Additional Information

You will be onboard a beautiful handcrafted ORIGINAL CRUISIN TIKI with a licensed USCG Captain. This trip will cruise you around the Grand Lagoon area, St. Andrews State Park, where dolphins often swim up and show off close to the tiki, before pulling up near a white sand beach to anchor. You will have plenty of time to be in the shallow water soaking up the sun while your captain keeps the music going and the beverages cool. Try a little stand up paddling on a YOLO float or snorkel at your leisure. It is BYOB - we provide a cooler, ice, cups/shot glasses, bottle openers, a corkscrew and chilled bottled water. Tikis carry 6 passengers each and we have two so we can accommodate your party of up to twelve. Perfect for couples, families and batchelor/ette parties! This also a great alternative when beach rip tides are strong. The captain determines the beach sandbar location based on marine traffic and currents. Everyone can enjoy themselves, we just ask that you drink responsibly.

An experience you definitely want to try!! - Captain Dalton was super nice, respectful, and fun to hang out with. He helped make my daughter’s 18th birthday a day she will never forget. We enjoyed the ride and going round and round on the tiki. He helped us find sand dollars. Captain Dalton, you are AWESOME! Thanks for a really good time. Can’t wait to do it again!!

Chill time - The trip to shell island did not disappoint and we had an amazing afternoon. We saw dolphins and brought back some souvenir shells. The captain had a great playlist and seemed very knowledgeable on some of the local history.

Terrific Tiki Time - My 15 year old daughter and I went on this cruise. It was fantastic! I love that there were only 6 people plus our captain, Dalton. The weather didn’t allow us to go to Shell Island, but we saw dolphins. Dalton got out with us and found sand dollars and other sea creatures. He was very knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. If you are looking for a smaller, more intimate setting, I highly recommend this. No one on our boat drank but we still had a great time! Captain Dalton was great!

Excellent Adventure - Had an amazing time, Captain Edward was very knowledgeable, friendly, and was fun to hang out with. We were able to see dolphins, hermit crabs, found a few sand dollars, found some scary looking under water creatures. If we could have stayed on the boat another 3 hours with the Captain we would not have complained. Excellent tour, be sure to book it for your next adventure. Thanks Captain Edward!
