"The Oasis"
Custom-built to bring the ultimate Jimmy Buffett-style cruise to you, *"The Oasis"* is the latest, largest, and most luxurious tiki boat on Charlotte Harbor. Relax on plush lounge couches, sip drinks at the elevated bar, and enjoy immersive surround sound from 10 Bluetooth speakers — all while taking in breathtaking sunset views.

Booze
Bring your own booze and we’ll handle the rest. Just bring your favorite drinks (no red wine please), and we’ll keep them perfectly chilled in our onboard coolers and fridge. We provide cups, ice, mixers, and chasers — and if you bring liquor, we’ll mix your cocktails for you!
Food
Light snacks, chips, and charcuterie boards are available for purchase on board. You’re also welcome to bring your own food — we provide plates, utensils, and napkins to make it easy.

Before you go
Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to board. The boat will leave on time and no refunds will be issued for late arrivals.
Our Primary Departure point is:
Laishley Park Marina Dock D1. 120 Laishley Ct. Punta Gorda FL 33950
Please park and walk down the ramp to the Left of the public boat ramp and look for the boat The Oasis.
Please fill out the online waiver form BEFORE boarding. It will be sent to your booking email on file. Please also share the link with all in your party as it only gets sent to the primary booking email.
You have booked our PUBLIC or Shared cruise. You are welcome to bring snacks and drinks, including alcohol on board. There is also a small selection of snacks and drinks available for purchase if you would like also.
BYOB alcohol is allowed on our PUBLIC/Shared Tiki boat charters. Please keep in mind that our crew reserves the right to NOT serve an intoxicated guest. Our First Mate/Bar tender will take care of your drinks for you and keep them on ice behind the bar. We ask that you bring cans/premixed drinks, and limit the hard liquor/mixed drinks. We prefer cans over glass bottles for space and safety,
Just like in a restaurant, a tip is not mandatory. It is customary in the charter industry to tip the captain and first mate. A tip is a great way to show appreciation for the quality of service you were provided, and charter etiquette is between 18-22% of the total cost of the cruise.
Closed toe shoes are recommended for your safety, however if you prefer flip flops that's great also. High heeled shoes are not permitted onboard as you will slip. The deck can get slippery when wet.
We go rain or shine, so it's recommended to bring a light raincoat especially during the summer months.
Any guests under the age of 6 years old are required to wear a life jacket at all times. While we do have all the required USCG equipment onboard, many find it more comfortable for their little ones if they bring their own life jackets.
We require a minimum of 10 guests for our shared cruising option. We reserve the right to cancel for any reason. If we do, you will be offered a chance to reschedule or offered a full refund.
