Mornings on the Crystal Coast are truly magical. The air is cooler before the afternoon heat sets in, the water is often calmer, and the sunrise—if you’d like to schedule an earlier cruise to catch it—is simply breathtaking. It’s the perfect time to soak in the beauty of the coast. In the mornings, you might even spot the wild horses closer to the water for an unforgettable view! Meet our captain bright and early either at the Rhumbar or the Boathouse at the Beaufort Hotel and step aboard our tiki boat. Bring along your choice on your choice of a morning drink, alcoholic or non-alcoholic, and enjoy a peaceful start to the day on the water.

Items Worth Considering:
Parking varies based on the pickup location selected. Please refer to your confirmation emails or call us directly for the best parking tips!
The tiki boat has a cruising speed at around 4 to 6 mph.
All our Captains have been vetted and trained through the U.S Coast Guard requirements. All captains have been chosen based on their experience with boating and knowledge of the area.
We do operate in the rain as the tiki boats have a roof. However, the captain can decide at any time to cancel due to conditions (typically high winds or thunder storms). We operate under USCG’s rules. The USCG does not advise going out if wind speeds exceed 20 knots. If you are unable to reschedule and still want to go on one of our cruises, the captains may under certain conditions decide to cruise in calmer water which is protected by islands.
Our Captains do work for tips, so gratuity is greatly appreciated. We suggest a 20% gratuity (on the regular price if using discount) for our captains… they are very experienced, knowledgeable, and work hard to ensure your safety and to provide an amazing tiki experience for our guests!
Besides relaxing with a cold drink we can pretty much book anything you can imagine. From bachelorette and bachelor parties, corporate meetings, birthday parties, weddings… you name it and we will try to make it work. Give us a call for special requests or large group (over 6 persons) reservations. If you are having a wedding reception, corporate event, or other function we can do short trips of 15-20 minutes picking up from a convenient location so all your guests can enjoy!
Our tikis are NOT equipped with restrooms. We strongly encourage you to use the restroom before leaving the dock. So please do NOT drink more than you are able to “hold” while on your tour!
Yes, we do have bluetooth-capable speaker systems that can sync to your phone and choice of music.
