Pricing

Private charters include the boat, captain, mate, standard-route fuel, coolers with ice and onboard amenities. Our ‘as low as’ prices include the $100 Monday–Thursday direct-booking saving; Friday–Sunday starting prices are shown alongside them.

Monday–Thursday direct-booking discount

The $100 Monday–Thursday direct-booking discount is already included in our advertised as low as prices and is applied automatically in checkout.

Payment

Guests may pay a 50% deposit online when booking. The remaining balance is due at the start of the charter and, if it has not been paid another way by then, is automatically charged to the card used for the reservation. Freaky Tiki accepts all major payment methods available through checkout.

Split payments

The booking payment must be made on one card. Guests who want to divide the cost need to reimburse one another separately.

Booking changes

A booked date, charter duration, or start time may be changed when availability allows, but the guest must call or text the crew to reschedule and receive confirmation. Any price difference or special-event pricing still applies.

Cancellations

Guest cancellations more than seven days before departure receive a full refund. Guest cancellations within 0–7 days are nonrefundable. Rescheduling may be requested until three days before the trip and is subject to availability and crew confirmation. If Freaky Tiki cancels the charter, the guest may choose a refund or rescheduling, subject to availability.

Discounts and special dates

Holiday, special-event, high-demand and custom-trip pricing may differ. Checkout shows the final total for your date.

Arrival time

Guests should arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time. A late arrival does not move the charter’s original end time because another charter may be scheduled immediately afterward.

Charter start times

Available start times depend on the date and requested charter duration. The booking calendar shows the current choices; guests with a special timing request should call or text the crew.

Charter extensions

When the schedule after the charter is open, the crew may be able to extend the trip for $350 per additional hour. Extensions are never guaranteed and must be confirmed with the crew.

Weather and early returns

Freaky Tiki contacts the booking guest directly when weather affects a trip. If Freaky Tiki cancels before departure because conditions are unsafe, the guest may choose a refund or rescheduling, subject to availability. Guests may request weather-related rescheduling when they are more than three days from departure. If unsafe weather begins after departure and the crew must return early, the charter is prorated for the time completed and the unused portion is refunded.

Crew gratuity

A tip for your crew is customary and greatly appreciated. The amount is up to you.

Damage and excessive-cleaning charges

Excessive cleanup

Normal post-charter cleaning is included. A $200 excessive-cleaning fee will be charged for vomit, blood, urine, feces, other bodily fluids, or solid bodily waste. The same fee may apply when guest conduct requires sanitizing, deodorizing, stain removal, or waste disposal beyond normal service.

Renter responsibility

The renter is responsible for every guest and outside vendor in the group. This includes accidental or intentional damage, loss, staining, breakage, burning, clogging, destruction, or misuse of the boat or its property.

Damage costs

Charges are based on the documented cost of professional cleaning, repair, replacement, or restoration and may be added to the $200 excessive-cleaning fee. Covered property includes the marine toilet, seating, upholstery, flooring, railings, tables, electronics, sound system, coolers, floating mat, safety equipment, decorations, fixtures, and other parts of the vessel. Normal wear and tear is not charged.

Booking FAQs

How many guests can come aboard?

Freaky Tiki welcomes private groups of 1–22 guests aboard our Coast Guard-inspected passenger vessel. Children and infants count toward the 22-guest limit.

What comes with our private boat charter?

Every Freaky Tiki private charter includes the 40-foot boat, a captain and mate, standard-route fuel, two coolers filled with ice, a private bathroom, the Rockford Fosgate sound system and a floating mat. Connect your phone and bring the drinks, ready-to-eat food and towels your group wants for the day.

Is the charter private?

Yes. Your booking reserves the boat for your group; you are not mixed with unrelated guests.

How should we choose a charter length?

Match the duration to the group’s priorities and the rest of the day, then use the booking calendar to compare available start times.
