Super fun cruise with great views. The crew played great music the entire time and even stopped for picture opportunities. Would definitely recommend to anyone celebrating or just wanting to party in Nashville. read more

I hosted a group of wedding planners last night, which means we have high standards for service and hospitality. We were pretty low key after a few nights of going out, and Drew was an awesome boat host.... He was a good balance of going with the low key flow and being our hype guy! He was helpful, entertaining and fun! The boat was clean, felt safe and accommodating for a party or peaceful cruise! read more

Cannot say enough great things about this place! We had so much fun!!!! It was the perfect way to start out weekend. Even though it was super hot outside, we felt good once the boat started going and the wind was there. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend. read more

Update...The owner of this business, Andrew, offered me a refund for my bad experience on August 4th. I am still waiting and at this point not holding my breath. I screen shot the texts between myself and Andrew, but he's not a man of his word. How unfortunate, but hey they must need the money real bad to keep the boat afloat. read more

Such a great time! I highly recommend these guys! My plane was set to land about four hours before I could check-in to my hotel room, so the night before take off I bought a ticket for the Mimosa Cruise on Mother's Day. I could not have asked for a better experience. read more

Lucky enough to only have 30 people on board, which left plenty of room for moving about. Ernie was a great captain, crew was accommodating and allowed for icebreakers to open everybody up a little bit, overall great experience. read more

From a Nashville local, this is THE BEST! We had so much fun. Great music, great vibes, a perfect different outing for friends, bachelorette party, or even a date night. read more

First our bus was 30 mins late then we drove back and forth on the river drinking warm beer no coozies and the staff were really rude. I wouldn't recommend this at all especially for the overpriced fees. Don't waste ur money or time read more

I will now recommend this 'excursion' to anyone I know traveling to Nashville, it's so worth it! I've done several of the pedal pubs and this beats those experiences by far! The customer service was phenomenal and the views of the city were great. We loved that it was BYOB and we were able to bring some snacks, as well! Make sure to get there early if you want to claim your spot at the guitar table (shown in pic), as it is the only one in the sunlight. Once again, highly recommend to any and all groups looking for a good time read more

What a fun way to see a different side of Nashville! The crew was fantastic...especially with the dumping of water on the heads of people who got too hot. Being able to bring your own food and booze on the boat was great too! read more

Had the BEST time ever!!!!! Went to Nashville for a Bach party and Dirty Ernie & Drew were amazing and definitely showed us a good time. It was the highlight of our entire trip. 10/10 will go back if ever in Nashville again. read more

Good experience. The vibes were great and the music and ice breaker games were fun. The ride was smooth

The boat ride and staff on the boat were amazing- we had a blast. But AT ALL costs, DO NOT pay for the refundable option, they will NOT refund you. We had unforeseen circumstances that came up - out of our control and I paid for the refund option (for these reasons specifically) and corporate refuses to refund me because "it's not a good enough reason". Other than that, it was a great time. read more

If I am being honest it wasn't very fun. We originally booked for a Friday afternoon trip but we were contacted the night before telling us that they cancelled that reservation because it was not fully booked. Kinda crappy to do because we were visiting Nashville and had an itinerary we wanted to follow so we had to move things around. Besides that we arrived on the pontoon on Friday evening and it was super hot. I figured since we would be moving we would get some sort of breeze but I was completely wrong. While we sailed down the river you do not see much besides murky water and trees. I thought we would see different things along the river or maybe be able to go in the water, but no there was none of that. When I asked what kind of animals are in the water I didn't really get an answer. As for the music, it was pretty standard, not very loud (actually kind of low, couldn't really hear it in the front of the boat), and the whole vibe of the boat was boring. This tour is BYOB so it is really not worth it. For $45 per person for a boat ride that you need to bring your own food and drinks down a river that has nothing on it is a lot of money and I would not recommend it. Sorry to say but there are a lot better way to spend your money in Nashville. read more

We booked the Pontoon Saloon during CMA Fest 2017 and it was an absolute blast. From beginning to end our group had a great time and the staff was very helpful. The music was just right, the tables gave everyone a spot to hang out. We shared the boat with a few other groups, and all were friendly. The pontoon is spacious, lots of room to take in the sights or chat it up with your friends. We will look to book another voyage on the Saloon soon! read more

I highly recommend the sunset cruise! Nick and Drew were awesome hosts and made the experience very memorable.

