What is a sailgate

The ultimate
Nashville tailgate,
on the water

A Sailgate is exactly what it sounds like: the Nashville tailgate, moved onto the water. Pregame at Lock One Marina, then cruise the Cumberland to Nissan Stadium with a custom Hattie B’s menu, cold drinks in hand, and the skyline rolling past.

No coolers to haul, no parking downtown, no surge priced rideshares. The boat has a full service bar, a restroom and comfortable seating, and it docks a short walk from the stadium gates. After the game, hop back aboard for the cruise back to the marina, where your car is waiting.

One ticket, one seamless game day, whether you bleed Titans blue or you are in town for the big college matchup.

Questions

Sailgate FAQ

What is a sailgate?

A Sailgate is the ultimate Nashville tailgate, reimagined on the water. You park at Lock One Marina, enjoy the pregame on land, then board for an hour and a half cruise down the Cumberland River with a custom Hattie B’s menu and a beer and seltzer package included. We dock at the East Bank Riverfront Docks next to Nissan Stadium, and your round trip ride back to the marina after the game is included.

How much does a Sailgate ticket cost?

Sailgate tickets are $130 per person, all in. Taxes, fees and gratuity are already included, so nothing is added at checkout. That covers the hour and a half pregame cruise, a custom Hattie B’s menu, a beer and seltzer package, and round trip transportation to and from the stadium docks. Parking at Lock One Marina is the one thing purchased separately, at a flat $25 per vehicle.

Is parking included?

Parking is not included in the Sailgate ticket. It is a flat $25 per vehicle, the same lot and the same rate as our Game Day Water Taxi. Lots at Lock One Marina open well before departure so you can settle in before you board. For vehicles with more than two axles, including RVs, campers, buses and trailers, email [email protected] before you book.

What food and drinks are included?

Your ticket includes a custom Hattie B’s menu with their famous hot chicken alongside biscuits, grits and more, plus a beer and seltzer package for the cruise. A full service bar is on board if you want something outside that package.

Because of our liquor license we cannot allow outside food or drinks, grills or coolers. Concessions are available on site at the marina, and select game days feature sponsors, activations and yard games.

What time does the Sailgate depart?

Boats depart Lock One Marina around two hours before kickoff and spend an hour and a half on the water, so a noon Titans kickoff means a morning cruise and the 6:30 pm Music City Kickoff means an evening one. The exact departure and lot times for your game are listed when you book, so double check your ticket. Please arrive early. The boat leaves on schedule to keep the rest of the game day running on time. Our cruise coordinators can be reached at (615) 601-1464 with any game day questions.

Do you only run Sailgates for Titans games?

Not anymore. Sailgate runs for every Titans home game and for select events at Nissan Stadium. In 2026 that includes the Music City Kickoff, Ole Miss vs Louisville on Sunday, September 6, with a 6:30 pm kickoff. Same marina, same Hattie B’s menu, same beer and seltzer package, same short walk from the docks to the gates.

How do I get back to my car after the game?

Your return trip is included. Boats run back to Lock One Marina 15 minutes after the first half ends, 15 minutes after the third quarter, immediately after the game, and one final regular return one hour after the game ends.

How many people can go on one Sailgate?

Each sailgate is capped at 40 spots. If your group wants the whole boat to itself, ask about a private Sailgate. Call us at (615) 601-1464 or send the form on this page and we will build one around your group.

What happens if it rains?

We cruise rain or shine. The Sailgate vessel is about 75 percent covered and we add custom enclosures if the weather turns, with an open bow and lounge style seating so you can take in the skyline when it is nice. If you want a fully covered ride, our Game Day Water Taxi is 100 percent covered. In severe weather your departure time may shift so we can keep everyone safe, and we will let you know at least one hour before departure.

Is there an age requirement?

Yes. Sailgate is a 21 and over event and every guest needs a valid government issued ID to board. If you are bringing family with kids, our Game Day Water Taxi welcomes all ages and gets you to the same stadium docks.

Can I book a Sailgate for a company or a group?

Yes. Groups can book a private Sailgate and have the boat to themselves with catering and a bar package included. Call (615) 601-1464 or email [email protected] and we will put a quote together.
