Sip-n-Cycle Pedal Cruise Montgomery: 12-Station Party Boat
Pedal, drink and steer a floating party down the Alabama River
The Sip-n-Cycle is a pedal-powered cycleboat cruise on the Alabama River in Montgomery where passengers pedal a 12-station cycle bar in the bow while a USCG Captain and First Mate navigate the route. You bring your own beverages and food. The boat provides a souvenir cup and a sound system for song requests. The 90-minute journey travels upriver toward the old cotton mill, then south under the I-65 Bridge past downtown before returning to Riverfront Park. Minimum age is 18, and at least 7 passengers are required for the cruise to operate.

The experience
The boat departs from Riverfront Park in downtown Montgomery, where you'll board and receive a safety briefing from the First Mate before heading upriver. The route takes you under the Alabama River Bridge toward the old cotton mill, then back downstream under the I-65 Bridge past the area where the new waterpark and Air Force Base sit along the water. The pedaling keeps the boat moving while the USCG Captain and First Mate handle navigation, so if your legs need a break, the boat keeps rolling either way.
The 12-station cycle bar runs the length of the bow, so you and your group pedal together while the sound system plays whatever songs you request. It's a BYOB setup (bring your own drinks and finger foods), and you'll get a Sip-n-Cycle souvenir cup to take home. The whole experience runs 90 minutes from boarding to unloading back at the Riverfront Dock.

Is this one for you?The pedaling is what keeps the boat moving, so expect to contribute leg power for part of the cruise. If you'd rather relax without pedaling, the Captain and First Mate will keep the party going on the water.

What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. No refund if you cancel.
Can I pedal the whole time or do I have to take turns?
The 12-station cycle bar means multiple people pedal at once, so you're not waiting for a turn. If you need to stop pedaling, the Captain and First Mate keep the boat moving, so there's no pressure to pedal the full 90 minutes.
