Bring the kids, catch up with your parents or get the cousins together for a boat day. There’s room for family stories, snacks and photos, with a captain and mate looking after the trip. Families of any size up to 22 are welcome.
Private two to eight hour charters for up to 22 guests, starting as low as $550.
Bring up to 22 guests together on a private Fort Lauderdale family boat charter with a captain, mate, shaded seating, coolers, music and a private restroom.
Let the kids watch the boats go by while the grown-ups catch up around the table. Your group gets Freaky Tiki to yourselves, whether you bring a few relatives or gather the extended family, up to 22 guests. There’s space to move around and find a favorite seat.
Babies and children are welcome, and each counts toward the 22-guest maximum. Tell us how many children are coming so we can prepare the child safety PFDs. Bring a properly fitted specialty life jacket for an infant, and swimming life jackets for children who plan to get in the water.
Two or three hours makes a great outing with visiting relatives or younger kids. Four gives you more time for swimming and the floating mat when conditions allow. Five, six or eight works when everyone wants to spend the day on the boat.
Pack the food your family likes, drinking water, towels and sun protection. Covered seating and a private bathroom help everyone stay comfortable, and guests who prefer to stay dry can relax aboard. If anyone needs boarding assistance, speak with the crew before booking so you can plan around their needs.
Pack the snacks, add a few songs everyone knows and send the arrival details to each household.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, towels and light layers appropriate for every guest.
Use the provided coolers and ice for simple food and drinks that work for your particular family.
Shorter trips suit a simple scenic outing; longer charters give active families more time for the water.
