What Makes the Boathouse Disney Springs Special?
Aside from the great food, picturesque on-the-water outdoor seating, and impeccable service, there’s a lot to love about the Boathouse Disney Springs. So, before we explore the menu, take a look at the treasures that make this restaurant’s atmosphere so special.
Amphicar Tours
Elevate your dining experience with an Amphicar tour!

Tours are twenty minutes long and are available from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., costing just $125 for three to four cruisers.
Dream Boats
Step back in time with the largest collection of fully restored Dream Boats at The Boathouse Disney Springs. These floating works of art date back to the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, with some reaching speeds of over 200 mph. With sleek wooden exteriors, silver horns, and oversized steering wheels, the craftsmanship of these one-of-a-kind jet boats is nothing short of a marvel.
