Located on the southern tip of New Jersey, Cape May offers a unique coastal adventure aboard the Public Cycle Cruise's pontoon boat tours. This outing combines the laid-back pleasure of a boat cruise with the energetic vibe of a floating party as you pedal, relax, and soak in the sights of the Jersey Shore coastline. Departing from Port Marina at 954 Ocean Drive, visitors set off on a scenic two-hour journey that showcases Cape May’s charming waterfront views, historic seaside town flair, and the gentle rhythm of the Atlantic.
The Public Cycle Cruise is a standout experience on Cape May’s vibrant outdoor recreation scene, offering both leisurely sightseeing and engaging activity. Unlike a traditional boat tour, passengers actively pedal to propel the pontoon boat, creating a novel way to interact with the water and surrounding landscape. With onboard amenities such as a restroom, a sound system pumping curated music, and a cooler stocked with ice, this cruise balances comfort and fun in a way that appeals to groups, families, and those looking for a spirited outdoor excursion.
Cape May itself is famous for its Victorian architecture, birdwatching hotspots, and barrier island ecosystems, making it a compelling backdrop. The cruise offers a fresh perspective on local landmarks and coastal environments — from waterfront homes to marshy inlets where egrets and herons occasionally appear. While exploring, guests can enjoy cool ocean breezes and the shimmering water as their backdrop, making it ideal for photography or simply unwinding.
This particular tour welcomes riders of all ages, making it an inclusive experience ideal for families as well as friend groups. Safety is emphasized, with children under 12 required to wear life vests. One thing to note: the boat is not wheelchair accessible, so prospective guests should plan accordingly.
