About This Adventure

Join us for an unforgettable cruise to the Gator Bowl! Departing at 3pm, enjoy convenient stops on both the Southbank and Northbank before the game. After the excitement, our streamlined return service ensures a quick ride back. Experience the thrill of game day with a unique waterfront journey!

Cruise with us to the Gator Bowl! We start service at 3pm and will extend hours to get you back after the game. The game starts at 7:30pm, and we will operate multiple boats that day! For transportation to the stadium dock before the game, we will make two stops on the Southbank (Doubletree Dock and Southbank Hotel Dock) and one stop on the Northbank (Hyatt Dock under the Main Street Bridge). We will stop approximately every 20-25 min, depending on volume. In an effort to get you and all passengers back as quickly as possible after the game, there will be only ONE stop on the Southbank and ONE stop on the Northbank. (The two Southbank stops are only a 5 - 7 minute walk from each other. We think you will find it’s more efficient and reduces the wait time at the stadium dock!) Simply select your boarding location from the options below. Our crew will at the two Southbank Docks by 3 pm that day to distribute wristbands. Folks boarding at the Northbank location can check in and get wristbands on the boat!