This was perfect for our bachelorette party. There are other parties part of the cruise. The host and captain were so fun and led games so that everyone on the cruise bonded. BRING A CASE OF WHITE CLAWS (or whatever your preferred booze is). A+ read more

We were so looking forward to this cruise. We booked it to depart from the downtown location, as we were staying downtown and could walk there. There were 6 of us booked, and the day before the cruise, we received notification that they changed the departing location to 12 minutes away from downtown. Well on a Friday afternoon, during spring break, we all know 12 minutes can easily turn into 30min to an hour. We were super bummed, especially since we planned to have a few drinks while enjoying the cruise and didn't want to drive after we had been drinking. I called and spoke with the owner, Andrew, expressing my concern. He suggested we can take an Uber to the new location, but that would have required 2 Ubers and likely a hefty bill given the good chance of traffic. We requested to cancel our reservation and receive a refund. He agreed; however was going to keep a cancellation fee because in the fine print they reserve the right to change the location. After some discussion, he reminded me it was a "nominal" fee, and insisted they would keep the fee despite them changing their circumstances. I reminded him if it were that nominal, it shouldn't be an issue to refund it. He refused. We're pretty bummed that the owner himself didn't have better customer service. We would have loved to do this cruise and bring our friends and family on this cruise when they come to visit. It seems like a fun thing to do, but just BEWARE that they can and will change the location from downtown just hours before takeoff. read more

Pontoon Saloon was AWESOME. From start to finish, everything was seamless. Before our trip, every person I spoke with to organize it was friendly and very helpful. The crew on board was friendly, helpful and made sure that our group had fun. I would recommend them to anyone headed to Nashville. Bachelorettes, families, birthdays, even work trips, it was the perfect outing. read more

I threw a Bachelorette party that consisted of 22 ladies a few weeks ago. Honestly, in moments I felt overwhelmed with planning because I had never been to Nashville, wanted each planned activity to be a hit for all celebrating the bride to be and there are so many things to do in Nashville!! After a lot of research I decided to book the Pontoon Saloon and do a private cruise. I have to admit, I was excited, and knew it would be great- but it ended up being one of the most fun times we had ever had! The hosts were amazing, the party on the water was incredible and it was a party we didn't want to end. If you're even considering booking, do it!! It will not disappoint! Thank you Pontoon Saloon for an unforgettable day! The hospitality leading up to the event and day of were perfection. read more

A must do while in Nashville. We did the sunset cruise and loved it. Day turned to night and scenery was great. Sunset, and city/bridge lights were spectacular. DJ and pilot were friendly and professional. Music was great. It was fun meeting other guests. Bring plenty of drinks and snacks. read more

My family and I traveled to Nashville to celebrate a variety of family milestones and accomplishments. We booked the Pontoon Saloon as one of our planned events together before we arrived. We took the Sunset Cruise and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The staff were extraordinarily friendly and created an environment that helped everyone feel relaxed and to have fun. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Nashville. read more

I don't even have much to say about this other than if you are considering it, DO IT. It was so much fun and such a great way to kick off an amazing night in Nashville. Two hours may seem like a long time but when it was time for us to leave, all of us were sad that we had to! The staff is kind and the boat ride itself is relaxing (until the dancing starts) and beautiful. We will definitely be booking again on our next trip! read more

Captain Andrew & Heath are AWESOME! What a great way to do some "day drinking" on the "pontoon!" Highly recommend it to any & all.

My experience on The pontoon saloon makes me want to move to Nashville. Most fun I've ever had in my life.

