Before your cruise
You have a date on the calendar. Here is everything you need to know before you set sail on Lake Orion.
Four things to do before the day
Sign the waiver
Everyone in your group signs a short online waiver before the big day. If somebody forgets, there is a paper copy on the party bus. A legal guardian signs for anyone under 18.
Sort the cars
No more than four cars from your group can park at Green's Park. Put the heavy coolers and anyone who needs step-free access in those cars, and send the rest to the overflow parking listed below.
Arrive 15 minutes early
Come to the Green's Park parking lot, not the park itself. Look for someone in a Pedal Boat Pub shirt with the party wagon.
Hand over the drinks
Green's Park is an alcohol-free park, so guests cannot carry alcohol through it. Our crew loads your drinks into the party wagon in the parking lot and brings them to the boat for you.
What to bring
- Food and snacks
Food is not provided on the boat, so bring whatever you like. There is a bar the length of the boat to spread out on.
- Drinks
Alcohol is welcome if you are 21 or over. Nothing is sold on board. We supply the ice and the cooler that runs down the middle of the bar.
- Photo ID
Alcohol is permitted, so we may ask for identification.
- Your music
We have playlists ready, but if you are particular about the soundtrack, connect your phone over Bluetooth or the aux cord. Clean versions only, please.
- Sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat
There is a removable canopy for shade and light rain, but a lake in July is bright.
- Swimsuit and towel
Jumping in the water is available on request whenever the captain says it is safe. Come prepared.
Where to meet
All cruises launch from Green's Park. Please arrive 15 minutes before your departure time.
