Tempe Boat Cruisin' Launching in January 2026
Tempe Town Lake is set to welcome a refreshing and innovative experience for locals and tourists alike with the introduction of Tempe Boat Cruisin'. Scheduled to launch in January 2026, this new venture is spearheaded by Robert Mayer, the founder of Arizona Party Bike. The unique concept blends aquatic recreation with social interaction, designed to make the Valley's only major urban lake accessible for a variety of fun, hosted cruises.
A Unique Cycling Experience on Water
Tempe Boat Cruisin' features custom-designed cycle boats that function as a hybrid between a party bike and a boat. Each vessel can accommodate up to 26 passengers, including dedicated pedal stations for 12 riders. This allows guests to actively engage in propelling the boat using their own pedal power. However, should pedaling stop, a silent, environmentally friendly electric propulsion system takes over, ensuring a smooth ride without any emissions. This innovative design encourages both fun and sustainability, making it a fantastic addition to the recreational offerings at Tempe Town Lake.
Mayer shared his excitement about this new endeavor by stating, "We've had tremendous success bringing hundreds of thousands of people together through Arizona Party Bike, and activating Tempe Town Lake with Tempe Boat Cruisin' is the next step for our brand." He views Tempe Town Lake as a quintessential destination in the Valley, and he believes the experiences offered by the boat will provide a unique way for visitors and residents to enjoy it.
Collaborating with the City of Tempe
The launch of Tempe Boat Cruisin' has been developed in collaboration with the City of Tempe, echoing the municipality's commitment to enhancing community and tourism experiences. Tempe Mayor Corey Woods expressed enthusiasm for the service, highlighting that it represents a fresh approach to entertaining at the lake: "Tempe Town Lake is an iconic destination where residents and visitors alike gather to work, recreate, and celebrate special occasions. We couldn't be more thrilled to welcome Tempe Boat Cruisin' to the mix."
Perfect for Celebrations and Gatherings
Tempe Boat Cruisin' offers both public and private cruise options, making it an ideal choice for various occasions, such as corporate events, family get-togethers, ASU tailgating, sunset outings, and more. The cruises promise vibrant entertainment with music, scenic views, and the opportunity for guests to enjoy responsible alcoholic beverages sourced from an on-site store, all while being captain-led in a safety-focused environment.
This initiative is part of Arizona Party Bike's larger strategy to expand its brand into water-based experiences while maintaining their tradition of prioritizing safety, customer service, and memorable outings for all. Natalie, one of the crew members, notes how engaging the cycle boat experience will be, helping guests not only have fun but also create unforgettable memories on the water.
