Frequently Asked Questions

  The US Coast Guard regulations for our tiki boats is 6 people plus  crew…. this includes children… NO EXCEPTIONS! For larger groups, you may  rent additional tikis and cruise together. We are NOT permitted to  tether together while cruising, however if anchored on a swim stop we  may tether together for larger groups (over 6 persons).


 Our tikis are NOT equipped with restrooms. We strongly encourage you to  use the restroom before leaving the dock. So please do NOT drink more  than you are able to “hold” while on your tour! 


 YES children are allowed. We don’t want them to miss out cruisin on the  tiki boat. Children under the age of 12 are required to wear a life  jacket which we have on board or you can bring your own (recommended).  Please let us know if you plan to bring children so that we can make the  appropriate accommodations for life jackets. USCG only allows 6  passengers per boat… children are considered a person regardless of  their age. This rule is not negotiable, sorry! We also recommend when  bringing children on board to reserve a private charter… if small  children become fussy it may ruin other passenger’s experience. ​  


   We do provide coolers with ice, cups, water and sodas. We do not serve  any food or other drinks, however you may bring any snacks, food, or  alcoholic beverages or you can also purchase your food and drinks and  bring them aboard. 


 Bookings are typically non-refundable. A minimum of 48 hours prior to  your cruise is required for all cancelations, if less than 48 hours  notice is given, you will receive a gift certificate for a future  cruise. We reserve the right to cancel any tour at any time due to  weather, safety, mechanical or behavioral issues. If your tour is  canceled due to weather, you will be given a rain check to re-book at  another time (this excludes behavioral, along with alcohol related  cancellations – these circumstances will never be rescheduled or  refunded). For weather related issues, we may “wait out” a brief shower,  reschedule for another day during your stay, or refund if unable to  reschedule. “NO SHOWS” will NEVER be refunded or rescheduled!  


 The tiki boat has a cruising speed at around 4 to 6 mph. 


  Our Captains do work for tips, so gratuity is greatly appreciated. We  suggest a 20% gratuity (on the regular price if using discount) for our  captains… they are very experienced, knowledgeable, and work hard to  ensure your safety and to provide an amazing tiki experience for our  guests! 


    All our Captains have been vetted and trained thru the U.S Coast Guard requirements.
​All captains have been chosen based on their experience with boating and knowledge of the area.
