The vessel was taken over by Andrew Flavell and Dilwyn Jones earlier this year.
They have applied to Shropshire Council for a variation of the licence.
The boat is currently licensed to open from 10.30am to 11pm Mondays to Sundays but, if approved, it could open from 8am to 1am. Alcohol would be able to be served during that time and entertainment could be offered from 10am to 1am.
A decision is expected on the plan at the next Central Licensing Sub Committee on Friday at 9.30am at the Shirehall, Shrewsbury.
