Can I Bring Alcohol? Per Florida and Panama City 3181 Megacycle Ordinance, consumption of alcohol is permissible while on the commercial megacycle as a passenger! We ask that you be mindful of the quantity you bring onboard, as we have limited space and the ride is 2-hours. Cheers! Please bring your own coolers, ice, and cups! No glass containers allowed! Minors are not allowed to consume alcoholic beverages on the Megacycle. On select days/times, downtown Panama City does allow open containers as part of their Social District Ordinance. Please check with your Captain for all details.
What About Music? We do have a sound system with Bluetooth/USB adaptability available for customers to use! Public cruises may need to share DJ control or take requests so all can enjoy the tunes!
Ride Day Details! The Bookee/Group Monitor, the person who submitted the reservation, will receive an automated email with specific instructions in regards to meeting time/location, our Alcohol Policy, and Liability Waiver Forms. It is the Monitor's responsibility to relay all information to the rest of the party. We recommend arriving 20 minutes before your scheduled launch time. All rides are 2-hours, regardless if riders arrive late! Please plan ahead for traffic and parking.

Pick Up/Drop Off Location? Unless discussed prior to making a reservation, the Pick Up and Ending Location cannot be changed! We have designated areas in which the Megacycle is allowed to travel, so sometimes requests cannot be accommodated due to locations being outside of our legislated zones. Please call to suggest a change and we will do our best to accommodate!
Can I Pick Specific Stops? Please contact us so we can coordinate and make sure that we are able to accommodate your requests. Depending on time and date, each cruise may have a predetermined route. If given enough prior notice, we will try to accommodate any variations to the route; however, the Captain does reserve the right to deny suggestions the day of the cruise. Additional charges may apply depending on the request!
