Reviews for Intimate Dolphin Tiki Cruise in Clearwater: BYOB & Food

We had the best time on our tiki cruise. We had two tiki boats and everyone was accommodating, from booking to the cruise. Matt and Dylan get 24 thumbs up from the 12 of us. Thank you for the wonderful time!

We had a great time with our captain, Brian, who was personable and fun. We saw dolphins, had the boat to ourselves (3) and stopped at the sandbags on the way back. Perfect way to end our day!

We had an absolutely amazing time with Cruisin' Tikis Clearwater Beach! Captain Dylan was incredible — so polite, professional, and personable. He was also very educational and super flexible in helping us plan the perfect cruise. We did the 1.5-hour Sandbar Tour, and it was definitely worth it! We saw plenty of dolphins and got to swim in and around the sandbar, which was such a unique experience. It’s a BYOB cruise, and they even had a cooler full of ice ready for us, which was a great touch. One helpful tip — the water can splash up onto the base of the tiki, so wear waterproof shoes or sandals instead of sneakers. All in all, this was one of the highlights of our Clearwater trip. Highly recommend booking a cruise with Captain Dylan and Cruisin' Tikis! 🌴🐬🍹

We had an absolutely fantastic time with Cruisin’ Tikis Clearwater! My family, boyfriend, and I were celebrating his birthday, and we did the hour and a half sandbar cruise. Honestly, I wish we had done the three-hour because it was such a blast! The customer service was top-notch, and our USCG-certified captain, Matt, was beyond awesome. He made sure we understood all the rules, prioritized our safety, and kept everything running smoothly. Matt was incredibly attentive—he even gave us the option to stop and see dolphins or head straight to the sandbar, which was a thoughtful touch. He also offered to take a family picture for us, without us even asking! We are so thankful for his thoughtfulness. We were definitely drinking a bit too much and may have made a mess with the cake, but Matt handled everything with a smile and stayed so professional and kind throughout the trip. We had such an amazing time and can’t wait to book another cruise with them! Highly recommend!

Amazing experience on a floating tiki boat! Our group of 4 had the boat all to ourselves and Captain Steve was the greatest host. He was very knowledgeable of the area, we even saw a couple dolphins! Highly recommend the sandbar ride and will definitely be doing this again next time we are in Clearwater beach. Thank you Captain Steve for the best day ever!

We had the BEST time with Cruisin’ Tikis Clearwater! The whole experience was such a blast. We were out on the water with music playing, the sun shining, and good vibes all around. Our Captain, Matt, was awesome. He was super friendly, fun, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the cruise. I highly recommend booking one of these floating tiki adventures. It’s the perfect mix of relaxing and unforgettable! 🌴🍹⚓

Cruised with Capt. Ryan, and it was the best sunset cruise I could've expected. Will definitely be going with Cruisin Tikis next time in Clearwater.

We had a great time on the Tiki sunset cruise. We ended up being the only two on the boat. Brian was a great tour guide and answered all my 50 million questions about the area, the boat, and his career. We had perfect weather and Brian let us listen to our own music on Bluetooth which made it even more enjoyable. We would definitely do this again over one of the larger boats. While it does costs more it was well worth it. They were doing construction at the marina and finding them was just a bit trickier but they are located on the far left of the marina.

This was one of our favorite activities on our Florida vacation (including Disney)! We played our own music on the Bluetooth speaker. Captain Mark showed us several spots with dolphins and a Manatee. We were able to stop for a bit to swim at a sandbar as well. He shared some info about the area and we stayed at Clearwater beach to swim and play the rest of the day. What a gorgeous area!

Myself, along with my husband and 2 other family members went out with Cruisin’ Tikis last week and had the pleasure of Matt being our captain….he was great! Extremely knowledgeable of the area and was able to show us all the neat spots along the ride - celebrity homes, unique hidden areas, and more. He even extended our cruise time slightly to allow us to have time to turn around and get closer to the dolphins we spotted at the end of the tour. Super friendly, great conversation, and just fun to be around. He made our time wonderful! Thanks Matt! This is my 2nd time using Cruisin’ Tikis and will book with them every trip I make down to FLA!
