Itinerary and highlights

Climb aboard THE BIG KAHUNA! Our brand-new 36’ floating TIKI paradise offers premium amenities for your comfort — and yes, even a bathroom (because hey, luxury matters).

We’re not just taking you on a boat ride—we’re whisking you away to the beautiful and unspoiled Shell Island, aka our little slice of paradise.Keep your eyes peeled as playful dolphins leap through the waves beside us. It’s like being in a nature documentary, but better—because you’re in it.

Our awesome crew is here to make sure your adventure is not only safe but a total blast from start to finish. And guess what? We anchor in calm, shallow waters—far from any pesky rip currents—so you can swim, float, and soak up the good vibes even when the main beach is closed. Enjoy premium floats, games and stand up paddle boards too.

Please note that Friday and Saturday afternoon trips are reserved for adults only otherwise this cruise is very family friendly.
