Golden Hour Glide: Sunset Waters

There’s nothing quite like golden hour on the Petaluma River — and during this special summer evening, The Floathouse stays open late so you can soak it all in.

Rent a boat, board, or water bike and explore the river at your own pace during a rare high tide. Paddle along lively Water St. and wave to folks dining or strolling downtown, or head upstream into the peaceful, winding heart of Petaluma’s original waterway. You can even glide under the iconic D St. Bridge toward the city’s edge and the open parkland beyond. A rising tide lifts all boats — and all spirits.

Whether you're visiting for the weekend or just discovering a new way to enjoy Petaluma, this evening on the water promises a beautiful blend of nature, charm, and summer magic. Choose from a variety of beginner-friendly crafts, including:

Canoes
Rowboats
Water bikes
SUPs & stand-up pedal boards
Hobie pedal kayaks & paddle kayaks

Advance reservations are encouraged. Book your after-hours adventure online or walk on up and choose your craft!
