NEW: DUCHESS PUB, A FUN WAY TO EXPLORE THE HARBOR

The Duchess Yacht Service announced their brand new vessel, Duchess Pub, a 26-passenger cycle boat offering harbor tours for groups of all ages. Guests use their feet to pedal The Duchess Pub, making the Paddle Wheel propel the boat on their tour. At any time, the Onboard Licensed Captain can deploy machinery power to relieve the guests of the task so they can sit back and enjoy the ride.

Open boat mixer tours start at $79 person and private tours start at $1,106.00 plus tax and fees. This fun interactive experience can be shared by family, friends, co-workers, and groups celebrating special events. Click here for more information.
