About this Experience

What you'll do:

Kick off your shoes, grab your favorite boat drink, and step onto your own private tiki bar—complete with tropical decor, comfy seating, great music, and all the good vibes you want for your weekend. Your captain will guide you through the calm, protected waters of Sarasota Bay and Robert’s Bay, cruising around Siesta Key, Lido Key, and Longboat Key. Along the way, you’ll sip, laugh, dance, snap photos, and keep an eye out for dolphins, manatees, and whatever else decides to pop by and say hello. It’s relaxed, fun, and totally effortless—from the moment you board until you’re back on shore.
