Your day, your way
Custom Group Experiences
Explore the Petaluma River as a group on an “adventure”, or mix, mingle & mess about in boats with a riverfront “play date”.
All ages and stages are welcome at The Floathouse!
Two ways to get your group on the water:
The Adventure
Explore the river together in the same or similar boats. Guided or self guided; you choose!
The Play Date
Flexible riverfront fun for groups who want to mix, mingle, and try a combination of different watercraft. Includes space on the dock to hang out and chat.
Not sure which is right for your crew?
