About this Experience
What you'll do:
You'll climb aboard a floating tiki bar and cruise Fort Lauderdale's famous waterways with your crew, drinks in hand, while the city's most spectacular waterfront mansions drift by on either side.
Board the tiki at the dock – Meet your captain dockside, get settled, and set off onto Fort Lauderdale's scenic Intracoastal and canals within minutes of arrival.
Cruise past multimillion-dollar waterfront homes – Your captain narrates the landmarks and local history as you glide past some of the most iconic real estate in South Florida.
Float the sandbars – Pull up to a sandbar, step off into shallow water, and let the afternoon stretch out exactly the way it should.
Eat, drink, and play your music – You bring the drinks and food; the tiki comes stocked with ice, a cooler, and a Bluetooth speaker ready for your playlist.
Take it where you want – Ask your captain to cruise to a waterfront restaurant for dinner, or keep the party moving on the water — the route is yours to shape.
Whether you're watching other boats slow down to take pictures of yours, or you're deep into a sandbar hang with your whole crew, this is Fort Lauderdale from the water the way locals actually experience it.
Why we love it for your party:
BYOB freedom – Bring exactly what you want to drink and eat, with no bar tab running in the background.
A captain who knows the waterways – Your experienced captain handles the navigation and the local knowledge so your group can fully check out.
Customizable route – Sandbars, mansion tour, waterfront dinner stop — tell your captain what you're in the mood for and the trip adjusts around you.
Built for occasions – Birthdays, bachelorette and bachelor parties, corporate team-building, family reunions, and nights out all work equally well on the tiki.
Stable, comfortable ride – The tiki's wide, steady platform means everyone stays comfortable even if the water isn't flat calm.
