Some bars have a view of the water. This one IS the water. Tampa’s only authentic floating tiki bar cruises the Hillsborough River past the skyscrapers, the famous Riverwalk and the heart of downtown, turning an ordinary afternoon into a floating party.
A Coast Guard-licensed captain handles the driving while you and your group sip your favorite drinks — you bring your own beverages and snacks, and the boat provides coolers with ice plus a Bluetooth speaker for your playlist. No overpriced bar tabs, no crowds, just your crew, your music and the skyline sliding by.
The cruise earns 4.69 stars from 404 happy sailors, and tickets start at $59.95. It is BYOB, family-friendly for daytime rides and tailor-made for birthdays, bachelorettes or simply a Tuesday that deserves better. Tampa sightseeing does not get more fun than this.
