YES children are allowed. We don’t want them to miss out cruisin’ on the tiki boat. Children age six and under are required to wear a life jacket which we have on board or you can bring your own. Please let us know if you plan to bring children so that we can make the appropriate accommodations for life jackets. USCG only allows six passengers per boat… children are considered a person regardless of their age. This rule is not negotiable, sorry!

Drop off and pick up is dockside at Snook’s Bayside & Sundowners Key Largo: http://www.snooks.com/ & https://sundownerskeylargo.com/

The US Coast Guard regulations for our tiki boats is six people plus crew…. this includes children… NO EXCEPTIONS! For larger groups, you may rent additional tikis and cruise together. We are NOT permitted to tether together while cruising, however if anchored on a swim stop we may tether together for larger groups (over six people).

Since six people are the maximum number of guests permitted per tiki… If you are splitting your group it is recommended that you make reservations together under 1 name so that we know you are together! Payments can be split if you call to make the reservations. The online booking system might separate your party if you book your party separately in order to fill the tikis to their maximum capacity of six guests each.

We provide an ice-filled Yeti cooler, cups and bottled water. For food and alcohol, feel free to bring your own or you can order from Snook’s Bayside Restaurant or Sundowners Key Largo (please confirm your pickup location) www.snooks.com/ & www.sundownerskeylargo.com/
