What you’re actually booking

A private charter configured for your group.

This is a real, reservable Freaky Tiki experience—not a shared tour or referral listing. One checkout reserves the private boat, while the date, duration, occasion, guest details, and confirmed requests shape the experience you receive.

Reserve the whole boat

The 40-foot Freaky Tiki is private for your group of 1–22 guests; you are not mixed with another party.

Choose 2–6 hours

Select a 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6-hour charter. Each duration has its own live calendar, starting price, and secure checkout.

Make it fit this experience

Tell the crew what you are celebrating, who is coming, and any music, decoration, vendor, route, or timing requests. Those details help shape your group’s version of Fort Lauderdale Vacation Boat Charters.

Know what is included

Captain, mate, standard-route fuel, coolers with ice, Bluetooth sound, onboard bathroom, and floating mat are included.

Route, water time, and other experience details can vary with the date, charter length, weather, tides, operating conditions, and requests confirmed with the crew.

Experience Fort Lauderdale the way the city makes sense

Fort Lauderdale’s canals, Intracoastal Waterway, waterfront homes, marinas and bridges are central to the destination. A private charter puts the group inside that landscape rather than only seeing it from roads and restaurants, making the boat day a natural highlight of a South Florida vacation.

One plan for vacation groups of up to 22

Friends and extended families can avoid splitting into multiple small rentals or buying scattered seats on a public tour. Freaky Tiki keeps the invited group together on one private 40-foot boat with a captain, mate, coolers, ice, Bluetooth sound, bathroom, seating and floating mat.

Choose a sightseeing cruise or a full water day

Two or three hours is easy to fit around the beach, shopping, dinner or Las Olas. Four hours creates more time for swimming and a sandbar-style stop when conditions allow. Five or six hours is ideal for a vacation group that wants the charter to be the day’s primary experience.

Visitors get a simple booking and arrival path

Use the embedded FareHarbor calendar to compare live dates, times and final prices. After booking, follow the confirmed pickup instructions rather than the administrative address. Arrange transport in advance and pack drinks, snacks, sun protection, towels and a playlist; the crew handles the vessel and route.

Plan with confidence

Make the charter the easiest day on the itinerary.

Reserve the date early, build around one confirmed meeting point and avoid packing too many activities around the boat.

Book the vacation anchor

Choose the charter day before filling the schedule with dinners and other fixed reservations.

Plan group transportation

Use the confirmed pickup point from the booking and arrange enough seats for the entire party.

Pack once for everyone

Send a shared list for drinks, snacks, towels, sunscreen, swimwear and phone protection.

Before you board

Good questions. Straight answers.

Is a private boat charter worth adding to a Fort Lauderdale vacation?

For groups that want to experience the city’s waterways together, a private charter combines sightseeing, music, water time and a group activity in one reservation.

Can a vacation group of more than 12 stay on one boat?

Yes. Freaky Tiki welcomes private groups of up to 22 guests, which can prevent larger vacation parties from having to split across several boats.

How many guests can come aboard?

Freaky Tiki Boat Charters welcomes private groups from 1 to 22 guests. Freaky Tiki is a U.S. Coast Guard-inspected small passenger vessel operating under a Certificate of Inspection (COI) that authorizes it to carry private groups of up to 22 passengers. The COI records vessel-specific operating conditions, including the permitted route, passenger capacity, and minimum crew.

Is Freaky Tiki a good choice for a large group boat charter?

Yes. Freaky Tiki specializes in private large group boat charters for 13 to 22 guests while also welcoming smaller groups. The 40-foot layout, U.S. Coast Guard Certificate of Inspection, captain, mate, bathroom, seating, coolers and sound system help the whole guest list stay together on one boat.

Is the charter private?

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

Can we bring alcohol and food?

Yes. Charters are BYOB for eligible guests. At least one guest age 18 or older must be aboard. Alcohol is allowed only when at least one guest age 21 or older is aboard, and only guests age 21 or older may drink. The person who booked the charter should bring a valid photo ID. Guests may bring any food they want; there are no restrictions on food. The boat has no way to prepare, cook, or heat food, so ready-to-eat choices such as snacks and sandwiches are usually recommended. The boat has two large coolers filled with ice. Guests may bring catering trays, cakes, and any ready-to-serve food, and food may be delivered to the boat before departure when coordinated with the crew. The boat cannot prepare, cook, or heat food and does not provide cups, plates, utensils, napkins, bottled water, or mixers.

Is there a bathroom on the boat?

The onboard bathroom is fully private and toilet paper is provided. Its marine toilet is for liquid waste only; guests who need a bowel movement should use the public restroom at the pickup area before departure.

Can we play our own music?

The boat has a powerful Rockford Fosgate Bluetooth sound system with a 12-inch subwoofer and party lights. Guests can connect a phone by Bluetooth. The boat does not provide a TV, microphone, or karaoke equipment.

Will we always stop at a sandbar?

Sandbar and swim stops depend on charter length, weather, water conditions and the captain’s safety judgment. Check your trip details and ask the team if a sandbar stop is important to your plans.
