Fort Lauderdale Tiki

About Fort Lauderdale Tiki

Fort Lauderdale Tiki operates from the New River in downtown Fort Lauderdale, offering guided tiki boat charters along the city’s iconic waterways. This is not a sit-down bar, it is a floating experience where a dedicated captain navigates guests past mega-yachts, waterfront mansions, and sandbars while sharing local history and property details along the route. Charters run two to three hours and depart from 10 S New River Dr W, putting guests on the water within minutes of Las Olas and the downtown core. Captains like Ralph, Larry, and Jerry earn repeated praise for their local knowledge, easygoing energy, and willingness to tailor the ride to whatever the group wants, whether that means anchoring at a sandbar, cruising past celebrity homes, or just floating with music playing. The vibe is relaxed and social rather than scripted. Groups regularly book for bachelorette weekends, milestone birthdays, and friend reunions, and reviewers consistently note that even a two-hour charter feels like a full outing without dragging. The boat accommodates small-to-medium groups comfortably, and the intimate size means every seat has a view. With a perfect 5.0 Google rating across nearly 200 reviews, Fort Lauderdale Tiki has built its reputation on personable captains and a genuinely fun afternoon or evening on the water. Open daily from 9 AM to 9 PM, it fits easily into a beach day, a pre-dinner activity, or a standalone night out on the Intracoastal.
