FAQs

Where are Floating Kneads’ Be Well Boats Located?

We have two lively yet relaxing locations for you to enjoy your private Be Well Boat.

Our dockside Be Well Boat is located at the Baltimore Boating Center nestled on the Sue Creek in Baltimore County, Maryland at 2015 Turkey Point Rd. This award-winning marina is home to the Middle River’s premier waterfront restaurant and bar, Charly’s. If you’re feeling active, you can also visit our neighbor B’More Sup for paddle boarding tours and experiences.

For our open water and Hart-Miller Island Be Well Boat experiences, we depart from Canton Waterfront Park at 3001 Boston Street, Baltimore, Maryland, 21224. The park offers eight acres of amazing views of the Baltimore Harbor and an easily accessible recreational area for picnics, festivals, exercising, and dining.

Do your Locations Have Parking?

Both of our locations have free onsite parking for your convenience.

Are the Be Well Boats Available Year-Round?

Our Be Well Boats float year-round for dockside experiences, thanks to air and heating units.

Open water experiences are available dependent on weather conditions.

Can I Spend the Night on the Be Well Boats?

Our Be Well Boat Club members have exclusive access to book overnight Be Well Boat Stays. Upon signing up for one of our two membership options, members receive details for making overnight bookings.

Our Be Well Boats benefit from a natural gentle sway with the water’s currents and breezes that enhance our members’ journey into deep relaxation. For those sensitive to slight motion, we recommend using Dramamine or a Relief Band for added comfort.

Please arrive to your booked Be Well Boat 10 minutes prior to your scheduled service. If you are receiving a massage, please come showered / bathed. We provide robes and towels for these treatments.

Shoes are not allowed on our Be Well Boats and will be collected and stored at the boat entrance.

Can I Use Health Insurance for Be Well Boat Treatments?

If you are suffering from ongoing pain, massage therapy may be an underutilized or missing and important component of a comprehensive treatment plan. Depending on your current health insurance or employee benefit plan, it’s possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for these services.

We recommend asking these questions to your provider when discussing your benefits:

Does my health insurance plan include massage benefits?
Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
Does my plan limit how many massage treatments per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
Do I need written approval / a referral from my primary care physician or a specific diagnosis in order for massage services to be covered?
