Cream City Boats LLC is a Milwaukee-based operator offering individual adult party boats on the Milwaukee River. The company provides self-guided, silent electric boats that require no paddling, letting groups focus on scenic cruising and socializing rather than propulsion. Trips include a 30-minute Trial Teaser, a One Hour Boat Cruise, and a One & Half Hour Boat Cruise.
Each experience emphasizes easy, memorable outings for friends and groups. The boats are electric and quiet, allowing guests to enjoy city views and relaxed conversation. The 30-minute option is a brief sampler ideal for first-time riders or tight schedules; the 60-minute cruise offers a full hour to float, play games, and take in more of the river; the 90-minute cruise extends that time and notes that safety gear is provided for that specific trip.
Bookings are organized by trip length, so groups can choose the duration that fits their plans. The business operates on the Milwaukee River and positions its electric boats as a low-effort alternative to traditional paddled craft. Messages about safety, trip durations, and the electric, no-paddle format come directly from the trip descriptions. Information presented here reflects the available trip summaries and the company’s stated location in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Cream City Boats LLC appeals to adults looking for a social, low-effort river experience in Milwaukee using quiet, electric boats designed for small-group outings.
