The story behind Barefoot Tiki Tours

Barefoot Tiki Tours was created to bring a more personalized, more memorable way to enjoy Sarasota from the water. We blend the easygoing spirit of a tiki cruise with an upscale experience that feels relaxed, welcoming, and distinctly coastal.

From sunset outings to dolphin and nature viewing to private group celebrations, every cruise is designed to help guests slow down, soak in the Gulf Coast scenery, and enjoy time together around Sarasota, Siesta Key, Lido Key, and Longboat Key.

What makes the experience special

We focus on the details that turn a simple boat ride into a standout Sarasota memory for couples, visitors, and groups.
