Teambuilding & Private Events

Full-site buyouts at Riva Row Boat House provide exclusive access to all watercraft and waterways, allowing groups to paddle, pedal, and rotate through activities without public traffic. Pricing and minimum booking times are structured by group size to ensure everyone has adequate time on the water and the experience runs smoothly from start to finish.

Group Size Breakdown — Full-Site Buyouts

1–30 People – One Hour Minimum
Ideal for small private gatherings looking for flexibility and exclusivity.
These groups can comfortably enjoy the facility in a shorter window, with the option to extend time as desired.

31–60 People – Two Hour Minimum (Most Popular)
Designed for team outings and mid-sized corporate events.
This group size allows for efficient rotations, minimal waiting, and a complete on-water experience when booked for the recommended duration.

61–90 People – Three Hour Minimum
Best suited for large corporate or organizational events.
These bookings are structured with longer minimum times to accommodate rotations, manage flow, and ensure all participants are actively engaged throughout the event.

Swan-only buyouts provide exclusive access to all Swan Pedal Boats on the upper waterway. This option is ideal for groups that want a relaxed, iconic experience focused entirely on swan boats. Minimum booking times are set by group size to ensure everyone has enough time on the water without long waits between rides.

Group Size Breakdown — Swan-Only Buyouts

A shorter booking window still allows for meaningful time on the water.

31–60 People – Two Hour Minimum
Designed for mid-sized groups where rotation becomes necessary.
Additional time ensures participants are not standing on the dock waiting for boats.

61–90 People – Three Hour Minimum
Intended for large group outings.
Longer minimum booking times are required to accommodate structured rotations and ensure full participation across the group.

Facilitated team building at Riva Row Boat House is designed to keep groups engaged, active, and connected throughout their time on site. These guided activities are led by trained staff and intentionally layered alongside on-water rotations to reduce idle time, maintain energy, and create shared moments of collaboration and problem-solving.

Rather than functioning as a standalone attraction, facilitated team building complements private and corporate events by adding structure, purpose, and continuity—especially for larger groups where not all participants are on the water at the same time.
