OUR STORY

It started with a concept we loved...

Floating tiki boats have taken over several lakes and waterways in recent years! Early on, our team was always very interested in getting 'on board' with the concept, and so we did. Most people in water towns and cities are familiar with the 'party on the water' and the adventure it brings visiting patrons.

One of our owners decide to have a tiki made for personal enjoyment. He soon realized the roar and attention this was getting all over the lake. Knowing people were eager to experience this new style of boat chartering, the business was born.

And here we are now...

Burlington is an exciting and vibrant small city located on the eastern shoreline of Lake Champlain. The area attracts tourists year-round, although spring, summer and fall are especially great. Downtown, shops and restaurants line pedestrianized Church Street Marketplace for your enjoyment. It is sure to not disappoint.

Visit us at Boathouse Marina at dock slip A2! We are just outside the Echo Science Museum, before Splash at the Boathouse. Grab a group of friends, bring some refreshments and snacks, join us for an exciting new way to explore the water on Lake Champlain!

SEE OUR REVIEWS

We had a FANTASTIC time! Captain Will and were so attentive and good natured. The trip was just the right length of time. We created a tiki boat play list and the crew was so good about playing it and singing along. We made fast friends with the other boat riders and had a blast. We loved every minute of it! Thanks crew!

We took a tiki boat tour tonight and had a blast!! Rowan and Will were the best deck hands/crew! Not only are they adorable, but they were personable, fun, and attentive!

Danielle B

Had a great time on our tour. Eve took very good care of us. Our captain had great information and history about the lake. What a fun afternoon! Will do this again.

Karen F

Family group of 13. We had a great time. Beautiful views. Boat crew Evie & OG were friendly, professional, & fun! We highly recommend this experience & we will be booking a double slot next summer.

Yvonne H

This was one of our most memorable experiences to date. Our tour guide, Brian, went overboard to ensure the four of us on this trip had an amazing time. He added extras that totally turned this excursion into a mind-blowing adventure.
