Ben & Cecily (and Team) were extremely helpful throughout the entire process. We planned a surprise 30th birthday for my sister and it was a major success! The boat was the best time, and we were able to bring our own catered food onto the boat (pizza's, wraps, and apps). Highly recommend as this was truly a great night seeing the city on the water! Ben & Cecily were also more than helpful in getting back to my mom, my wife, and myself with any questions that we had! I would definitely recommend going on Beacon Tiki Boats to anyone!

We had our Q2 company outing out on the Beacon Tiki a few weeks back. Ben and his crew gave us an amazing time out on the water for a perfect night! The bar is stocked with great cold beverages and you can bring out your own food with your crew. Bathroom is onboard which is great for when you’re out on the water for 1.5 hours. Can’t beat the views. Absolutely recommend doing this with friends or with co-workers for company outings!!

Fantastic time celebrating my wife's 60th birthday on Beacon TikiBoats. The staff were so accommodating. We were able to bring our own food onboard. Great variety of drinks to purchase.
