Our story
Dock Hopper / Winchester, Tennessee
We loved the food and atmosphere at a waterfront restaurant. Getting to it was the hard part. That experience set Dock Hopper in motion—and today the ride is an enjoyable part of the outing for everyone.
01 / Why we began
“My husband had mobility issues and couldn’t navigate the stairs to the restaurant. We loved the food and the atmosphere, so we knew there had to be others in the same position.”The idea behind Dock Hopper
One difficult arrival sparked a new idea.
The restaurant was worth the trip. We started thinking about another way to approach it: from the water. Dock Hopper grew from that personal experience into a courtesy boat ride anyone can choose for a waterfront meal.

03 / Where the idea goes today
From Winchester City Park to the waterfront table.
Dock Hopper offers courtesy rides from Winchester City Park to Drafts and Watercrafts. The boat ride takes approximately three minutes—just enough time to feel the pace change before you settle in for the food and the company.
Schedule your ride online ahead of your outing, then make the waterside arrival part of the plans.
