The Pink Pelican Tiki operates private Tiki boat cruises out of St. Pete Beach, Florida, offering intimate group charters across Tampa Bay. The operation features Tiki-style vessels (including the Pink Pelican and Pink Turtle) accommodating up to 18 guests, and each trip supports BYOB and customizable music and itineraries.

Popular stops include local sandbars and scenic waterways where passengers can swim, relax, and look for dolphins and coastal wildlife.
The Pink Pelican Tiki focuses on private, customizable experiences rather than large public charters. Crews guide guests through Tampa Bay’s coastal highlights while allowing groups to adapt routing, pacing, and on-board activities. Safety and local knowledge are emphasized through experienced captains familiar with St. Pete Beach tides, sandbars, and typical wildlife patterns.
Booking is suitable for small groups, celebrations, family outings, and bachelorette parties seeking a relaxed, private boating experience. The fleet’s maximum capacity, transparent trip durations, and clear BYOB policy provide straightforward expectations for guests. Reviews and features on local platforms such as The Adventure Collective highlight the business’s appeal to visitors looking for scenic sunset cruises, dolphin sightings, and customizable private tours around St. Pete Beach and Tampa Bay.
Select cruises on the Pink Pelican include a Bluetooth sound system for personalized playlists, while other trips encourage guests to curate their soundtrack. Groups can choose focused wildlife-watching itineraries or relaxed sandbar stops to swim and sun and capture memorable photos.
