Pedal Pontoon Boat Rental
Renting a pontoon boat in downtown Nashville is a great way to spend a day on the water with your friends. Did you know RQV has the ONLY Pedal Pontoon in Nashville? It’s a truly unique experience! You can cruise down the Cumberland River while enjoying the famous Nashville skyline – just BYOB and the Captain, Deckhand, cooler, ice, and Bluetooth speaker for your favorite tunes are ready to go on the boat. Don’t want to pedal? Don’t worry! The pedal pontoon has a motor to cruise you up and down the river.
Paddleboarding
Paddleboarding is a fun and unique way to explore the waterways of Nashville. There are several rental companies that offer paddleboard rentals and tours on the Cumberland River and surrounding lakes. We recommend Nashville Paddle Company on Percy Priest Lake.
Kayaking
Kayaking is another great way to explore the waterways of Nashville. You can rent kayaks and explore the calm waters of the Cumberland River with River Queen Voyages. We have three options: Skyline kayaking (point to point from Shelby Park to Nashville Riverfront Park), Out & Back (paddle around downtown at Riverfront and Cumberland Parks), and our unique River Queen Quest scavenger hunt which is the Skyline + a crossword puzzle game with clues you find along your paddling route into downtown. Solve the game for a prize!
