Tips on Enjoying Your Best Cruise with Cruisin' Tikis Beaufort

Learn about the most commonly sought information about our tiki cruises. Please also read the entire list of Frequently Asked Questions shared further below. If you still have questions, please give us or a call or send us a message. Your call is important to us however, we may be out on the water serving other customers and will call you back when we are able.

Per Person Cruises/Boat Charter

Our cruises are priced to reflect time of day, demand, and length of cruise. You can book individual seats (with a minimum of 2) or book the entire boat(s).

Longer cruises are available, so if interested please let us know.

Gratuities

Though not required in any way, our Captains work hard to make your trip memorable and gratuities are appreciated. There is no way currently for us to accept gratuities on credit card, so cash is the only way though we are considering Venmo as an option. 18%-25% is average. Thank you!

Booking fees

We charge your card when you make your reservation. Please plan how many people are in your group carefully. See our Cancellation notice below. Our booking provider also charges a small “convenience fee” – we see none of that money as it goes to them.

Cruising Areas

We cruise the channels, portions of the ICW, local marsh areas, and the Taylor Creek and Core Sounds areas of Beaufort. Depending on the weather and cruise desire, we may also go to Bird Shoal and Carrot Island. As we are permitted to conduct activities at the Rachel Carson Reserve, we remind our guests that we need to be good neighbors to the horses and to other guests with behavior our mothers would approve.

Cruises are BYOB

You can bring your own drinks. We provide a certified boat captain, bottled water, a cooler, ice (for both the cooler and your drinks), cups, and Bluetooth stereo speaker so that you can link up to our stereo and play your own music.

No Show & Refunds

No shows will never be refunded. A “No Show” is defined as not being at your scheduled cruise within 15 minutes of departure. Our captains have to travel and get the boat set up for you, and if you fail to show the captain still is paid by Cruisin’ Tikis as he did his part – and you just failed to do yours.

We reserve the right to cancel any tour at any time due to weather, safety, mechanical or behavioral issues.
