Private Boat Cruises in Newport with SS Tiki Tours

Set against the scenic backdrop of Newport, Kentucky, SS Tiki Tours offers a fresh take on riverfront recreation with its private boat cruises aboard the Lady Luau and Feeding Frenzy. These aren’t your average boat rides—they’re curated outings that bring friends, family, and celebrations onto the shimmering Ohio River with style and energy. Newport itself is an engaging river city just across from Cincinnati, with a lively waterfront where the Ohio and Licking Rivers converge, providing ideal conditions for smooth, accessible cruising.

SS Tiki Tours focuses on private experiences that range from relaxed daytime cruises to vibrant nighttime fireworks viewing. Whether it’s a birthday, bachelorette party, or simply a weekend outing, the boats come equipped with lively music, karaoke, and hosts who actively engage with guests to keep the vibe upbeat. Captains like Kevin and crew members such as Alison and Addie don’t just guide the vessel—they keep the party alive, creating a memorable atmosphere anchored in good times and comfort.

Gliding past Newport’s riverfront landmarks and across to Cincinnati’s skyline, riders get front-row seats to a blend of urban sparkle and natural waterways. During select events, catching the Reds’ fireworks from the water turns the cruise into an unmatched experience, highlighted by reflections bursting on the river’s surface. The Lady Luau and Feeding Frenzy boats are well outfitted to support groups seeking both adventure and relaxation, combining safe navigation with the freedom to celebrate on the water.

For those wanting to combine the ease of a private excursion with the thrill of riverside vistas and local culture, SS Tiki Tours fits perfectly into Ohio Valley’s outdoor offerings. It provides a unique way to engage with the region’s waterways without needing paddles or hiking boots, making it accessible for all skill levels. This business is carving out its niche by blending hospitality, river access, and customizable party settings in one of Kentucky’s most scenic urban waterfronts.
