Shore Thing Tiki Cruises

Our family and friends had a fantastic time renting a private sunset cruise. The staff and boat were amazing!

I highly recommend this tour. We did a dolphin cruise. It’s reasonably priced plus Captain Jim and Rocky were great. Very informative . Loved this tour!

My family and I had the best time!! Trevor and Phillip were awesome!

Thank you Captain Justen and Roe from Shore Thing Tiki Cruises. We had a wonderful 2.5 hour cruise. Our family got to do a little sightseeing, stopped at a sandbar to swim and we found sand dollars and couch shells. They were alive so we returned them to the water but it was so fun showing them the kids. We then got to see some dolphins. It was a great trip and would definitely recommend this company. Thank you

The captain and crew went out of their way to find dolphins, spectacular views of the sunset and tour of the island.

Great captain and deck hand.
Wonderful experience seen manatees, dolphins. Alot of other sea creatures. They cater to what you want , if your not sure they will make suggestions. Was also shown a lot of the local history. Would recommend and will use them again.

Captain and first mate/hostess were very kind and attentive, resulting in a smooth, comfortable and safe trip that was also lots of fun - all for the most reasonable private trip charge for 7 we could find on the island!

JUSTIN and TREVOR were the best! Very friendly and helpful and a lot of fun!!

Highly recommend Shore Thing Tiki Cruises!
Our family had an amazing adventure with Captain(s) Trevor and Frank on a 2.5 hour private tour. Stopping at a couple of sandbars we enjoyed swimming and looking for shells. Trevor was amazing with our 2 grandchildren, helping them find lots of conch shells and crabs, while teaching them about sea life. Thank you Trevor and Frank!

Absolutely perfect!!! I took my husband on the dolphin sighting cruise for his birthday. They exceeded my expectations by far. Very comfortable boat, the crew was amazing, and we saw lots of dolphins!!! Love the BYOB option. We will be coming back very soon! Thank you for an incredible day!

We love doing this private cruise with family and friends when we are vacationing in Anna Maria Island! For Spring Break our party of 9 went out with Captain Trevor and first mate Katie. They were so friendly and professional and showed us different parts of the area. We got to go to a sandbar and find shells, find sand dollars, saw dolphins and they even let my kids drive the boat. My daughter loved Katie and had to get a huge hug from her before we left. Thanks so much for the memories!

I got married on AMI last weekend and we wanted to start the party with a boat cruise for our guests who were traveling for the wedding. Shore Thing Tiki Cruises put on the BEST day for us. We had 40 people on the cruise and I had been going back and forth with Rick for months asking questions and adding people to our party. He always answered my emails almost immediately and accommodated the needs of our group. We had a beautiful day out on the water and the crew were SO much fun. We brought our own drinks on the boat and the crew were always one step ahead of us, with our next drinks ready. I can’t recommend Shore Thing Tiki Cruises enough and I can’t wait to go back! Our guests talked the boat cruise the entire wedding weekend. Thank you so much for starting off our wedding weekend!!

Our family had a great time on our Dolphin Cruise! The driver and our guide were both very informative and treated us kindly! The price point was also very affordable. Highly recommend 🛥️🐬🌊

We cannot say enough good things about our experience on our 2.5 hour adventure! Capt Philip and Katie are the BEST! They were extremely knowledgeable, kid-friendly and created one of the highlights of our trip! They went the extra mile to make it fun for the kiddos. Highly reccomend adding Shore Thing Tiki Cruises to your to-do list when visiting the area!!

For my father's Christmas gift, we decided on a private trip with Shore Thing Tiki Cruises, and it was an incredible experience for our whole family. From the moment we stepped onto the boat, the crew made us feel welcome and comfortable. They shared fascinating insights about the area, pointing out landmarks and local wildlife, which added so much to the trip.
One of the most memorable parts of the experience was how the crew went out of their way to take family photos for us. They didn't just snap quick pictures—they captured the beauty of the setting and the joy of the moment. Those photos are now some of our favorites from the day. Finding a service that balances professionalism with a warm, personal touch so seamlessly is rare.
As a local and the founder of AMI Beach Weddings, I've found that Shore Thing Tiki Cruises offers a wonderful way for my couples and their families to create special memories during their time on Anna Maria Island. Whether it's a relaxing pre-wedding outing, a chance for families to connect, or simply an unforgettable experience on the water, I confidently recommend them as a unique addition to any destination wedding celebration. Their thoughtful service and attention to detail make every trip feel truly memorable.
