After seeing the Tiki on previous trips to Negril, we finally booked a Sunset Cruise. It was one of the highlights of our entire vacation!! From start to finish the crew was professional, helpful and relaxed. They picked us up from our resort at the appointed time and took us on a ride up and down seven-mile beach, all the while providing us with as much beer/rum punch/water we wanted. We felt like we were on a floating party! And you can't beat the view of the famous Negril sunset from the water. Just gorgeous!!!
You can't miss the Tiki as it goes by your resort -- book one of their cruises. You will be so glad you did!
We already have our next trip to Negril planned and will be booking the lunch cruise. Can't wait!!!

Was in Negril with a few friends and looking for a relaxing adventure for the day and was pointed to Tiki Pon Da Sea by several people at the resort and we were not disappointed one bit!! I highly recommend booking one of their cruise options. We went on the lunch cruise and the lobster was phenomenal!! Chef Jami should have his own restaurant on the island, can’t repeat enough how good the food was!! Captain Beckham gave us a great tour of Booby Cay island while the Chef was preparing our lunch. The unlimited Rum Punch/Red Stripe was more than enough to quench our thirst and the hospitality of Jami/Beckham kept us entertained from the time we stepped foot on the vessel until the time we got off!! I can’t wait until my trip back to the island in June for another excursion with Tiki Pon Da Sea!!!

I first saw the Tiki boat 3 yrs ago and couldn’t wait to get back to Negril to take a trip. So we booked two… a lunch cruise and a sunset cruise. Both were fantastic. The lunch cooked on an open fire is superb and catered for an omnivore and myself who doesn’t eat fish (the chicken was perfect). Sunset booze cruise with plenty of time to take photos from the water was amazing. The crew are friendly, expert and so much fun. Don’t miss this if you are in Negril!

Let's be honest that boat is cute so darn cute I had to get on it. We were with a big group and unfortunately we all agreed for the money that we spent it was overrated. It was a short boat ride!! it said Unlimited drinks but it was just red stripe and the typical rum punch you get everywhere. We had enough time to drink a few beers and that was about it. We paid $60 a piece for a short boat ride and a couple beers. And when I wasn't finished with my beer at the end of that short ride I wasn't allowed to take it with me because they wanted that bottle . $60 and they're complaining about not getting money back from that beer bottle? seriously? Yes the whole Tiki thing is adorable but we could have paid $20 a piece brought our own beer and hopped on a glass bottom boat and had just as much fun. Next time I spend $60 I will go on one of the larger catamarans where you have 4 hours to drink red stripe you get to go snorkeling and you get a meal. Not to mention most of the guys on those catamarans have great personalities they get everybody up dancing it's just all in all more bang for your buck.

I’m sorry you didn’t see the “value” in your booked 90 min booze cruise. We really can’t be compared with your typical catamaran we bring a completely different vibe. It’s rare that we have complaints that lead to this so this is disappointing to see for sure. I did follow up with your group leader who advised he had “good vibes mon” so this was a shock to read considering your leader did not complain at all and said he had a good time. I am also a bit confused to see you leave a poor 2 star review here after we addressed your concerns already on your public FB forum post where you claimed “you aren’t trying to hurt our business” you just wanted to see everyone’s opinion on our excursion as you didn’t have the best time. Leaving a 2 star poor review here is hurtful to our business so just a bit confused and obviously concerned. And as far as asking for the bottles back, we take pride in our recycling program. Thanks And again I’m sorry we didn’t meet your expectations and you were left disappointed

Our group of 6 was scheduled to do the original 90 minute cruise. I was in touch with them and was offered to do our cruise a little earlier in the day, as the wind was staring to come up. This was not an option for us, as we were 3 couples kind of all going different directions but knew that we would meet up at 2:30 for our Tiki Cruise. The wind got stronger and stronger. This actually prevented us from being able to do our cruise. We still met up with the captain briefly and he was so professional in letting us know that it was not wise to be on the water with the weather getting worse. I felt like it was such great customer service to not just try and take us out and soak us for our cruise fee and then turn around and say it wasn't safe. Unfortunately we waited until the end of our trip to schedule our tiki cruise and had things already planned for our last day so we were not able to reschedule. So- now we know that when we come back we will schedule early in our trip and earlier in the day just to be safe. You just never know what mother nature is going to do. Thank you so much to the captain and his beautiful wife. I have seen many pictures on line of this sweet family and can't wait to get back to enjoy this awesome business they have created.

We looked forward to this trip for months and we were not disappointed! As part of our honeymoon, we thought this would be a fun way to see the sunset. We lucked out because we were the only people booked for this particular night! So it was a private sunset cruise. Our mates were amazing, played whatever music we liked and made sure our drinks were never empty. Loved hearing about the different resorts and homes we sailed by. Best part, they pulled up right to our resort when it ended!

Our time on the Tiki boat was hands down the highlight of the trip. We did the sunset trip and loved it so much we booked a lunch excursion a few days later. The team cooked lobster on a small private island and it was nothing less than AMAZING. I can’t emphasize enough how much fun the Tiki experience is! Outstanding service! It was an absolute blast. The staff was so lovely and the owners are very responsive. I would highly suggest everyone add this trip to your time in Jamaica.

What a fantastic experience. The boat was on time, and the staff was great particularly Beckman, who served as our host.
We started on seven-mile beach, then cruised all the way to Bloody Bay and back just in time for a magnificent Negril sunset.
Mr. Beckman served some Red Stripes and played some classic reggae on request.
He pointed out interesting things and was generally in good spirits.
This is a great way to enjoy Negril in a unique way. I loved it.
These guys took good care of us. We will be back with friends.

We booked “One Two Love Boat” for our group of friends and family to celebrate a 40th birthday. From the start to finish our experience was top notch and couldn’t have been easier to set everything up! We enjoyed our boat ride followed by lobster on the island. Everything prepared for us was so yummy 😋 Staff was great with our children and made us feel right at home. I don’t know who enjoyed our excursions more, the kids or the adults?!
We stay at Beaches Negril and they met us right on the beach which made everything easy. Everyone had a wonderful time and HIGHLY suggest YOU experience “One Two Love Boat” while in Negril!
I will be back in at the end of January to celebrate a girlfriends 50th birthday in Negril so I will be booking the morning blue mountain coffee & mimosa tour for us to experience and can’t wait 😊 Ya Mon!

We’ve been to Negril several times and watched the cool Tiki Pon Da Sea pass by but never took the time to call and book it.
Finally this year we did and so glad we did!!! It was so awesome and can’t wait to do the lobster lunch cruise to Booby Cay 🦞next year!!!
We called the day before and Fabian was super quick to call back and get us all booked.
Beckham and Jammy were super fun! Free flowing delicious Rum Punches 🍹 or Red Stripe. Before our cups were even empty Jammy was filling it up. Ya mon!
Someone from the tour ahead of us left her special flip flops at Booby Cay so Beckum stopped and picked them up for her. That is service!!!
It is really cool to see all the resorts and coastline from the boat. Plus it is just fun to be out on a boat drinking Rum Punches with friends!!
Thanks for a great time!! Can’t wait to book again.
If you go to Negril this is a MUST excursion. You will love it!

I’m looking to book in March. On the website we need to give food options. I believe Lobster won’t be in season. Is that right? If so what food options can we select from?

Happy to see you have your Covid certified status and congratulations on the wonderful reviews. What is the maximum number of people allowed on a Sunset Cruise due to safe social distancing. As a precaution we are continuing to avoid large crowds...while still having FUN on our vacation. We like to support locals and family businesses. We are visiting Nov 30-Dec 5.
