What you'll do:

Your crew, your playlist, your sandbar. Book the whole Barefoot Tiki boat for a 3-hour private cruise on Sarasota Bay. You get the tiki bar under its thatched roof, a licensed captain and a sandbar stop where everyone can wade, swim, float and take the group photo.

Your captain handles the boat while you handle the fun. Gather around the bar, plug your playlist into the 500-watt Bluetooth sound system, and keep the drinks cold in our three coolers (two are built into the bar). Bring your own drinks and snacks. We supply the ice and bottled water.

Unlike most tiki boats, ours has a private restroom on board, so nobody has to cut the sandbar day short. It's an easy pick for bachelorette weekends, milestone birthdays and anyone who wants the boat to themselves.

Staying on Siesta Key? Private charters include a free pickup at Nora Patterson Park on Siesta Key, or at Ken Thompson Park near Lido and Longboat Key.
