What To (And What Not To) Bring Onboard

Refreshments & Alcohol

  • Every PonTiki cruise is stocked with beer, wine, hard seltzers, bottled water, and ice. Please remember that PonTiki’s alcohol licensing strictly prohibits any hard liquor on the boats. If you bring any hard liquor on board, the cruise is unable to depart.

Food & Snacks

  • Food is not provided by PonTiki, however, we have relationships with many catering companies and restaurants in the area that love to provide for our guests, so please ask us about those options. Guests may bring their own food and snacks. Due to the sometimes windy conditions on the water, and to prevent litter flying off the boat, we ask that guests always bring their food and utensils in containers that have lids.

Coolers

  • Each PonTiki boat has coolers with ice that may be used by guests to store limited amounts of food or refreshments, so while guests are allowed to bring their own coolers onboard, please know that we do have cooler space available and additional coolers are not necessary.

Dogs: ONLY ALLOWED ON PRIVATE CRUISES

  • Dogs are welcome on PonTiki under the following circumstances; all dogs must be in a crate while onboard and underway. They may only be allowed out of their crate once PonTiki has reached a sandbar, and they are released outside of the boat. No dogs are allowed to roam free on the boat due to both safety and hygiene issues.

Beach Stuff

  • PonTiki has footballs, floating lily pad. Guests are encouraged to bring towels and sunscreen, though we ask that guests refrain from aerosol (spray) sunscreen, as it gets onto everything (including food, couches, walls, and our staff!) when sprayed, and generally causes a mess onboard. We thank our guests for understanding.

Marijuana

  • We have a zero tolerance policy with regards to marijuana use, as it remains an illegal substance in the State of Florida. If guests are found to be using marijuana onboard, the cruise is required by the United States Coast Guard to return to port immediately. Any cruises cancelled due to guests using marijuana will be charged the full cruise rate, regardless of when it was cancelled due to a violation.
