My daughter and I were looking for something to do in the area. I considered a helicopter tour, but we decided to be closer to nature. Captain Dave answered my call right away, answered all my questions, and the next day we were on the water. The tiki themed boat has maracas, tambourine, bongo, and even a ukulele, ready for anyone to play. Thereโs a fridge stocked with water and a variety of sodas, plus a blender and grill for anything you want to bring to prepare on the ride. You can even relax in a hammock while watching all the dolphins, water birds, and manatees! We saw a huge pod of dolphins

My wife and I booked Tiki Cruises for our anniversary. We had a wonderful time. Captain Dave did a great job. We had a relaxing boat tour through beautiful waterways listening to pleasant music. Dave does a great job fostering a pleasant and fun-loving atmosphere. We will definitely be back and will recommend this to our friends. Thank you for a great anniversary experience!

We had a great 2 hour cruise celebrationg our 10th wedding anniversary with friends! We brought our food and drinks on board and enjoyed a great lunch. There a refrigerator if needed. Cap'n Dave made it relaxing and fun providing music on the sound system. We requested our wedding dance song ๐. He even pulled out instruments for us to sing along with the music. He caters to the group on board, following your lead and preferences. We also got to see dolphins and manatees while cruising. Only complaint, we should have booked a longer cruise, but we will next time!
Thanks Cap'n Dave!

Try this tiki cruise!
It was really easy: Call, pay, show up & ride!
The price was reasonable.
The ride was smooth.
The captain was pleasant & easy-going.
We had a Girls' Day brunch aboard Cap'n Dave's tiki boat & we were all very happy that we chose to do it! We chose a 3-hour trip. It felt like it went so fast! We listened to island music (any type is available) & cruised around while we enjoyed good food.
The boat is spacious & can hold a maximum of 6 people plus the captain. It was equipped with all safety items, a couple large coolers with ice, a

During a recent vacation visit to the Port Canaveral area my wife and I were looking for things to do with some of our Floridian friends who were also in the area. We decided to spend two hours on a water cruise hosted by Tiki Cruises of Merrit Island. It was a good choice.
The boat is based in a marina on Merrit Island. It was a former house boat converted into a Tiki boat. So it has an open deck plan with a hard top to keep the sun off your back and your drinks cold. The marina is kind of set back a bit so you just need to follow the gravel road to its end. The boat holds about six people not

Just had our first cruise with Captain Dave on his lovely tiki boat and we might just have to come back for more in the future!
We cruised about 2 1/2 hours, where Captain Dave was ready for a party time or a quiet time. Whatever our hearts desired, he was the perfect host. In our case, we were looking forward to a relaxing cruise. Just looking to spend some time with our kids and we even brought our 2 dogs.
We got to see dolphins and some lovely homes along the coast.
Perfect day, and we definitely recommend this cruise.

Capt. Dave took my family on a fantastic day cruise in the Indian River, Barge Canal, and Banana River. My wife and children enjoyed having drinks, snacks, and lounging in the hammock, and we were surprised to see so much wildlife during our tour. We saw a pair of dolphins in the Indian River, and a couple of others that seemed to be on their own. We also saw several manatees in the Barge Canal. Thank you for a great day tour, Capt. Dave!
