Yes, the Tiki Barges are BYOB. We have coolers on board filled with ice to keep your favorite beverages cold. We also have cups, bottle openers, wine openers, & miscellaneous barware available for your use. The boats do not have outlets for blenders or anything requiring a power cord. GLASS is prohibited as a safety precaution. Beverages in glass bottles (wine, alcohol, mixers, etc) MUST be poured into a plastic cup while on the boat. You may bring any drinks that you want (in moderation). However, shots are prohibited as is excessive intoxication.
Yes, there is parking available in the Christie’s parking lot where our docks are located. As you pull in, park on the left side of the parking lot near our green flags so you don’t have to lug your food & beverages too far! Parking fees will vary by day depending on the event taking place at the time. CLE Tiki Barge does not have any control over the parking lot, or any fees associated with parking there, as it is controlled by a third-party parking service. On most days, parking starts at $10.60 via credit card only.
We do our best to accommodate those with wheelchairs. If the person can be carried down the set of stairs leading to the boat docks and onto our boat, then the chair can be unfolded once on the boat, and the person can sit in their chair for the duration of the trip.
No, we are a smoke & drug free vessel so smoking of any kind is prohibited. Cigarettes, cigars, e-cigs and marijuana are all prohibited. In accordance with USCG law, any illegal substances brought aboard any of our vessels or consumed on our vessel must be reported to the Coast Guard and local authority as it is a federal offense to have illegal substances on a commercial vessel. The crew reserves the right to return to dock without refund if this rule isn’t followed.
Of course! We think everyone should be able to enjoy Cleveland from the water. Passengers under the age of 21 are allowed on private cruises. Children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian while on board. Passengers under 21 still count toward the maximum capacity allowed on each vessel. Please call us to indicate how many children will be in your party so that we have the correct number of children’s PFDs (life jackets) available. Children 12 & under may only ride on Original Tiki, Big Kahuna, & XL Barge PRIVATE CRUISES.
Food is not provided; however, you are welcome to bring it on board. Please be sure to bring plates & utensils as we do not provide those items. While bringing food & snacks are encouraged, you should be aware that a boat is a free-floating vessel that is affected by waves, wind, and other boat traffic. The bigger the spread you bring, the less likely we’ll be able to cruise the inner harbor, especially on weekends. Since heavy boat traffic creates waves, we do not want to see your food end up on the floor!
