Salt-sculpted breeze, a captain at the helm, and a cluster of palms and party-floats bobbing in crystalline water: the private Tiki-boat cruise is built around one idea — uninterrupted time on the water with your people. Operated as a private charter, the trip takes groups aboard custom-built Tiki boats for a six-hour excursion that centers on Crab Island, with games, floats and an audio system to set the mood.

THE BOAT

Private Tiki Boat Options — From 6-Passenger Craft to a 34' Party Boat

Choose intimate 6-passenger Tiki boats for small groups or reserve the 34' Tiki Boat that seats up to 30 people for a full private party charter — all depart aboard custom-built vessels with a captain and crew.

THE DESTINATION

Crab Island Hangout Time

The cruise centers on Crab Island — guests can linger on the boat, take in the shallow, clear water, and jump in to swim or float while anchored near the sandbars and shoals.

THE INCLUSIONS

What Comes with the Charter

Each private charter comes with essentials and extras: a stocked cooler with bottled water, a robust sound system, phone charging cords, plus games and Bote floats so the party keeps moving.

What the day feels like

How the Six Hours Unfold

From the dock you’ll climb aboard a custom-built Tiki boat and hand over navigation to the captain; the day is paced around cruising to Crab Island, anchoring, lounging on the boat, and slipping into the water for swims and float sessions — all designed as a private party charter for your group.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this private charter suits — based on vessel capacities and group format.

1
Large PartiesGroups up to 30 fit aboard the 34' Tiki Boat, making it suited to larger reunions or group celebrations that need one private vessel.
2
Small GroupsCouples or small friend groups can opt for the custom 6-passenger Tiki Boats for a more intimate outing with the same charter amenities.
3
Event PlannersThe private nature of the charter and available capacities make it appropriate for single-event bookings where you want to reserve a whole boat for a celebration.
4
Mixed-Ability GroupsBecause the trip runs as a private charter with a captain and crew, groups with a mix of ages and abilities can tailor the pace and activities to their needs within the boat’s capacity limits.
