About Saloon Boat – Buffalo’s Private Party Cruise Experience
Celebrations on the water, unforgettable views, and private BYOB fun for every group.
Our Story
Saloon Boat was created to give Buffalo locals and visitors a fun, unique, and stress-free way to celebrate life’s biggest moments. From bachelorette parties and birthdays to corporate outings and family celebrations, we wanted to offer an experience that brings people together in the best setting possible — the beautiful Buffalo waterfront.
We believe celebrations should feel personal, private, and unforgettable. That’s why every cruise is completely your own: your drinks, your music, your people, and your atmosphere. Whether you’re planning a relaxing ride or a high-energy party, your group gets a private boat and captain dedicated entirely to your experience.
Saloon Boat is operated by Bavista LLC, the team behind Buffalo Pedal Tours-serving Buffalo since 2014.
