They anchor really close to other boats in Cape May public anchorage turning it into a noisy area where boat travellers can no longer rest after long sea passage. Boats around have to listen to them blasting music and loud drunk people yelling. With their short draft pontoon, there is lots of options around the area to party without doing it 150’ from other boats. Courtesy does not seem to be taken for granted by all local businesses. Would not recommend this business given their practices.

I highly recommend this company! I used them for a bachelorette party as well as a family gathering, both doing the three hour bar crawl. It was so nice to have our own private boat for three hours. Missy was exceptional! We can’t wait to book another trip.

I can't say enough about the Tini Tiki! My husband and I had a fantastic time aboard the festive pontoon this past weekend on what was a truly memorable sunset cruise. It didn't hurt that the weather was spectacular, but between the super fun music playing from start to finish (I'm talking old school!), the relaxed atmosphere, and informative (but not overly so) captain and first mate, it was awesome on all fronts.
We brought a few beers and bottles of wine and cups with us - others onboard also brought snacks - you can really bring anything you want (another plus!) - and they had

What a great way to explore Cape May! A much more personalized experience than what is offered by the larger water tours. Plus, they know these waters and seem like they're up for whatever adventure you want to do. We went on the Tiny Tiki and Captain Doug and Franco were very entertaining and informative. Being on the water gives a different perspective of Cape May and the rich wildlife it offers when going into the grassy areas. five star tour!

Captain Franko (aka Most-Interesting-Man-in-the-World) and First Mate Lauren were absolutely wonderful. They truly made our 3-hour tour so incredibly fun (it's been almost a week and we still keep talking about how great it was) and it was a PERFECT way to celebrate! Also, definite shout out to Captain Franko's toasts and playlists!! A++
Also - Captain Doug was great to work with for all of the set-up/reservations. He was quick to respond to any questions/phone calls!
We hope to have a return cruise next summer (really want to check out the Tiny Tiki!). Thanks Tiny Cruise Line for

Took the "tiny tiki" with a group of girlfriends recently and was a bit disappointed. Our tour guide Doug arrived 20 minutes late to pick us up and cut into our boating time. Because of the late start we did expect to be dropped off late considering how much we were paying (a flat rate). Sadly, he actually dropped us off a couple minutes earlier than it should have ended even if he hadn't been late to getting us. It was quite disappointing.

This is the best kept secret in Cape May! A 90 minute cruise around the harbor with wonderful tidbits of information about the various ships, wildlife, and where to get the best drink in town:) The Captain and Co-Captian were very amiable and shared many of their own stories as well. A great bargain for only $20 a person. Don't miss out on this fun and friendly adventure!

Nice little 90 minute cruise. Our captain/guide gave some interesting tidbits of local information, but it was considerably less than expected. However, the cost was only $20, which is a bargain for that length of time. There were only five total passengers, and the little boat was comfortable even with the stiff breeze. The wind kept down the number of bird sightings.
