Cycle Boat Party Themes We Love (& Have Actually Seen!)

Whether you’re celebrating something big or just love a reason to dress up, themed rides turn good vibes into great ones, and we’ve seen some amazing ones over the years. Here are a few of our absolute favorites to inspire your next party on the water:

Whatever your theme, we are here to make your ride unforgettable. Bring your best costumes, boat-friendly décor & signature cocktails and we will handle the rest!
Pedals, Parties & Paradise: Why Queen City Cycle Boat Is the Ultimate Jersey Shore Experience
If you’re headed to LBI and looking for something fun, different, and ridiculously memorable to do with your crew – look no further. Welcome aboard the Queen City Cycle Boat: the original party pedal boat on the Jersey Shore.
What Is a Cycle Boat Anyway?
Think: your favorite bar, but it floats. And you have to kind of earn your drinks by pedaling (don’t worry—it’s a team effort and not mandatory). We cruise around the calm waters of Beach Haven with up to 24 people onboard, music bumping, drinks flowing, and views for days.
Here’s What a Ride Looks Like:
Bring your crew – Bachelorettes, birthdays, family vacays, work outings, or just an excuse to day drink? Perfect.
Bring your drinks + snacks – It’s BYOB, so pack those seltzers and sandwiches.
We’ve got the music covered – Or bring your own playlist and take over the Bluetooth.
Pedal if you want to – But we’ve got a motor, too, so you can chill while your friends do the work.
Laugh a lot – Seriously, we dare you not to.
Why We’re Different
There are other boats out there. But there’s only one Queen City Cycle Boat—and we’re proud to be the first and only cycleboat with pedal stations on LBI. We’re not just a booze cruise. We’re a floating party, a photo op, a workout (if you want), and a vibe all in one.
Don’t Just Take Our Word for It…
You’ll see us in action all summer long—dancing on the deck, waving to the dock, and probably singing too loud. Follow us on Instagram [@QueenCityCycleBoat] and see what the hype’s about.

Food Ideas for your cruise!
Not only is it great to have a good drink (or two) on Queen City Cycle Boat, but snacks are encouraged as well! You need alllll of the party fuel you can get! You are welcome to bring anything you want from home, we have even had an oyster shucker on board in the past! However, in case you are looking for some suggestions, we have put together a tried-and-true list of cycleboat worthy food ideas:
One Board Blonde, our go-to for charcuterie and fruit plates.
Brunch box from Sweet Melissa – perfect for those early cruises!
Pearl Street Market for literally anything you can think of!
Hoagies and garlic knots are perfect boat treats – and Barry’s does them best.
