Guest love
Families can't get enough
5.0 ★ from 1,000+ happy guests
Three generations on one boat and everyone — from my 2-year-old to my 80-year-old dad — had a blast. The shade and high rails meant we could actually relax with the kids.
We did our family reunion on the Tiki — 22 of us! Cruised the bay, beached on an island, watched the sunset. The captain was incredible with the kids. Best day of the trip.
So unique — a floating tiki hut! Total shade, comfy seats, and the LED lights at sunset were magic. Brought our own snacks and drinks. Felt like our own private island.

Good to know
Tiki boat questions
How many people fit on the Tiki?
Up to 26 guests. It's always a private charter, so the boat is yours and your group's alone — perfect for families and gatherings of all sizes.
Is it safe for kids?
It was built with families in mind. The 39½-inch rails wrap the entire boat so little ones can move around safely, and we carry Coast Guard-approved life jackets in adult and child sizes. The full roof keeps everyone shaded, too.
Can we bring food and drinks?
Absolutely — BYOB and your own snacks are welcome, and there's a cooler and ice aboard. We just ask for no glass containers. Prefer not to pack? Ask us about catering options when you book.
What can we do on the cruise?
It's your day — mix and match. Cruise Naples Bay, gawk at the Port Royal estates, beach on Keewaydin Island to shell and swim, watch for dolphins, or stay out for the sunset.
How long are tiki charters?
We offer half-day and full-day private charters, plus shorter sunset cruises. See the available options and times on the booking screen, or call and we'll help you plan.
Where do we leave from?
We depart from San Marco Marina in Goodland (604 E Palm Ave) and from Naples Bay Resort & Marina (1500 5th Ave S). Your exact meeting point comes with your booking confirmation — plan to arrive about 15 minutes early.
