About Cruisin’ Tikis

Greg Darby founded Cruisin’ Tikis around its recognizable octagonal floating tiki bars. Handcrafted vessels with thatched roofs gave the business a visual identity suited to waterfront outings, with captains leading daytime, sunset and private trips.

On January 24, 2025, TourScale announced an agreement to acquire the brand. The announcement described plans to combine Cruisin’ Tikis with its wider group of experiential-tour businesses and expand access to marketing, technology and operating resources.

Today, the Cruisin’ Tikis website directs franchise inquiries to TourScale. Its current brand presentation retains the floating tiki-bar experience while connecting local operators with TourScale’s franchise support platform.

Cruisin’ Tikis Training and Support

TourScale’s current brand overview describes training, captain licensing support and launch assistance. It also lists guidance on insurance and regulatory matters alongside access to its booking platform and national marketing.

The Cruisin’ Tikis operating-support overview identifies booking, customer service, boat maintenance, brand management and staffing as areas covered by its systems and resources. These subjects connect the guest experience with the work of managing a vessel-based business.

Continuing support described by TourScale includes operational and growth assistance and access to the franchise-owner network. Owners can draw on these resources while developing local bookings and organizing their tour operation.

Why Cruisin’ Tikis

Cruisin’ Tikis offers a memorable product for a waterfront market: a social outing aboard a floating tiki bar. Its distinctive appearance and private-trip options give a local operator a clear experience to introduce to visitors, residents and groups.

The model may fit a hands-on owner who enjoys hospitality and careful logistical planning. Shared booking and marketing resources support the business, while local leadership shapes the customer experience and daily operation.
