Tiki Boats on the Three Rivers (Tues., 8/1/23)

What is a Tiki boat? Well, you could say it’s a floating form of the many popular “Tiki” appropriations from traditional Maori culture, designed to navigate not the South Pacific but the Three Rivers. You’ve got a little thatched hut on a waterborne platform, powered gently by an outboard motor and piloted by a skilled captain. There’s seating for six around a cozy bar. Food and drinks are BYO, and you can also bring your favorite sounds to play on the onboard sound system while you party with your peeps and behold the sights flowing by. Cruisin’ Tikis Pittsburgh offers two-hour group rentals, with cruises departing any time from early morn to around sunset. The company has three boats if you wish to float a delegation of up to 18. Reserve online in advance, because prime times (like fireworks nights near the Point) get booked early. Cruises with Cruisin’ Tikis are boarded at two launch points, on the North Shore near PNC Park and at the Station Square Marina. (M.V.)
