Pontoon Saloon

Pontoon Saloon is a Nashville rental and cruise operation running public and private party cruises on the Cumberland River aboard a 50-foot party barge. Cruise offerings include public river cruises, a Bach Party Cruise with all-inclusive beer and seltzer packages, Luxury Private Cruises with lounge seating and catering options, and corporate team-building events; all cruises run 2 hours and include a party host, sound system, restroom, and on-board bar. Pontoon Saloon describes itself as the pioneer of on-water experience in Nashville, with capacity for up to 47 passengers per vessel and groups of up to 130 across multiple boats. Cruises depart from Nashville Riverfront Docks East at 2 Victory Ave in Downtown Nashville (public cruises 7 days a week, private cruises Friday through Sunday) and from Lock One Marina at 1505 Lock Rd, 2 miles north of downtown (private cruises Sunday through Thursday). Reviewers highlight the friendly crew, on-board bartender and DJ who run games and keep the party moving, the Cumberland River and Nashville skyline views, and the convenience of a 2-hour cruise with drinks available on board.
