This begs the age-old question again: While it says Tiki on it, does it have Tiki in it?

That is a VERY cool boat. I gotta wonder, though, about those pillow-covered, comfy-looking beds on the deck. Just what type parties are they hosting? Hmmm? :o

Wow! That is a whole floating quiet village, not bad! They must have refurbished an old Mississippi river boat.

Here is a beauty, the name is not mentioned, just that it is Captain Bean's Cruise in Kona:

It was obviously modeled after the Tahitian double hull war canoes, who must have had some really nice Tiki post carvings:

I recently saw a boat with Tiki bow figures at Balboa Island....wasn't there a post about that here, too?

take place at this ship ...

Good Question.
The answer what you might expect:

Yes - but very minimal, both in size and number. More likely added as an afterthought.

I had a good look inside this afternoon. The upper deck is a great inside lounge!

Costs are about $60 per person with a 3-hour cruise and a cash bar, which is less expensive than Hornblower for a party, but yet not inexpensive.

I got a "guided tour" from one of the servers who was setting up. It features PNG Tiki style masks, and a very cool cocktail vibe.
