Cruisin' Tikis Clearwater operates from Clearwater Beach, Florida, providing the area's only authentic tiki boat for public cruises and private charters. The operator offers a focused set of experiences: the Island Sandbar & Swim Tiki Cruise (1.5 hours), the Dolphin Tiki Tour (intimate six-passenger outings), the Sunset Tiki Cruise (2 hours), the Clearwater Beach Tiki Cruise (1.5 hours), the 3 Hour - TWO Island Sandbar Tiki Adventure, and customizable Private Cruise • Special Events for groups up to 24 guests. Guests are welcome to bring their own drinks and snacks on public and private departures, creating a relaxed floating tiki bar atmosphere.
Cruises travel through the intercoastal and Gulf waters around Clearwater Beach, visiting local sandbars, islands, and coastal waterways where dolphins and manatees are often observed. The Dolphin Tiki Tour is designed for close-up wildlife viewing with a very small passenger count, while sandbar cruises allow time to swim, mingle with locals, and enjoy the shallow, warm waters.
Private charters and special events let groups tailor routes, music, and stops among sandbars, mangroves, and open Gulf areas for up to 24 people. Available trip lengths span 1.5 to 3 hours to suit short outings, sunset views, and longer island hops.
Scheduling and bookings are offered through the business's reservation process with options for individual seats or full private charters, making it straightforward for visitors to plan sandbar outings, dolphin tours, or sunset cruises. All information reflects the current lineup of trips operating from Clearwater Beach.
