The Boats

Easy To Drive

Not a seasoned boat person, not a problem the manufactures tag line is "as easy to drive as a golf cart". And our staff will help land and launch the boat. Anyone over 25 with a valid drivers license can rent. If under 29 per state of Wisconsin, you are required to take an online boaters safety course, more info here. or you can hire a skipper from Rent Skippers.

Eco Friendly

Duffy Boats are Eco Friendly, Certified Zero Emissions. They use charged electricity instead of gasoline. Not only is this a massive perk for Planet Earth but the boats are silent in the water enhancing the overall boating experience

Milwaukee River

We launch from the south side of the downtown River District, a 90 minute rental allows you to do a complete lap of the entire downtown corridor, (up to the Harp Irish Pub and Back) which is such a beautiful an unique way to see the city from a new angle.

Family Friendly

We have life jackets in all sizes, all ages welcome on the boats.

Perfect for Milwaukee Weather

The Boats have windows that can be easily zipped up to keep you comfortable regardless of what mother nature throws our way. Our boats have sun decks on the back too to enjoy the sunshine.

That's totally fine, we can add or subtract people to your reservation at check in. We will make adjustments to your price at check in. Keep in mind we do have a 4 person minimum (6 person minimum on Saturdays). So if you have less than the minimum at arrival we will charge the minimum rate.

How long are the rentals ? Can we add time?

This is our 4th season and we have realized the perfect amount of time to do the entire Milwaukee River Loop is 90 minutes. It takes 90 minutes to go all the way from our location to the northern point of the Milwaukee River (Lakefront Brewery) or up to the Harp, dock there and make a quick 15 pit stop to grab a round of drinks / bathroom break. We can add time if we have schedule flexibilty/

Can we stop at bars along the way?

How long are the rentals ? Can we add time?

Yes, the Milwaukee River has great options. We even have dock space reserved at the Harp for our other boats, the Paddle taverns, so our staff will help land you, and it's in the mid point of the Milwaukee River Lap.

What is the weather / cancellation policy?

We are very flexible, we want your group to have a good time. The boats have roofs, and the window can be zipped up and down quickly. So light rain isn't a problem. Please cancel at least 3 days in advance. On bad weather days we will connect the morning of to give the renter their choice of refund, rain check, or delay the start time.
