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

Choose the charter style that fits your group, then share how you want to balance cruising, sightseeing, music, photos, and water time when route and conditions allow.

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.

A private sunset cruise for your group alone

Freaky Tiki gives couples, families and groups of up to 22 a private way to see Fort Lauderdale in the softer evening light. Bring drinks and snacks, choose the playlist and enjoy waterfront homes, marinas, bridges and city views without buying individual seats on a crowded sightseeing boat.

Two hours can be the perfect evening format

A two-hour private charter fits naturally before dinner, Las Olas plans or a special night out. Three hours creates more time for cruising and conversation, while longer trips can combine golden hour with a birthday, wedding-weekend celebration or extended private party on the water.

Sunset timing changes through the year

The best available start time depends on the season, your date and the live charter schedule. Open the embedded FareHarbor calendar to see current inventory, then contact the team if sunset light is your priority. Weather and cloud cover can affect the view, but the evening Intracoastal atmosphere remains part of the experience.

Comfort after the sun goes down

The 40-foot boat includes comfortable group seating, an onboard bathroom, Bluetooth music and coolers with ice. Bring a light layer for the breeze, charge the phones for photos and follow the confirmed arrival details. The licensed captain and mate manage the route while the group enjoys the evening.

Plan with confidence

Time golden hour around the rest of your evening.

A sunset charter works best when dinner and transportation have enough breathing room on both sides of the trip.

Check the live start times

Availability changes by date and season; ask the team which open slot is the closest match for sunset.

Leave a dinner buffer

Avoid scheduling a reservation immediately after the charter in case boarding, traffic or the group runs a few minutes behind.

Bring an evening layer

South Florida stays warm, but a light layer can make the breeze more comfortable after sunset.

Before you board

Good questions. Straight answers.

What is the best length for a Fort Lauderdale sunset cruise?

Two hours is a popular choice for a dedicated golden-hour or evening cruise. Three hours adds time to relax, and longer options work when sunset is part of a larger private celebration.

Can you guarantee the boat will be out exactly at sunset?

Sunset time, live charter availability and weather vary by date. Check available start times in FareHarbor and contact the team to identify the closest fit for your plans.

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.
