About Us

If you’re looking for a fun and relaxing way to enjoy the water on the # 1Tiki Boat, look no further than a fun and refreshing cruise provided by Red Tiki Tours LLC. Not your ordinary Tiki boat! We have a restroom for your convenience.

A Tiki Boat Ride is a joyful experience that combines the charm of tropical Charlotte Harbor with the convenience of a fun boating adventure. You can sit back and relax on our comfortable seats, sip on a refreshing beverage, and listen to your favorite music as you cruise along the scenic shoreline. While cruising, on “MAORI” (that’s her name) enjoy the views of Dolphins, Stringrays, Pelicans, and more. The sunset and the city lights from the water are amazing. Red Tiki Tours is perfect for any occasion, whether you want to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or just have some fun with your family and friends on Red Tiki Tours. You can choose from Day Tours or Sunset tour.
All tours are BYOB and Food. We offer a huge sound system and you can choose your music or ours, sing karaoke, and you will have plenty of fun. All tours booked are “Private” and just your group is on the boat; we don’t add people to fill the boat. Just your group, whether it’s 4 passenger or 13, it’s just your group you book.

Red Tiki Tours is more than just a boat ride, it’s are an adventure you will enjoy with your experienced and available knowledgeable Captain at the helm guiding you through local sightseeing interests. Check out our Facebook page.

Aaron Rositch

Captain Aaron grew up in Michigan and began sailing at the age of 6. In his teen years, he frequently took his daysailer out on Lake Michigan. In his 20s he moved to Wisconsin and boated on several different inland lakes with pontoon boats and express cruisers. In 2018 Captain Aaron purchased a 48ft Sedan Bridge motor yacht intending to do the Great Loop. In the spring of 2021, after selling their house and most of their possessions, Capt Aaron, his wife, and his cat moved aboard their boat and set out from Sturgeon Bay, WI on their Great Loop adventure. After arriving in Key West in January of 2022, Captain Aaron and his family decided they would make Southern Florida their permanent home and “would rather deal with hurricanes than live where the air hurts your face.”

Aaron also owns and operates Secure-A-Lift Incorporated, maker of boat lift restraint devices for high-wind events. Products and additional information can be found at www.securealift.com
