Cruisin' Tikis Marathon operates out of Marathon, Florida, offering small-group tiki boat charters and guided cruises across the Florida Keys. The business focuses on relaxed, scenic water experiences tailored to couples, families, and small groups. Signature offerings include a two-hour Sunset Cruise — a private charter designed for intimate outings and unobstructed views of Marathon sunsets; a two-hour Key Colony Harbor Cruise that combines sightseeing over crystal-blue waters with captain-led stories and wildlife spotting; and a Swim Stop Cruise available in three- or four-hour durations that lets passengers swim, snorkel, and explore local marine life while enjoying narration from the captain.
Each trip emphasizes close-up views of Florida Keys scenery and wildlife, with routes chosen for calm waters and photo opportunities. Private-charter options accommodate romantic outings or small groups seeking a focused experience without the crowds. Captains provide entertaining commentary and local facts during the Key Colony Harbor and Swim Stop cruises, adding context to wildlife sightings and landmarks.
Bookings are offered for set tour lengths (two, three, or four hours) depending on the selected cruise. Equipment and on-board guidance for swim stops are provided as part of the experience, and itineraries are designed to highlight natural scenery unique to Marathon and the surrounding Keys.
