About this Experience
What you’ll do:
Why go bar hopping when you can hop on a bar? Get ready for a one-of-a-kind floating tiki boat party that’s as Instagrammable as it is unforgettable. Whether you're toasting with mimosas, jamming out to your crew’s playlist, or snapping selfies on the water, this 6-passenger cruise is all about good vibes and better memories (larger groups can split onto multiple tikis).
Choose your cruise style:
The Sandbar-Swim Tiki Cruise departs from three convenient Key West locations and lasts 2–3 hours, depending on the location and cruise selected.
The Sunset Tiki Cruise lets you sip your favorite drink as the sky lights up with the colors of a magnificent Key West sunset, with cruise times varying throughout the year.
Both options are BYOB, so bring your favorite beverages along for the ride! Book individual seats on our public tours or reserve the entire boat for a private experience.

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, departing from our Mac’s place location. 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). The other locations only have the option for one tiki (up to 6 guests).
ARE THERE AVAILABLE LIFE JACKETS ON BOARD?
Yes, there is a type 1 PFD for every passenger. Along with all the coast guard requirements for the vessel including a first aid kit.
DROP OFF AND PICK UP LOCATIONS?
The city of Key West and Key West Bight does NOT permit us to drop off or pick up guests anywhere except from our dock spaces at Mac’s place, SchoonerWharf Bar and Hurricane Hole Marina. Please plan accordingly!
GROUP RESERVATIONS?
Since 6 persons are the maximum number of guests permitted per tiki… If you are splitting your group it is recommended that you make reservations together under 1 name so that we know you are together! Payments can be split if you call to make the reservations. The online booking system might separate your party if you book your party separately in order to fill the tikis to their maximum capacity of 6 guests each

WHO IS MY CAPTAIN?
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.
DO YOUR BOATS OPERATE IN THE RAIN?
We do operate in the rain as the tiki boats have a roof. However, the captain can decide at anytime to cancel due to conditions (typically high winds or thunder storms). We operate under USCG's rules. The USCG does not advise going out if wind speeds exceed 20 knots. If you are unable to reschedule and still want to go on one of our cruises, the captains may under certain conditions can go out to cruise in calmer water which is protected by islands or mangroves.
SHOULD I TIP MY CAPTAIN?
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!
DO YOU PROVIDE FOOD AND DRINK?
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 from Mac’s Place, Schooner Wharf Bar, or Hurricane Hole or bring them from elsewhere to bring aboard.
WHAT ABOUT RESTROOMS?
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!
