Boarding the Tipsy Tiki — Dock, Parking & Check-In

Our floating tiki bar ties up at 530 Harbor Blvd on the Destin Harbor — here’s how to find the dock, park, and step aboard.

Where You’ll Board

The Tipsy Tiki Destin: 530 Harbor Blvd, Destin, FL 32541 · (866) 602-6137
On Harbor Blvd (Highway 98) along the Destin Harbor boardwalk — look for the thatched tiki roof on the water. Get directions

Parking

The Tipsy Tiki (530 Harbor Blvd): free parking right at the dock, first come, first served — when the lot fills, overflow waits just up the hill at 531 Mountain Drive.

Check-In

Tiki cruises are fully captained — arrive 45 minutes early with a photo ID and the crew takes it from there. Booking a jet ski or pontoon instead? Take the Florida temporary boater test online before you arrive (drivers born on or after January 1, 1988 need it) — it makes check-in easier and faster, with the $3 NASBLA test available dockside as backup.

Bring aboard: your favorite drinks and snacks in a soft-sided cooler (skip the glass), reef-safe sunscreen, and a hat that can handle a breeze. Weekends fill fast — book about 48 hours out.

Easy booking and amazing time!

The boat is worth it especially with a group ! Best way to see crab island and explore . Always book here boats , jet skis !! We keep coming back because the customer service thanks were from out of town & always book here when in town . Dolphin tour was cool for less expirenced jetski riders there’s a tour guide! Keeps group together. Go first or last if you want to get some speed away from others.

Hands down, the best equipment and group of people!

I just wanted to send a special thanks to Jason, Taylor, and the whole staff over at Crab Runner Island. There are a lot of places you can rent a watercraft but not all of them have the a caring, friendly, and down right awesome owner and staff that Crab Runner Island have.

If you're looking for a fun!

If you're looking for a fun, laid-back way to enjoy the beautiful waters of Destin, book a trip on the Tipsy Tiki Boat! This was hands-down one of the best experiences of our trip. From the moment we stepped on board, the vibes were perfect and the crew was amazing.

Awesome service from the employees to the equipment!

We rented a pontoon boat for 4 hours and we actually got there about an hour too early and they let us get on the boat as soon as we got there anyway(basically got an extra hour for no extra charge). All staff was super nice and helpful with any questions we had. Boats are fairly new and in very good condition and well maintained. They were also the cheapest price compared to other places we had called. Definitely will be coming back next time we are back in Destin!

WE HAD A BLAST!!!

To celebrate my son's 12th birthday I booked their dolphin jetski tour and parasailing. WE HAD A BLAST!!! We saw 5 dolphins and 4 sharks while on the jetskis. Tyler was amazing. Our parasailing experience was also great. I can't remember the other guys name but him and Tim made it one to remember. If you're ever in the area definitely visit!!!
