WHAT IT'S LIKE TO CRUISE ON A TIKI BOAT THROUGH TAMPA! ★★★★★

We always wanted to try a tour like this. We are so glad we did. What a great time and Captain Kayla was spot on making this trip relaxing, informative, and fun. Definitely a highlight to our trip!

Captain Dave took us on a great tour of Tampa! My favorite parts were the sunset on the water and the fun that we all had on the boat. Perfect end to our Sunday evening!

So amazing!! What a great time the captain was so nice to our son and it was the best part of our trip

If you can, do this!!! It was really nice. We had a great time cruising. It rained at our initial time but they made it right. They offered another time or a full refund. GLAD I chose to take the ride.

Decided to take my grandparents and treat them to a cute tiki ride. We had the best time!!!! Our tour guide Matilda was absolutely amazing!! She was very informative and knew a lot about the area. We would definitely do this again and highly recommend ✨

CRUISIN' TIKI CLEARWATER IS TRIPADVISOR'S TRAVELERS' CHOICE ★★★★★

What a great trip! My husband and daughter took the 10 am trip with Captain Alex. We had some much fun the morning was sunny, the company was amazing and the music terrific. Captain Alex provided us with wonderful views. We seen several dolphins. I would recommend this as part of your adventures to Clearwater Florida.

This is probably one of the most underrated options. However it is so simple, fun, relaxing, and laid back. It doesn’t mater what tour you do. Just go! You are away from everything, it’s all about you and the group your with. You will make the best of it and it’s Awesome.

This is a great time!! Patrick was an awesome captain on our journey!! If you are looking for a great, relaxing booze cruise, this is it. As they say, why go bar hopping when you can hop on a bar...

We took a great cruse around the bay. We say dolphins, fish and sharks throughout the trip. The staff was super nice and accommodating.

Best night of our mini trip out to Clearwater. Patrick was so much fun and knowledgeable that gave our group an excellent experience! I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great time on the water with incredible sunset views!

Private Party Boat Rental

Go wild and explore the best parts of Fort Lauderdale on your private party boat.

Revolutionizing the Way People Have Fun on the Water

"I chartered a boat as a surprise for my girlfriend's birthday and everyone loved it. I had first reserved a boat for Miami because Fort Lauderdale was all booked. Luckily, a spot opened up and Mike told me right away. I snatched up the open spot right away. Everything the day of worked perfectly. We were able to fit extra coolers on board with plenty of food and drinks. I'll be reserving one of these again for an evening tour."

"Colin was amazing! This was a group of girls who were wild with twerking over the side of the boat and he was so professional. We had an amazing time. Floaties, blue tooth speaker, and a cooler with ice were provided. My girls packed food and lunch. We went to several locations including a sandbar and private beach where he was our photographer. Everyone had an amazing time (probably too much!). If we come back I would totally do this again!"

"Fantastic experience from start to finish. I spent a lot of time researching party boat option. This was by far the best. From connecting with company initially, to planning my person event, to taking us out on the water, this company did a fantastic job to make us feel welcome, excited and...tipsy. There is a cooler on board with ice and waters, bring your own beverages and snacks. The captain will bring you to beaches, bars and swimmy options."

"Okay so I kept seeing the reviews about this party boat and now I know exactly why they're all positive!!!! This is the BEST way to celebrate an event or just have a fun day out on the water. I was paranoid about the weather because it's been kinda off and on this whole week in South Florida but they kept in contact with me about it which we really appreciated. It ended up being a great day and every single person in our party had the BEST time. Our captain, Ross, really ensured we were having a good time and took us to all the best spots. We can't wait to go back to enjoy another day with them!"

"I totally forgot to review this experience only because my bday ended up bad! This was so great! The service was amazing just amazing! They made my bday so special the captain was wonderful! And I will have to go back in my email to get his name because he needs to be appreciated for his patience and being so kind!!!!! They accommodated my time due to my sister coming and having a rough pregnancy!! And that means the world to me!!!!!!!!!"

Cruises from Tampa to Key West

Escape on a delightful Caribbean vacation on one of our cruises from Tampa to Key West. Choose a shorter voyage to the sunshine, with blissful days in both Key West and Grand Cayman. A longer cruise gives you the luxury of two overnights in steamy New Orleans, as well as visits to Honduras, Cozumel, Costa Maya, and the charmingly eccentric Key West.

During one of these unforgettable cruises, you’ll revel in warm tropical weather and heavenly beaches and discover a wealth of natural wonders both on land and underwater. Snorkel over reefs and shipwrecks that teem with marine life, or explore mysterious Mayan ruins. Embrace the local cuisine, from conch in Grand Cayman to rich gumbo in New Orleans and spicy tacos in Mexico. During days at sea, unwind by the sparkling pool on board, or indulge in a relaxing spa treatment.

Itineraries

Featured ports of call.

Stop in sunny Key West, a quirky city with a lively downtown and pristine coral reefs. Discover vibrant marine wildlife during a snorkeling excursion or go on a kayaking trip around maze-like mangroves, where you’ll see stingrays, crabs, and other tropical fish. Embrace the town’s laidback atmosphere while strolling down festive Duval Street, or explore attractions like the Ernest Hemingway House and the Southernmost Point of the United States during a bicycle sightseeing tour.

Grand Cayman is famed for the vast expanse of Seven Mile Beach, but there are plenty more reasons to visit. Interact with wild stingrays or snorkel over the wreck of the USS Kittiwake, now colonized by dazzling corals and tropical fish. Take a trip to Hell, a stretch of jagged black limestone formations that could indeed resemble the underworld. Back in George Town, shop for duty-free goods and sample local specialties like delicious conch chowder and Tortuga rum cake. 

