Custom 30‑ft Tiki Boat with Onboard Facilities
The cruise takes place aboard a custom 30‑foot Tiki Boat equipped for comfort on short charters—there’s an onboard restroom and an island‑style layout built for socializing and sightlines across the water.
Bring Your Own Drinks—and a Blender
This is a BYO (bring‑your‑own‑beverage) experience: you can bring drinks and snacks aboard, and the operator supplies a blender so you can mix cocktails or mocktails while you cruise.
Designed for Private Large Groups (7–12)
The offering is set up for private large groups of roughly 7–12 people. For these bookings the charter is a bareboat arrangement: you rent the vessel and must provide a qualified captain, though the operator will provide a list of USCG‑licensed Master Captains you can hire during checkout.
