Destination Cleveland recently published a round-up of the best ways to get out on the water this season, putting a major spotlight on two local favorites: CLE Tiki Barge and the Cleveland Water Taxi.

The feature highlights how both experiences give locals and visitors a front-row seat to the city’s vibrant waterfront culture along the Cuyahoga River and Inner Harbor.

CLE Tiki Barge: The Ultimate Floating Tiki Experience

Recognized as “Cleveland’s only floating tiki bar,” CLE Tiki Barge offers a relaxed, island-inspired BYOB cruise right through the heart of downtown Cleveland. Whether you’re booking a single ticket on a public cruise or reserving a private charter for a celebration, the barge offers:

  • Scenic Skyline Views: 2-hour cruises departing right from Main Avenue in The Flats.

  • Full Amenities: Outfitted with coolers, ice, a Bluetooth sound system, an onboard bathroom, and even a photographer to capture the trip.

  • Group Flexibility: Private booking options designed for groups ranging from 20 to 49 guests.

Cleveland Water Taxi: Hop-On, Hop-Off Exploration

Also featured in the guide, the Cleveland Water Taxi provides an easy, scenic way to navigate The Flats without dealing with traffic or parking. Featuring all-day pass options, it seamlessly connects passengers to waterfront dining, parks, and downtown attractions.

Why the Recognition Matters

As Cleveland’s riverfront continues to grow into a top destination for entertainment and recreation, coverage from Destination Cleveland reinforces the key role local water tours play in driving tourism and downtown activity.
