Questions?
We have answers.

Do you offer boat rentals?

We do not offer bareboat rentals. To ensure a completely relaxing and stress-free experience, all DFW Boat Ride vessels are fully captained and professionally crewed. 
You just step aboard and enjoy the views!

Can we bring our own drinks and food?

Absolutely! All of our cruises are BYOB, and small to medium coolers are welcome. We provide complimentary water, sodas, juices, and cups of ice. You are also highly encouraged to bring a picnic basket or grab takeout from local restaurants at The Harbor Rockwall.

What is the dress code?

Casual, comfortable attire is perfect for a relaxing day on the lake. For your safety, we strongly recommend wearing soft-soled shoes. Please note that bathing suits and see-through clothing are not permitted on any of our vessels.

What do I need to bring to board the boat?

To ensure a smooth and timely departure, every passenger must present a matching government-issued photo ID and have a signed safety waiver completed prior to boarding.

Are tickets refundable if I miss the boat?

All ticket purchases are non-refundable, and our boats depart exactly on time. We highly recommend arriving at The Harbor Rockwall 30 to 45 minutes early so you have plenty of time to park, relax, and find the boarding dock without rushing.
