Soup to nuts a great experience! Tom himself answered our questions directly via email before booking our group sunset tour for 12 people. They were able to do a "direct pickup" at the dock near our house (no charge), and everything on the boat was "as advertised." Captain Max was our Skipper for the evening and was knowledgable, kind, and professional. Great night!

We live on the island and wanted to take a tiki tour ride just to relax and enjoy a different experience. It was that and more! Captain Tom was extremely informative and friendly. The boat was clean, comfortable and plenty of room for everyone. Highly recommend!

We had a family celebration, 10 of us, and it could not have been more fun. Tom was a fantastic captain. Taking us around the bay and anchoring on a sandbar for swimming. We partied and swam and found a new friend in Tom. My family says I hit a home run with this trip. Thanks Tom. A day to remember. .

We didn’t end up sailing with Captain Tom due to weather and a few members of our group feeling under the weather, but I would still highly recommend booking with him. He was incredibly kind, responsive, and accommodating throughout the entire booking and rescheduling process. Captain Tom offered alternative times, kept in touch with us, and made everything seamless. His professionalism and thoughtfulness really stood out.

We took the Tiki Boat out of LBi yesterday for a sunset cruise and had the best time. Max, our captain, was awesome. The bay was choppy, but not only did he do a great job driving, he was very informative and made sure we were getting the best experience. I can't forget to mention Tom who was great dealing with the reservation. Can't wait to do this again next year!

Great! Took a bunch of kids (and our dog) out for a cruise of Barnegat Bay - a little sightseeing, some swimming, and a comfortable ride. Captain Tom was a great host and the tiki boat allows plenty of room and the option for either sun or shade. Highly recommended.
