What the press has been saying about Motörhead’s Motörboat:
“Anthrax, Lemmy Kilmister, hundreds of metalheads and a naked, inflatable doll make the Motörboat cruise completely unforgettable…Motörboat brought heavy metal to the high seas and featured a previously unseen combination of gambling, belly-flopping, shirtlessness, guitar soloing and even yoga.”
–Dana Yavin, RollingStone.com, September 29, 2014
“The Motörhead Motorboat Cruise may have lost Megadeth, but they gained something even more star-studded in the form of Metal Allegiance. The all-star jam was the talk of the Motorboat Cruise, as a who’s who of metal musicians ripped through a number of classic metal and rock favorites.”
–Liz Ramanand, Loudwire.com, September 30, 2014
“The stage setup of the cruise allowed fans an up-close experience with their favorite metal masters. And most artists could be spotted mingling amongst the other passengers, with very little–if any–crazed fanaticism.”
–Brigette Supernova, Examiner.com, September 29, 2014
