Relaxing Sunset Cruise

It was so chill and nice because there were only 5 passengers ( out of 6 total that can fit) and Captain Mike. So it was very relaxing and we had a beautiful sunset.

Terrible!

I have just had the worst experience with Tiki cruises. It started with Mike indicating that we were late. We arrived to the marina at 4:30 and inquired about where were Tiki cruises. A worker at the marina finally helped us and guided us to the boat. Upon arrival, Mike indicated that we were late and would not allow us to bring our floatation devices on the boat. Then he said he would have to make room for us and I made a comment that he didn't like and told us to get off the boat. He put us off because he had oversold the boat. It was obvious that there was no room on the boat and he offered to give us a full refund. That was completely unacceptable because we were looking forward to the excursion. It was a complete disaster and Mike is not a kind man. He is very rude and obnoxious. I would not recommend Tiki boats for your trip to Crab Island.

Captain Mike makes this an awesome experience

Captain Mike took us on a fabulous sunset cruise. Highlighting local eating establishments different houses. And history about the bay and crab Island. He stayed and showed us beautiful sunset Paws for dolphins and made it very convenient for us to take multiple pictures.

Best tour company

Josh our Captain was a great host offering cups of ice, dolphin sightings and information about the area. 2nd time having a blast with this company! Cute round boat makes this 56.9 year old think she’s on Gilligan’s Island!

Beware the fog!

Unfortunately there was dense fog rolling in. Early we could see some things, but for most of cruise we saw nothing. Once out in the bay, our captain became disoriented and did not have navigation equipment to get us back. Fortunately I had cell service and my map software got us back. In hindsight, the cruise should never have left inside the protected harbor. And the captains of these should be required to have working navigation. The tiki bar was a fun and unique experience, but the execution this trip was not very satisfying.

Sunset with dolphins

What an amazing experience. From dancing to our favorite tunes, blue water, white sand and sunset with the dolphins. Captain Sam was so much fun. Thanks for helping fulfill a bucket list item. Will definitely be back! Thanks for the wonderful memories.

Sailing into the sunset

Our guide, Capt. Chris, was super friendly. He did a great job showing us around. We were able to seen many dolphins, as well as, a double rainbow after a quick cloud burst. Would highly recommend the company and captain Chris.
