My in laws were coming in from New York and I had been telling them about Pedal Boat Pub. They thought it sounded like a lot of fun and all booked a time to go while they were here. 4 days before their tour, there was a death in the family, and they had to cancel. My mother in law called and spoke with one of the owners and she said that their policy is that she would open up the seats and if they rebooked them she would get her money back or if there was bad weather she would get her money back. Well the owner never did open up the seats we checked multiple times throughout those days. I was feeling so horrible that they were dealing with a death and were going to loose hundreds of dollars.

That's why we reached out to Marcella of the Pedal Boat Pub.

Thanks again to Marcella and Zack of the Pedal Boat Pub for giving us an opportunity to showcase Lake Orion and make a positive connection...

Cheap uber ride to pick up point and back!! #1. This boat is manned by a SOBER/DD CAPTAIN! So the 1âreviewer below obviously has no idea what they are talking about. I own a boat (up north on a different lake) and as we all know... most boaters drink all day and drive their boats! THIS BOAT IS THE SAFE WAY TO HAVE FUN ON A LAKE!! Also each ride is 1.5 hours...so honestly even the PASSENGERS pedalling for power really don't get crazy drunk! Come on! Haters will hate...for those out for good/safe time! #2 I'll be booking again! #3 You should try it! I went with a group of friends, but would be a Great...
