Ready to book a tiki boat tampa cruise tour and want to know which to choose? We’ve got you covered! With its beautiful bay waters, vibrant downtown, and beachy vibes, Tampa is the perfect place for a relaxing tiki boat cruise.

Cruising along in the sunshine with drinks in hand on your own floating tiki bar is one of the best ways to experience Tampa. The city offers several tiki boat tour companies that allow you to soak up the sights from a unique perspective onboard a kitschy, tropical-themed vessel.

In this post, I’ll highlight the top 3 tiki cruises to book for a memorable and fun-filled day on the water in Tampa. Whether you want short or long tours, are traveling solo or in a group, I’ll overview the sights, perks, and booking details to help you choose the ideal tiki boat for your needs. Get ready to set sail on a one-of-a-kind Tampa adventure!

Why You Should Book a Tiki Boat Cruise

Before reviewing the top tiki boat companies, let’s look at some of the benefits these tours offer:

• Unique way to explore Tampa – See the downtown skyline, beaches, and waterfront homes from the bay rather than land. It’s a cool perspective.
• Built-in entertainment – Many tiki boats have bluetooth speakers to play music. Some are even BYOB so you can enjoy drinks onboard. The festive boats make it easy to have fun!
• Social experience – Tiki cruises are lively and social, perfect for groups. Split the cost by booking as a bachelor/bachelorette party, birthday gathering, or corporate event.
• Relaxing – Gentle cruising along the calm bay waters amidst the sunshine and views is relaxing. It’s a laidback way to enjoy Tampa’s scenery.
• Photo ops – Tiki boats make for awesome Instagrammable moments! Get pics of your group with Tampa as the backdrop.

Choosing the Right Tiki Boat Tampa Tour

With different-sized vessels departing from various spots around Tampa Bay, there are several factors to consider when picking your tiki cruise:

Cruise Length – Some tours are 90 minutes while others last for hours. Choose based on how long you want to be onboard.

Group Size – If traveling solo or as a couple, a public cruise with others may be fine. For a private experience, book a full boat charter.

Departure Point – Boats leave from downtown Tampa, St. Pete or Clearwater so pick what’s convenient.

Amenities – Many boats have bathrooms, BYOB allowances, and sound systems. Consider which features will enhance your experience.

With those factors in mind, let’s look at the top tiki cruise companies and boats to choose from for a fun day on the water!

FAQ About Tampa Tiki Boat Cruises

If you’re considering a Tampa tiki boat tour, you probably have some questions. Here I’ll answer some of the most frequently asked questions:

Are tiki cruises family-friendly?

Definitely! Most tiki boats welcome families with kids. Some require life jackets for younger children. Call ahead about policies.

Can we bring our own food and drinks?

Many tiki boats allow BYOB alcohol and food. Some provide coolers, ice, and non-alcoholic drinks. Check with the company first about what you can bring.

How far in advance should I book?

For peak times like spring break or weekends, book 1-2 months out. For off-peak, 1-2 weeks is fine. Private charters book up faster.

Private charters ensure the boat is just for your group. Public cruises are more affordable but less exclusive.

Most tiki boats do not allow pets for safety reasons. Service animals may be accommodated if arranged in advance.

What should I wear/bring?

Wear beachy, casual attire. Bring sunscreen, hats, sunglasses. Pack towels and swimsuits if hopping off at sandbars. Bring plastic cups for drinks.
