Cool find Christiki, I work right across the channel so I'll go by and get some pictures. Thanks for posting.

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

"miami´s tikiship" looks much nicer:

That's a cool boat!

floating paradise

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?

i heard that besides "normal" events like weddings etc.
sometimes parties for "couples interested in the swinging lifestyle"
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.

you bet baby!!! woohoo!

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.

This is docked next to the ferry at Balboa Island, Newport Beach.

This is so faba-lus!

There is now a Tiki, Too, party boat, also in Marina Del Rey.
