Chesapeake Bay Pedal Club operates pedal pub cycleboats in Virginia Beach, offering guided BYO cruises that combine socializing, sightseeing, and casual refreshment. The company runs two main experiences: a Private Cruise — a 1 hour and 45-minute charter for groups seeking an exclusive boat, and a Public Cruise — a 1 hour and 45-minute social ride where individual tickets can be booked. Both experiences allow guests to bring their own drinks and snacks and are led by certified captains who handle navigation and safety.
The fleet uses cycleboats designed for group seating and pedaling, providing a relaxed, low-impact way to enjoy coastal views of Chesapeake Bay and the Virginia Beach shoreline. Trips emphasize safety and hospitality: certified captains oversee departure, docking, and on-water conduct, while staff manage reservations and boarding. The BYO model keeps costs flexible and encourages guests to personalize food and beverage choices for celebrations, team outings, or casual get-togethers.
Chesapeake Bay Pedal Club is featured on The Adventure Collective, where the company's cruises are listed among local outdoor experiences in Virginia Beach. Booking options include private charters for events and public sails for individuals or small groups. The business provides clear trip durations, safety oversight by licensed captains, and an accessible meeting location in Virginia Beach, making it a straightforward choice for residents and visitors seeking a unique, social waterfront activity. Reservations are available online or by phone, with clear cancellation policies and straightforward pricing for both private charters and public cruise tickets and group discounts available.
