There are a total of 12 seats at the bar and another 18 seats at the front of the boat.

Yes. We offer several options for catering.

On the 90 minute Public Cruise… Of course! We do offer light snacks for sale, but feel free to bring your own to enjoy alongside our tropical cocktails. Just make sure it’s nothing too messy. Private Parties and Corporate Events have the option to order from our “Catering Package”.

All of our boats carry a full liquor license, so guests are not allowed to bring outside alcohol or 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.

Short answer – please don’t be! Our boats run on a very tight schedule and will depart at their scheduled time. 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!

Looking at the forecast and seeing gray? Don’t believe a word they say! We’re kidding of course, but our Long Island 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’s not a problem. We go rain or shine! – our boat has a roof and sides that come down, so we like to believe it’s always 85 and sunny. Some of our best cruises were in rainy weather! 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, Full Store Credit, or a Gift Card. If Insurance was pre-purchased, a Full Store Credit will be applied. Usually, this will be on the day of your cruise.

Yes! Guests have the option to tip the crew, not the boat, 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!

A Hawaiian shirt and a Lei, of course. That’s the official Tiki Islander uniform! But we say to wear whatever feels comfortable. We recommend to bring an extra layer or jacket -just in case. The temperature in the bay changes throughout the day. It is better to be safe than chilly.

To cancel your reservation, please reach out to us promptly via email at info@tikiboatli.com or by phone at (631) 648-8055. If you cancel at least 14 days before the scheduled departure time of the cruise, you will receive a Full Store Credit that can be used for future cruises or private bookings. However, please note that cancellations made less than 14 days before the scheduled departure time of the cruise will not be eligible for a store credit unless Trip Insurance was purchased at the time of booking. Keep in mind that a lot of people are eager to cruise with us, so we do require a 72-hour notice for all cancellations.
