What to Bring on a Beachy Tiki Sunset Cruise in Ocean City NJ

What to Bring on a Beachy Tiki Sunset Cruise in Ocean City NJ
Evening on the bay is the easy win. Beachy Tiki runs from 228 Bay Ave. Big Tiki holds up to 32. Little Tikis hold up to 6. Hours are 9 AM–8 PM. Here’s what actually helps on a sunset cruise or a later Night Out charter.
The short list
- Drinks (BYOB) and a soft cooler bag if you want extras beyond the onboard coolers
- Snacks that travel well
- A light layer for the ride home after sunset
- Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat for the golden-hour glare
- A phone playlist if you care about the music (boats have a sound system)
- Cash or card for tips, and your booking confirmation
BYOB done right
Beachy Tiki is BYOB. Coolers are already on the boat. Keep glass reasonable, label your bags, and bring a trash bag for empties so the crew isn’t cleaning up after you. Soft drinks and water are on board. You’re here for the cruise, not a dockside scramble.
Clothes for sunset and Night Out
Day-to-evening swings get cool on the water. A hoodie or light jacket beats being stuck in a damp tee after the sun drops. Closed-toe shoes or grippy sandals are smarter than fresh white sneakers. If you’re on a Night Out charter later in the evening, dress for dark docks and a breezy ride back.
Music, photos, and kids
Each boat has a sound system. Bring a Bluetooth-ready playlist and keep volume respectful when other boats are nearby. For photos, the golden hour on the bay is the money shot. Life jackets and a restroom are on board. All ages are welcome on both Big Tiki and Little Tikis.
Where to show up
Meet at 228 Bay Ave, Ocean City, NJ. Call the umbrella line at 609-398-9000 if you’re running late. Arrive a few minutes early so boarding isn’t a sprint.
Book the cruise
Public Big Tiki seats, private Big Tiki charters (including Night Out), and private Little Tikis all book through Beachy Tiki. Pick your boat size first, then the time that hits sunset for your date.