New Orleans

Take in the evocative sights and sounds of the Big Easy on a cruise from Tampa to Key West that also stops in New Orleans. You’ll have two nights to explore the legendary jazz bars and pubs of atmospheric Bourbon Street. By day, there are paddle steamer cruises on the Mississippi to enjoy, the grand Oak Alley Mansion to discover, and boat trips out into the bayous to spot alligators, turtles, and wild birds.

What to do before or after your cruise from port tampa bay.

By Janet K. Keeler

Planning things to do before or after cruising from Port Tampa Bay is as fun to think about as the much-anticipated tropical cruise itself. The Tampa cruise port is conveniently located in a bustling area of Tampa, full of shops, attractions and restaurants, so the choices are plentiful.

The Tampa cruise port is one of the anchors of the Channelside District which puts cruisers within walking distance of a variety of things to do. And by variety, we mean good eats, too. The district is loaded with food options including Michelin-honored restaurants including Predalina and The Pearl . 

Just a few blocks away from where you will embark at the Tampa cruise port is Sparkman Wharf , a tangle of restaurants and bars with outdoor seating and live music. Yeah, we know the cruise ships offer an endless buffet, but you’ll get some local flavors—charred octopus Greek salad at Swigamajig —at Sparkman plus the chance to blow off some calories on the Splitsville bowling lanes.

Amalie Arena , the home of the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team, is within walking distance, too, and you might be able to sync your cruise with a game or even a concert. Madonna, Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, Billy Joel and Megan Thee Stallion are just some of the acts that have played the venue recently.

For those who want to explore farther afield there are the beautiful Gulf of Mexico beaches on the other side of Tampa Bay. Wide beaches with white sand are the hallmark from Clearwater south to Fort De Soto Park.

There’s plenty more beyond eating, drinking and sunning to discover before or after your cruise out of Port Tampa.

Explore the Underwater World

In the shadow of the big cruise ships at the Tampa cruise port is the Florida Aquarium which offers as much intergenerational fun as can be found aboard any cruise ship. The aquarium is one of those educational places that masquerades as a good time. Who wouldn’t want to peer through the glass wall at what baby alligators do underwater? They hardly look like the giant prehistoric reptiles that they will become. The exhibits cover Florida’s wetlands, beaches and coral reef exhibits. Just the right place to get cruisers in the mood for their tropical sea adventure.

Experience Latin Culture

A few miles from the Port Tampa Bay cruise port is the lively Tampa neighborhood, Ybor City and a street car from the cruise port area will get you there. In the early 1900s, Ybor was the country’s center of cigar production and the city’s Cuban immigrant heart. The cigar factories have dwindled to just one— J.C. Newman Cigar Co .— and visitors can watch the action and take a one-hour guided tour of the facility. There are a few storefronts along Ybor’s Seventh Avenue where you can watch cigar rollers. A self-guided GPS-based tour can tell you more and there are even guided night ghost walks. Stop in Florida’s oldest restaurant, the Columbia , for Cuban coffee and a 1905 salad, named after the year the doors opened.

Ride a Roller Coaster

Tampa’s popular theme park, Busch Gardens , is less than 10 miles from the cruise port and is a great place to take the kids if you’ve got an extra day. There are 10(!) roller coasters for thrillseekers ranging from Iron Gwazi, the world’s fastest and highest hybrid coaster, to Cheetah Hunt, the park’s longest coaster.  Five of them turn riders upside down. There are other rides too, like the Serengeti Flyer which soars over one of the animal encampments. The Serengeti Express train ride covers similar ground but keeps you on the ground. Besides rides and attractions, there are animals, animals, animals. More than 200 species of animals including penguins, hippos, rhinos, giraffes and more. Lots of opportunities for interaction and education. Busch means beer and there’s a taproom too.

Ride the Pirate Water Taxi

Tampa is steeped in pirate culture thanks to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers football team and the annual Gasparilla Pirate Fest in the weeks leading up to Easter. Think New Orleans Mardi Gras on the water with a pirate ship invasion and plenty of costumed rogues of the sea throwing beads in multiple parades. The Pirate Water Taxi takes its lead from the theme and plies the Hillsborough River and nearby channels much like a hop-on, hop-off tour bus. It makes 16 stops and No. 1 is at the Florida Aquarium, a quick walk from the Tampa Bay cruise port and parking. At stop #9, you can hop off and get a close up view of the docked Jose Gasparilla II pirate ship that leads the pirate fest invasion. Get off at  #12 and amble along the Tampa RiverWalk until you get to the Armature Works food hall to get locally brewed coffee or a bite to eat from one of the many vendors. Armature is stop No. 16 where you can board the water taxi again for the ride back to the cruise port.

Get Artsy across the Bay

Across Tampa Bay from Tampa, downtown St. Petersburg boasts five museums and a number of galleries, including one that houses the work of famed glass artist Dale Chiluly . It’s just across the street from the Morean Art Center which has rotating exhibits and a fine gift shop. The museums include the Museum of Fine Arts St. Petersburg and its collection spanning 4,000 years; the Dali Museum which has an impressive collection of the Spanish surrealist’s master works; the James Museum of Western Art and its rotating and permanent collection of art that celebrates the American West; the Florida Holocaust Museum dedicated to preserving the memory of the Holocaust and promoting tolerance, and the Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement and its impressive collection of furniture and decorative arts. There are parking facilities downtown, and an Uber or Lyft ride is one way to cross the bay. The Cross Bay Ferry to downtown St. Petersburg is another alternative and the pick up spot in Tampa is about a mile from the cruise port.
