Quick Details
LET US HOST YOUR NEXT GROUP EVENT!
Our captained private charters create a unique, memorable venue for your next corporate outing, family gathering, birthday party, or other group event.
RATES & INFORMATION:
Our private charters come staffed with a professional captain to drive the boat and a trained deckhand to assist with docking. All rentals include a 15-minute window after disembarkation for crew to clean the boat. A $25 cleaning fee, as well as all required sales tax, will be included when calculating the total cost, in addition to the boat rental rate itself. A nonrefundable 50% deposit is due at the time of booking, with the final balance due seven days before the cruise is scheduled. Any additional hours must be purchased in advance and are subject to the continued availability of the boat and our crew beyond your originally scheduled rental time.
Food and drinks are not provided, but may be brought onboard. Guests are responsible for taking all trash with them after their cruise; trash may not be left or disposed of in Pere Marquette Park. Alternate pick up and drop off locations may be arranged for your rental if desired, but please note that your rental time will begin and end when your charter leaves and returns to our docks at Pere Marquette Park, and we are only able to dock where guests have secured permission in advance from the dock owner for us to do so and the length of the dock can accommodate a boat of our size.

CANCELLATIONS:
Customers are not eligible for a refund should they request to cancel their cruise. As our charters are completely covered with clear tarps that can be pulled down on the sides in the event of wind or rain, weather-based cancellations requested by the customer are also not refund-eligible. A rebooking credit for the amount paid may be issued if the customer provides advance notice of their intent to cancel; customers will not be eligible for a credit if they do not show up at the time of their scheduled event. A minimum two weeks’ advance notice is required to change the date or time for a charter rental, and a customer’s ability to do so is pending the availability of a boat and crew at the new date or time requested.
If Riverwalk Boat Tours & Rentals must cancel a private charter rental due to unsafe or inoperable weather conditions, mechanical failure, or other unforeseen issue, the customer will be contacted with as much notice as is possible and be offered the option of a full refund or a credit to rebook for another time.
