Frequently
asked questions


How many guests can enjoy the tiki cruise and how much does it cost? 
The USCG regulation for our tiki boat is six people per boat plus crew. This includes children. We have two 6-person tikis, and you can schedule both tikis and have a party for up to 12 guests total. We wish we could squeeze in one or two extras, but we have to remain compliant with these rules.  

When you reserve both tikis, 12 guests maximum can enjoy a tandem tiki experience!

Two-hour cruises cost $75 per person when booked individually. We offer a full-boat discount of $50, which decreases the cost to $66 per person when you book one entire boat ($400) for six guests.


How safe is the boat and my time on the bay? 
The tiki boat is extremely safe and fully compliant with all USCG requirements. The boat is equipped with a life jacket for every guest, fire extinguishers and a first aid kit. In addition, all of our captains are certified by the USCG to operate charters and are experienced boaters with vast knowledge of the area. 

How fast does the tiki boat go?
The tiki boat has a cruising speed of 4 to 6 mph. We’re not going anywhere fast, which allows for a leisurely cruise on the bay and plenty of photo opportunities! 

How long is the cruise? 
All standard tours are two hours. Custom tours can also be arranged by calling 833.TIKISRB if you want more tiki time or a party at a local beach or sandbar. Besides relaxing with a cold drink and letting our captains worry about navigating, we can help you celebrate bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthdays, gender reveals, corporate meetings, girls or guys day out, or a romantic night for you and your partner. 


Are children allowed on the tiki boat?
The tiki boat is fun for all guests! Regardless of age, children count toward the tiki boat’s six-person capacity. USCG regulations require children under the age of 13 to wear a life jacket while onboard, so please let us know the ages of all children in your party. You are also welcome to bring your own children’s life jacket (recommended) if you have one.  


Do you provide food and beverages?
This is a BYOB cruise and we encourage our guests to bring their beverage and food of choice to make it the happiest of hours aboard the tiki. We do not provide coolers but feel free to bring your own. You must be 21 to drink alcohol on the tiki boat, and our captains require ID for anyone wishing to consume. 


Is there music onboard?
We have an incredible Bluetooth-enabled four-speaker Kicker sound  system for you to sync your phone or other device to so that you can play your favorite jams. It’s not a party without some great tunes! Or if you prefer we can play music for you off of one of our playlists.


How about bathrooms? 
Our tikis are NOT equipped with bathrooms, and we strongly encourage our guest to use the restroom before departure. Take a leaky before you tiki! 


What happens if it rains?
Our tiki boats are fully covered and a little summer rain never spoiled any good tiki party! Our captains pay close attention to the weather forecast and can decide at any time to cancel if conditions become unsafe…rain does not make for unsafe conditions! We may wait out a passing storm that may delay departure. The safety of our guests is our number one priority. 


Should I tip my captain?
Our captains work for tips, so gratuity is always appreciated! We suggest 20% gratuity on the price of your tiki cruise. Our experienced and knowledgeable captains work hard to ensure your safety and to provide an amazing tiki experience for our guests. Our tikis can tip….so can you!


What is the cancellation policy?
Customers will receive a full refund in case of operator cancellation due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. We reserve the right to cancel any tour at any time due to weather, safety, mechanical or behavioral issues. If WE cancel your tour, you will be given a rain check to re-book at another time or be offered a full refund (this excludes behavioral- and alcohol-related cancellations).  

Guest cancellations within 48 hours of departure will be given a rain check to rebook at another time and will not be refunded. We will do our best to work with all of our guests to rebook you to another time as scheduling allows. 

No-shows will be charged full price and will not be refunded or rebooked.
