Frequently Asked Questions
All your burning questions answered! From safety measures to booking procedures, find everything you need to know before you embark on your journey.
How many people are needed for a cruise to go out?
Tiki cruises are so much better with friends! That’s why we require 6 islanders to go out. If there are less than 6 people booked for the cruise the day before, we will contact you and reschedule to the closest available time or issue you a credit which can be used to rebook at any time in the future.
Where are you located?
Physically or spiritually? Oh, the boring one.
Our address is 60 Rowes Wharf (directly behind the Boston Harbor Hotel) and the dock our boats depart from can be accessed from Gate B or Gate C.
If you’re having trouble finding us, try taking a look at our pinned Instagram story conveniently named “Location”!
Is there music?
Now what kind of Tiki cruise would it be without some tunes?! We have a Spotify set up on board ready to play your favorite tropical beats.
On public cruises, the captain is also the DJ. They do take requests, but they reserve the right to deny a request if they believe it will mess up the vibe of the boat. No hard feelings!
On private cruises, you are the DJ. You get full access to the playlist and you can blast your heavy-metal-K-pop mashup all through Boston Harbor if that’s your cup of rum.
How many people can go on each cruise?
Our public events have a capacity of 24 passengers, this gives all our guests plenty of room to sit down or walk around the deck. Our private parties can have up to 30 guests.
How old do I have to be to cruise?
To serve drinks on a boat you have to follow quite a few rules, so we can only welcome passengers aged 16 and up on public cruises. But don’t worry, all ages are welcome for private cruises, so bring the whole ohana! Also, just a heads up you have to be at least 21 or older to sit at the bar. Make sure to have your ID ready for a quick check when boarding!
What happens if I’m late?
Short answer – please don’t be! All of our boats run on a pretty tight schedule so we have to depart at the scheduled time. No worries though, we know delays happen and we can always try to hold the boat for a few minutes, but please allow ample time to get to the dock for your scheduled cruise.
If you do end up missing your cruise, we’ll try to put you on another one later in the day, but if we’re unable to do so, your tickets will not be honored. Sorry!
Does the crew accept gratuities?
Islanders are encouraged to tip the crew, not the boat, during the cruise should you feel you’ve been provided with exceptional service. Additionally, you will receive a follow-up email asking about your experience with a link to leave a gratuity if you were blown away. Gratuity is split among the crew that made your experience possible. We highly appreciate any gratuities!
What happens if it rains?
Looking at the forecast and seeing gray? Don’t believe a word they say! We’re kidding of course, but our New England weather is so unpredictable that it’s pretty much impossible to plan too far ahead.
If it happens to be raining at the time of your cruise, it shouldn’t be a problem at all – our boat has a roof and sides that come down so we like to believe it’s always 75 and sunny!
We always keep a close eye on the radar and if the weather does get a bit more extreme (heavy wind, thunderstorm,..) and we do have to cancel, we’ll make sure to notify you as soon as possible and offer you a reschedule or a full refund. Usually, this will be on the day of your cruise.
What should I wear?
A Hawaiian shirt and a Lei, of course. That’s the official Tiki Islander uniform! Basically, wear whatever feels comfortable, but we always advise to bring an extra layer just in case. The temperature in the harbor changes throughout the day so it is better to be safe than chilly.
Can I bring my own drinks?
Unfortunately, since all of our boats carry a liquor license, we can not allow any outside beverages. Don’t worry, our bartender will make sure to keep you well-hydrated!
*Please note, that no beverages or cups can be taken off the boat after your cruise.
Can I bring my own food?
Of course! Feel free to bring your favorite light snacks to enjoy alongside our tropical cocktails.
Just make sure it’s nothing too messy – if there is a mess after the cruise that requires a cleaning crew, we do have to charge a $200 cleaning fee. It hasn’t happened yet, but nobody wants to be the first, so no shrimp cocktail towers or build-your-own taco stations please!
How long is the cruise?
The cruise is in total 1 hour and 30 minutes long. The first 10 minutes is boarding and the last 5 minutes are deboarding.
Is there a bathroom?
Yes, we have a bathroom located at the rear of the boat.
Is there seating available?
Absolutely! We have 12 seats at the bar and another 12 at the front of the boat.
*Seating at the bar is first come, first serve and reserved for customers 21+.
Can I buy drinks on board?
Yes, we have a full bar on board which offers canned drinks as well as tropical cocktails.
What is the cancellation/refund policy?
We know sometimes life gets in the way and plans change. No worries – we got your back! If you need to cancel your booking, we can issue you a credit for the full amount that can be used to rebook at any time (the credit does not expire!). Keep in mind that a lot of people are eager to cruise with us, so we do require a 72-hour notice for all c! If you cancel your cruise within 72 hours of departure, you will not be eligible for credit. We do not provide refunds.

The perfect "what should we do" outing
10/10 recommend!! Tiki Boat Boston delivered an amazing private charter experience with great vibes, music, and drinks! We can’t wait to go back again and bring even more of our friends to enjoy the excursion as much as we did!
Fun experience with friends 🤩
We had so much fun with tiki boat Boston!!! Beautiful cruise around the harbor with the best bartender. 11/10 recommend.
Amazing Time for our Group
Had an amazing time on the tiki boat with our group! Our bartender Flavio was the man and made us a ton of fun, tropical drinks. Would have stayed on the boat all day if we could!
Party on water!
First of all, I was skeptical about this Tiki Boat Cruise ( I didn’t do any research and I was invited by a family member) and let me tell you that this Tiki Boat Cruise was definitely the highlight of my summer 2023. I had so much fun!! Captain Cory, Leah and Brittney they made sure that everyone on the boat was having fun by having the drinks coming and the music choice was better than the clubs DJ (no lie).
Tiki Boat Fun for all ages!
We booked the TikiBoat for my mom’s 90th birthday! So much fun cruising around Boston Harbor! Our captain was excellent in providing a smooth & safe cruise! The bartender mixed us up some tasty drinks!
Prices were decent for the city. Sit at the bar, or the benches around the front deck or stand and dance to the lively music.You can bring or own snacks or cake on board.As for accessibility: The ramp from the boardwalk at Row’s Wharf to the dock was wide, with excrement hand rails, and not too steep. Use the public restrooms behind the ferry office, clean and with a handicap stall.
There is a small bathroom on board.You need to ‘Mind the gap’ between the dock and the TikiBoat. Captain and crew helpful to bring my mobility challenged husband on board with his scooter.Highly recommend this 90 minute cruise. Great fun for all ages!d!
We’ll definitely sail again!
My husband and I booked a cruise with Tiki Boat Boston for our first wedding anniversary and I honestly hope it becomes a tradition. We had so much fun on the boat! Our captain and bartender were very friendly and we found ourselves laughing with the other guests on the boat because of the relaxed atmosphere.
The drink prices were extremely reasonable, the music was perfect for a beachy vibe, and the views were incredible. We had a scheduling conflict and had to change our tour from the sunset cruise to city lights. The office staff made this a quick and easy fix, which we were grateful for. I look forward to our next trip with Boston Tiki Boat!
