Rum Barge Adventures is your passport to a curated floating experience — cruising historic waterways and coastal bays where local character, natural beauty, and good vibes come together. Every trip is intentionally designed to feel comfortable, social, and easygoing… from sunny afternoons to epic sunsets.
Whether you’re looking for a relaxed daytime cruise, a golden-hour sunset ride, sandbar time, or a fully private celebration, our experiences are designed to feel easy, social, and memorable — shaped around the kind of day you want to have on the water.
From the moment you step aboard, our crew takes care of the details so you don’t have to. Expect a friendly, attentive team with deep local knowledge, great energy, and a smooth, comfortable flow — plus thoughtful onboard touches like shaded seating, an onboard restroom, great music, and complimentary water and fresh fruit.
Our captains hold U.S. Coast Guard Master and OUPV licenses, and our crew is trained in First Aid, CPR, and AED use — so you can relax, settle in, and enjoy the experience with total confidence.
We recommend bringing sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, a towel, and a light cover-up. Bathing suits are optional, depending on the experience you choose. Please note: For safety reasons, glass containers are not permitted onboard.
Yes — children are welcome. We require one adult for every two children, and all guests must follow onboard safety guidelines. Life jackets are available and required when appropriate.
Light snacks are available on all cruises. By request, there are incredible food packages available through our trusted local catering partners. Availability varies by location and cruise type.
Real experiences. Real memories. See why guests keep coming back for another day on the water.
What a great way to spend an afternoon. We spotted wildlife right near the marina, cruised through beautiful water, and even made a stop along the way. The captain knew exactly how to pace the day — relaxed, fun, and never rushed. We’d book again in a heartbeat
Absolutely stunning from start to finish. The sunset views were unreal, the atmosphere was relaxed, and everything felt effortless. It was the perfect way to unplug after a long week — we’re still talking about it.
The views as the sun went down were incredible, but what really stood out was how comfortable everything felt. The crew was attentive without hovering, and the whole experience felt thoughtfully done. Truly the best way to end the day!
