🌴 Ahoy! A Brand-New Tiki Boat Adventure Hits Southport & Oak Island

If you love tropical vibes, sunshine, and coastal charm, you’re going to be thrilled—there’s a brand-new tiki boat cruise launching right here in our backyard!

🚤 Introducing the “Island Hopper” Tiki Boat

Word is spreading fast in local Facebook groups that “Ohana, our new Island Hopper vessel” is officially on the water—serving both Southport and Oak Island guests for private sunset and daytime cruises. Imagine a floating tiki bar with string lights, tropical cocktails of your own design, great music, and all the fun of a beach getaway—on a boat!

🌅 What to Expect Aboard the tiki Time

  • Scenic Routes – Glide along the Cape Fear River near Southport Yacht Basin before weaving into the Intracoastal Waterway towards Oak Island.

  • Customizable Experiences – Book private charters for birthday bashes, anniversaries, girlfriend getaways, or just a chill sunset with friends.

  • BYOB & Beats – Bring your favorite drinks and playlists. The socials are buzzing: one community post mentioned their catamaran-style vessel is “perfect for birthday celebrations” southportwatertours.comfacebook.com.

  • Family-Friendly Fun – While the vibe is tropical and festive, it’s also kid- and pet-friendly—no wild parties, just warm vibes and community energy.

🌇 Why We’re Excited

Southport is already famous for its picturesque views, waterfront dining, and relaxing sunset cruises aboard boats like The Sally Ann. Oak Island, too, is growing its reputation as a low-key coastal getaway, with kayaking, beach concerts, and lighthouse tours .

The new tiki boat takes that charm up a notch—with a tropical twist. Whether you’re sipping a margarita at sunset or dancing to island tunes under the stars, the Tiki Time promises a fun—and Instagram-worthy—coastal adventure.

🗓️ Book Your Trip & Ride the Wave!

  • Ideal Timing: Late spring through early fall is perfect—sunset cruises catch golden skies over the water.

  • How to Reserve: Details are emerging, but insiders suggest booking through local charter companies operating Southport ↔ Oak Island routes, or via Facebook groups like “Oak Island Community.”

  • Perfect For: Birthday parties, romantic date nights, family adventures—or a fun crew of friends looking to island-hop with flair.
