Bridge and went as far north as Discovery Park. In my 20 years of living in the Sacramento area, this was a first for me! I will definitely plan this again. My rating for Sac Brew Boat, a unanimous five-stars!

    we had an amazing time at my daughters bachelorette. They took the best care of us. it was our highlight of the weekend. Worth the price for sure.

    Outside of the tiki boat with no pedaling (would recommend).

    Incredible outing ! I was so scared to book since it was close to 750$ but I am so pleased with the whole tour . We were celebrating a bride and loved every minute ! It is a 90 minute tour but captain John was so kind to wait for our last guest -- he even gave us ginger candy beforehand . You can bring any drinks under 7% and no glass or hard alcohol. Which is fine because there is a stop at a bar by the water - the only downside is it 15 minute stop. You can bring back any hard alcohol back to the boat or take your shots there . The views are beautiful, the vibes are so much fun. Make sure to have a good play list . We brought pizza aboard . They provide ice and chest . We had the tiki boat with the restroom-- I would invest . They kept the party going with a water fight with another boat . It was by far the best experience. I would do it all over again- just have to find 18 friends to split . This review is on the tiki boat not on the pedal boat / private tour of 18 . The crew is hands down the best !

    Our Hostess! We  You!

They were incredibly easy to work with and managed to get us in for a Father's Day weekend charter on short notice on Folsom Lake, which was much appreciated. We booked a 3-hour trip and packed in a ton of fun! The crew was totally flexible and let us customize the experience to be exactly what we wanted. We cruised around the lake, swam, and even tried water surfing behind the boat. Sky was amazing with our daughter--she gave her a lesson, walked her through the basics, and coached her the entire way. It made the experience so much more memorable for our family. They came fully equipped with everything we needed, including life vests for the whole crew. Whether we had wanted to just relax and cruise or stay in the water the whole time, they were happy to go with whatever worked for us. Next time, we're definitely going to try the tubes and the floating island--they had it all ready and it looked like a blast. Highly recommend Wake on the Lake if you're looking for a fun, professional, and flexible boat charter experience!

Captain Dave puts safety first, clearly showing guests where to step, explaining the navigational equipment, and reviewing safety protocols in a calm and reassuring way. His knowledge of the Sacramento River is outstanding--he pointed out historical sites, wildlife, and great riverside restaurants, all while providing a smooth and enjoyable ride aboard Papi Loco I enjoyed the Sacramento River excursion so much that I booked a second trip from Alameda to San Francisco. Once again, Captain Dave delivered an exceptional experience. As a special bonus, he even shared freshly caught crab at the end of the day.

The captain and owner, David, was an exceptional host. He loves what he does and truly cares about the safety and comfort of his passengers. We had an amazing day touring the San Francisco Bay and stopping at the piers, Angel Island, and eating dinner at a local restaurant. David and his daughter, Noelani, allowed us to play music, brought our favorite snacks/drinks, and gave us history facts along our stops. They made the day extra special by helping me setup a surprise proposal to my now fiancé. I can't thank them enough for the hospitality and great vibes. We can't put into words what this experience has done for us. Hands down, I recommend this tour. It is a one of a kind experience and focuses on the participants experience.

Grady O'Bryant, you are a crook. So the story goes... I bought two tickets to his New Years event. $79.00 each. The event was cancelled, shut down by the city for not having the proper licenses. No notice... people showed up and were told it was cancelled. (Found out it was just the liquor license... party could have happened anyway, just no wine.) Grady blamed his vendor, but in an email, still said it was his responsibility. It was. Belive it or not, I am a forgiving person. Grady gave away some bottles of Champagne at the door to upset patrons and promised a refund. Hey, crap happens, and I still proposed to Amazing that night upstairs. :D We took our bottle over to the Sheraton bar and chilled for New Years. All in all a great night anyway. On January 2nd comes the email from Grady. We can take a full refund for our $79 tickets, or take tickets to his February event (which he was selling for $59.) OK Grady. How bad at math do you think I am? I respond the next day saying I'd like a full refund. I don't hear back. 2 weeks later I send another email. "When will I get my refund?" I don't hear back. A month later I call and leave a message. I don't hear back. March 13th I send an angry email telling him I'm going to sue him if he doesn't refund my money and I file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I finally get a refund the next week with this message: "Michah, Your refund for $158.00 was processed. I apologize for the delay. Sincerely, Grady" Can't even spell my name right.
