Solo Party Boats: Thirty Electric Minutes on the Milwaukee River.

Highlights
Outing Highlights
Silent, all‑electric single‑rider craft
These are individual adult party boats driven by quiet electric motors so the riverscape, conversation and your playlist are front and center. There’s no paddling or rowing — you steer and float for thirty minutes.
A micro‑regatta of solo boats
The format is unabashedly playful: bring friends, rent one or many, and use the river as a playground — tag other boats, drift between docks and relax while you move.
Iconic Milwaukee riverfront sightlines
In thirty minutes you’ll trace a short stretch of the river and encounter quintessential urban waterfront views — a compact way to see the city from water level.
What the day feels like
What the half hour feels like
The experience is immediate and kinetic: step into a single‑person electric boat, don a life jacket, start the timer and drift. There’s space to play small games, move up and down the waterway for skyline perspectives, and return to shore on schedule — all within a contained 30‑minute window.