We absolutely loved our 2 hour boat ride with Jerrick, Keith,and Andrew! It was a lovely sunset cruise (7-9 pm) and such a great way to meet new people. Keith sets the tone from the very beginning, cracking jokes and breaking the ice so people feel comfortable chatting one with another. We loved the views, and overall love the concept. We will definitely be going again in the future--- Thank you so much!! read more

My group had fun and the captain and bartender were great! I think your experience here is going to depend almost entirely on who else is on the pontoon with you. I was in town with my mom, aunts, and grandmother; there were 3 bachelorette parties and a few other groups with us and everyone had fun. Towards the end they let one of the other girls on the boat take the mike and it turned into karaoke which I definitely could have done with out, but it didn't completely ruin things. It was a hot muggy day but once the boat started moving there was a bit of a breeze going and I cooled off. I think it was fun as a one time thing but I don't think it is something I would like to do over and over. read more

What a fun way to see Nashville! The crew was great and they kept the fun going. Be sure to bring enough to indulge while on the boat. They have coolers with ice for all you bring. I would definitely recommend taking this cruise! read more

THIS WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP TO NASHVILLE!!! The DJ/Deckhand was sooo much fun!! Music was perfect and it was nice of them to provide ice and coolers. read more

Chris, out 1st mate, bartender, MC, DJ, and all around star made the day! Perfect event for our bachelorette party!

Great time! Everyone on our trip said it was the best thing we did while we were in Nashville. Great music playlist too! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good time. read more

This is NOT a "must do" of Nashville. Our cruise consisted of a 30th birthday party which included 20-25 people. Unfortunately my sister and I and the other 6 people that weren't a part of the party almost felt like we were infringing. If you are going to go in large groups it would almost be best to make it a private party. The DJ seemed grouchy and tired. The scenery is just okay in the evening and very very hot. You all throw your beer/drinks in a communal cooler and other people drank most of ours. We made our own fun and met other people, but for $52 BYOB we could've done that elsewhere. The peddle bars are a lot more fun with better music. read more

This was the highlight of my trip to Nashville. The deckhand and captain were hilarious and encouraged us all to get to know each other and party! Super fun! GO~! read more

We recently booked this for my best friend's bachelorette party. We all had a BLAST! The crew and captain are so fun, everyone is encouraging you to have a good time. I would definitely recommend this to anyone considering doing it while they are in Nashville. It is right near downtown as well. If I am ever to go back to Nashville, I would definitely do this again! read more

I was part of a bachelorette party and I had my doubts about having this be a part of our trip and I couldn't have been more right. This was a terrible idea. We paid money to be stuck on a low level boat with strangers while having to supply our own drinks. They wanted us to be excited about being on a disgusting river while looking at everyone downtown having a great time from a distance without enjoying the Nashville live music scene. The music on the "boat" was the worst possible and the entire experience was a joke. If you like looking at others having a good time without you while bringing your own drinks, having to pay to be on the boat, and listening to terrible music, this might be for you. If you have a brain, it isn't. read more

Did a work team building on the pontoon and it was by far the best event we've ever had. They were right on time and the boat was clean and spacious. We had about 25 people and it wasn't at all cramped. The ride takes about two hours and they pump whatever sweet jams you desire for the duration. It's byo food and drinks, and our run was catered by 5 points pizza (see also: freaking amazing pizza). The captain is a peach and they have cups and ice and the associated boozing accoutrement. We did the sunset cruise and you should too. Puuuuuurty. read more

Our group of girls had a great time on the Pontoon Saloon! They were able to accommodate us last minute after our pedal tavern cancelled on us. I would definitely recommend this to anyone - the guys were great and we had a really fun night. Thanks again! read more

My fiancé and I had a great time on the pontoon saloon during our visit to Nashville. We felt a little awkward when we first got on, as we were the only couple with a bachelor party and bachelorette parties and some other larger groups of couples but by the end of the boat ride everyone was friends. If you want to take a relaxing boat ride with some tunes playing, enjoying the Tennessee sunshine, a cold drink in your hand and the wind flowing through your hair, then you should most definitely sign up for a ride on the Pontoon Saloon. No this is not a scenic boat ride, no this is not a boat ride about the history of Nashville... if you're looking for that kind of stuff then this is not the boat ride for you. We were glad we signed up for this and the crew was wonderful, tons of fun. We definitely recommend this! read more
