About
The sunrises and mornings on the Crystal Coast are some of the prettiest times of the day. The weather hasn’t yet reached the heat it’ll reach in the afternoon, the sunrise (if you want to leave that early) is gorgeous, and the water is often much smoother than it is in the afternoon. It’s a beautiful time of the day, meant to be appreciated. That’s why we offer our Morning Mimosa Tiki Cruise. Our new Gallant's Channel (at the Maritime Museum Annex) makes parking extra convenient - but please use restrooms before arriving as our restrooms are very basic (a porta potty) at this location. Meet our captain at the dock - bright and early, and get ready to experience the beauty of the Crystal Coast from the deck of our tiki boat while you have a morning drink, alcoholic or non-alcoholic.
