The Oasis

Custom-built in 2024 to bring the ultimate Holiday Island style cruise to you. Our boat is 35 feet of fun and is the largest tiki style boat on the harbor.

When you have to take a “liki on the tiki” there's a fully enclosed and private restroom with an electric flushing toilet.

Have a relaxing cruise and kickback in our plush lounge seating or join in to some impromptu holiday caroling.

Customization Options

If you would like to enjoy both the winter sunset and the lights, you can book our 5:15pm, first trip of the night. This will give you approximately 30-45 mins on the harbor for sunset and then enter the canals to view the lights.

Our second cruse of the night is our Christmas Lights Only Tour.

Select cruises may have live entertainment on board, additional catering for purchase and even Christmas caroling.

We typically pick up and drop off at Laishley Park Marina. Call (941) 646-TIKI (8454) if you have any questions on pick up location.

Alcohol

Bring your own. All our cruises are BYOB, all we ask is you leave the red wine at home.

We'll keep your drinks ice cold all cruise long. We have our own cooler, so you don't have to bring your own. We provide ice & cups for you and your crew.

If you bring liquor, we have chasers and mixers for sale. We’ll even mix your drinks for you!

Food & Catering

We have chips, snacks, and charcuterie plates for sale on board.

But you're more than welcome to bring your own food. We have plates, plasticware, and napkins.
