We’re called Tiki Tavern Nautica, but we’re strictly BYOB. Our boat features bar seating and a wraparound cabana sofa for relaxing at sea. For private parties, we offer Dock and Dine service with menus from local restaurants and reserved seating for your group. Plus, your captain is always on the lookout for dolphins, swimming spots, and more.

Yes! We have clean restrooms at the marina, and our boat is also equipped with a comfortable bathroom, including a shower to rinse off salt water.

Absolutely. We have a Type I PFD (life jacket) for every passenger, along with all U.S. Coast Guard–required safety gear, including a first aid kit.

We offer convenient pick-up and drop-off locations near plenty of restaurants and local shops. A popular spot is Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks Marina, located next to Dock’s Waterfront Bar and Grill. Complimentary parking is available right next to the dock.

Yes. Routes may change due to weather, tides, U.S. Coast Guard restrictions, or the captain’s discretion. Your safety always comes first, and we’ll still make sure you have a great time.

Yes, children are welcome! Tiki Tavern Nautica offers a private, family-friendly experience. Kids under 10 must wear a life jacket at all times (we provide them, or you may bring your own). Please let us know in advance if children will be joining so we can have the right sizes ready. For families with kids under 12, we recommend booking a private charter.

The boat cruises at about 20 mph—fast enough to move quickly if needed, but smooth and steady so you can enjoy the view.

Same-day bookings are non-refundable. We reserve the right to cancel at any time due to weather, safety, mechanical, or behavioral issues. No-shows cannot be refunded or rescheduled.

Yes, we operate rain or shine since our Tiki boats are covered. However, the captain may cancel in the case of high winds or thunderstorms. If conditions allow, we may also adjust routes to calmer waters near islands or mangroves.

Our captains work for tips only. A gratuity of at least 20% is suggested and greatly appreciated—they are highly skilled, knowledgeable, and committed to making your trip unforgettable.

You can book for 2 hours, 3 hours (back-to-back 90 minutes), 4 hours, or a full 8-hour day. Most bookings can be extended during your trip. For special events or custom packages, call us to discuss options.

Almost anything you can dream up! Popular options include pub crawls, treasure hunts, sunset cruises, bachelorette/bachelor parties, birthdays, weddings, corporate events, sandbar hopping, and dolphin or manatee watching. Special requests are always welcome—just give us a call.

Yes! We always have island music playing when you board and depart, but you’re welcome to connect your own playlist through our Bluetooth speaker. We also provide fun Jamaican Me Crazy instruments if you’re in the mood for a jam session!

We are a BYOB charter, but for added convenience, you can preorder food and drinks to be delivered directly to our dock before departure.
