Rentals for the water in Downtown MKE
This past weekend was a bit of a scorcher by Wisconsin standards, amiright? I think I got a headache from being in the sun too long. Of course, like the rest of the people in our fair state, I'm quick to follow up that statement with "but I shouldn't complain!" After spending roughly nine months whining about the cold, no one wants to be caught whining about the heat.
Anyway, to beat said heat and quit complaining, here's an idea: Get out on the water! You don't even have to go to Lake Country to do it. Here's the skinny on two ways to set sail in Milwaukee.
#1 Milwaukee Kayak Company
With Milwaukee Kayak Company, you'll be off on your kayaking adventures in no time! They really do make the process super easy. Start by going online and making a reservation: A solo kayak is $35 for up to four hours, and the tandem kayak is $50.
Included in the cost is your kayak, paddles, and life vests. They'll also loan you a waterproof bag for your valuables, and when we went they had coolers filled with bottled water to keep you hydrated on your journey. They'll also happily snap a pic of your group.
#2 Riverwalk Boat Tours & Rentals
If you're looking for cruises down the Milwaukee River with themes like Margarita Monday, Tiki Tuesday, or Wild Wednesday (one for every day of the week!), Riverwalk Boat Tours & Rentals is the place to be. But more importantly (and much less Girls Gone Wild), this is also the place to rent a party barge pontoon boat.
Here's the scoop: Rates vary, but all boats have a 10-person max and are self captained. To rent, you'll need a drivers license and a deposit for boat damages. Half-day rentals are four hours, all-day rentals are 10 hours. After all guests sign a waiver, you're free to cruise away down the river and even out onto Lake Michigan. BYO food, booze, tunes, and DD (aka captain) — it's a blast!
