The Tiki Pub has opened up a new location on Fort Myers Beach, with a stand in front of Snug Harbor

Waterfront Restaurant along with dock slips for their sightseeing and party boats.

The boats are now docking at docks behind Bayside Veterans Park off Old San Carlos Boulevard, with a stand in front of Snug Harbor Waterfront Restaurant to sign folks up for rides on their boats.

Tiki Pub has there different boats, ranging from a six-passenger boat with a water slide to a 28-person boat that travels from the docks at Snug Harbor around the bay and even to the Gulf.

The boats have a party atmosphere with karaoke singing and line dancing, said owner Darcy Kuenzel. Kuenzel said the boats

will take parties to locations around the bay to celebrate and enjoy the vistas around the water. The boats can stop at

sandbars to allow guests to enjoy the sand and cook a meal or play volleyball or go out on the water on paddles or floats.

There are coffee cruises that start as early as 8:30 a.m. as wellas sunset cruises, dinner parties and glow party cruises at night.

Kuenzel said the glow parties can involve body painting and glow glasses.

“It has been well received,” Kuenzel said of the Tiki Pub expansion to Snug Harbor Waterfront Restaurant. Kuenzel said their operations have seen a lot of growth.

“We started out with one boat and now we are up to three,” Kuenzel said.

Kuenzel said that after Hurricane Ian they were offering free local rides to residents. The dance parties reduced stress fron the hurricanes, she said. “We love the locals,” she said.

The typical boat ride will circle the bay for a couple of hours orstop at a sandbar around Fort Myers Beach.

In addition to picking up the boats at Snug Harbor Waterfront Restaurant, customers can also park at Excursions Marina off San Carlos Boulevard on Fort Myers Beach.
