No, our octagon shaped floating tiki bars are the only authentic tiki boat in Tampa. Our small tikis offer a much different and a one-of-a-kind experience compared to overcrowded pontoon boats claiming to be a tiki boat because they have added a thatch roof. Don’t sell yourself short and do the real thing!
