Client review, trip advisor.

“Best boat rental company in Charleston! Very chill, took us out for extra hours, the friki tiki is so much fun! Nothing else like it.”

“This was the most fun I’ve had in a while! If you are in Charleston the Friki Tiki is a must whether it’s a bachelor or bachelorette party or friends that just want to have a good time on the water. Bring all your friends and I promise you won’t be disappointed. The staff is also amazing. All around loved it and would do it again in a heat beat.”

“I went on the friki tiki boat where my friends and I ate and drank!! We got to watch the sunset and listen to awesome live music. This boat is great for bachelor parties, birthday parties, corporate events, or just a fun family outing!! I’d 100% go back on it any day! They had the best staff who took people back to the dock whenever they had to leave! It was an awesome experience and I can’t wait to go back!! IF YOU’RE IN CHARLESTON YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY THIS!!!”

“THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!! 10/10 recommend!!!! The captains were so nice and we had a blast! Great music and great atmosphere. Perfect for a bachelorette!!!”

Some friends booked this for me as a birthday gift and we had a great time. I didn't handle the booking, but I was told they were very responsive and informative about the tour. It's byob and snacks but they provide coolers and ice. We brought our own small cooler anyway to keep everything cold and it was a pro-move. When we arrived at the dock, it was a little confusing to figure out where we were supposed to be, but you park at brittlebank park and walk over to the ramp. There is no path or any signage for the tour so just trust your gut. We were ealy so we weren't concerned. They pulled up to the dock after gassing up and we all started to load onto the boat. There's seating all along the edges with coolers in the middle. The back of the boat is the captains area and the bathroom as well. Yes, there's a head on board, but it's strictly for #1. Don't get any poopy ideas because there's probably 5 stickers (piles of poop with a red circle and line through it) and reminders letting you know how uncool it is #2 on the tiki tour. We had a delay before we left the dock as a big storm was rolling by. The sky went dark and there was lightning off in the distance so we held tight and started with some drinks and getting to know our tiki tour companions. We also brok out our charcuterie and snack selection which was nice to handle while saddled up at the dock. We did get some rain sitting at the dock, but it passed quickly and we were on our way. We cruised through the charleston harbor taking in the sights, sunset, and musical stylings of Uncle Tim's Bench. Tim was probably my favorite part of the tour. He kept the mood light and fun singing some classic covers as well as a few originals as well. If you're a fan of Dispatch or OAR then you're gonna be a fan of Tim. The calm after the storm made for a beautiful evening cruise. We were going to stay out a little longer to make up for missed time at the beginning, but another pass of the storm was brewing so we doubled back to the dock. It was a good call because the rain came down about 30 seconds after we got in our car. Whether you're visiting or locals like us, check out the tiki tours of Charleston for a great time on the water. Extra pro tip: Tip your captain, deck hands, and entertainment. Some people didn't which leads me to believe that they either don't know that it's customary or they are rude. Everyone worked hard to ensure we had a safe and fun time so I was very appreciative.

Totally a chill fun time for Heather's bachelorette party! The husband and wife duo were really cool, we enjoyed ourselves!

We did the sunset music boat tour. It was a beautiful tour with an intimate concert. Def a unique experience worth doing on your travels.

If you are going to Charleston for a trip and want to have a fun harbor dance party book this trip! The staff is great, boat is cute and clean, so much room. BYOB too which is awesome.

What an incredibly fun experience this was! The captain, Tom, and his first mate, Shelby, were amazing! Couldn't ask for anything more out of an afternoon of boating in Charleston! Highly recommend!!!

Our captain was so much fun. He knows so much about the area and had us laughing almost the whole trip!

This tiki boat was the best part of our vacation! If we had known it was going to be that much fun, we would have planned more time and trips to different places. Next time!

The sunset cruise was totally awesome...it was almost like we were into the sunset!

Captain Nate took us to see the dolphins and the were swimming all over in front of the tiki as we were cruising...amazing pictures!

We felt like movie stars...all the boaters and people along the shore were taking our pictures and cheering...what an incredible time!
