Custom & Special Occasion Charters

Some moments deserve more than a restaurant reservation.

You bring the occasion; we'll bring the magic.

However You Celebrate

Your day, built around the moment

There's something about the water that makes a celebration stick. Maybe it's the sunset, the privacy, or the way everyone relaxes the second the dock disappears behind you. Whatever you're marking, we'll shape the whole day around it — and handle every detail so you don't have to.

Tell us who's coming, what you're celebrating and the feeling you're after. We'll pick the right boat, map a route to the prettiest spots, and help arrange the extras — balloons, bubbly, flowers, a photographer, a charcuterie spread. Then your captain takes the wheel so you can be fully present for the people who matter.

  • A private boat — only your group aboard
  • Décor, catering & photography on request
  • Routes & timing tailored to your event
  • A captain who plans the day with you

I proposed at sunset on a private sandbar and the captain helped me pull off the whole surprise — even snapped the photos. She said yes! Could not have dreamed up a better moment.

We did a family reunion with three generations aboard. The kids saw dolphins, the grandparents relaxed in the shade, and everyone keeps talking about it. So easy to plan.

We scattered my dad's ashes at his favorite spot. The crew was so kind and gave us all the time and space we needed. A beautiful, peaceful goodbye. Thank you.

Good to Know

Special occasion questions

Everything you need to plan the perfect day. Still wondering? Give us a call.

What kinds of occasions do you host?

Just about anything: proposals and engagements, birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions, graduations and retirements, celebrations of life, corporate and team outings — or no occasion at all. Tell us what you're marking and we'll tailor the day.

Can you help with décor, catering or a photographer?

Yes. You're welcome to bring your own balloons, banners, flowers, food and drinks, and we can help arrange catering, a photographer or special touches on request. Just ask when you book.

How many guests can come?

Anywhere from an intimate two to up to 26 aboard the tiki boat. We'll match the right vessel to your group size and the vibe you're after.

Do you do proposals and surprises?

All the time, and we love them. Tell us your plan and your captain will help with the timing, the perfect spot, and discreetly capturing the moment so you can stay in it.

Can you handle a celebration of life?

Yes, with great care. We offer quiet, private cruises to a meaningful spot, at your pace, with room for words, music, a flower ceremony or simply being together. Call us and we'll handle it gently.

How far ahead should we book?

The sooner the better — sunset slots and weekends fill quickly, especially in season. Reach out as soon as you have a date in mind and we'll start planning.
