Safe Boating: How to Cruise Like a True Tiki Captain


At Tiki Boats Rental, your adventure starts off relaxed: we tow you the first few meters out of the harbor, so you can begin your trip worry-free. But once you’re at the helm, it’s important to follow a few simple rules. Don’t worry – we’ve listed them for you!

🟡 Watch for the Yellow Buoys
As soon as you hit open water, you’ll spot them: yellow buoys. These mark shallow areas. Steer well clear of them – the water may be shallower than it looks.

Follow the Black Line on the Map
On the onboard map, you’ll see a black line. This marks your mandatory route to cross the Spanish Water. Stick close to this line for a safe and smooth ride.

🟠 Orange Mooring Buoys = Safe to Dock
Want to stop or dock for a bit? Look for the orange buoys. These indicate safe mooring spots. Many of them are also connected to floats or chill-out areas where you can tie up your Tiki BBQ Boat.

Do Not Sail Between the Islands
Tempting as it may look, those little islands are risky. Shallow waters and hidden rocks can be dangerous. The water between the islands is often knee-deep or even ankle-deep.

📏 Always Stay at Least 20 Meters from Shore
Cruising close to the shore might look nice, but a few years ago, rocks fell into the water. These are hard to see, so keep your distance to avoid surprises like rocks or sandbanks.

🔵 Blue Ropes Onboard? Keep Them In!
You’ll find blue ropes onboard – they’re used to tie up the Tiki BBQ Boat to piers or orange buoys. Make sure they stay inside the boat while sailing, or they might get caught in the motor.

📻 Need Help? Call Us on the Radio!
Every Tiki BBQ boat is equipped with a radio. If you’re unsure about something or need assistance, just give us a shout – we’re here for you! And if you run out of drinks, feel free to call us too.
