Tiki Boats

[TiltonBB]

There is a big difference in liability and licensing, and liability insurance cost, if you provide alcohol to your passengers.

When the worst happens it is way easier to say "I had no idea they had that much to drink" than "Yes Your honor, I did serve them 9 drinks"

The women on my boat haven't flashed since 1982, so I could be a customer. But transferring food, drinks and snakes (sic) from one boat to another seems like too much work. Maybe they'll just drive my boat and bring their own flashers?
What's the allure? For those of us who own boats, it doesn't seem like they offer much except decor. Lotta fun for vacationers who don't own a boat.

As a boat owner myself, I thought, "this is gonna be boring as can be", but the fun was just being with the family on the water singing and drinking, (soft drinks for me...the days of day drinking are looonnnggg gone). Could we just do that on our own boat? Of course, but there was something fun about having a lei around my neck in a kick-line with my son and daughter, belting out "New York, New York", along with Frank Sinatra, on a Tiki bar boat!
