Celebrating aboard Riptide
Good to know

Every charter is private and made for you

Bring up to 12 guests, your own food and drinks, and the people you love. We'll tailor the route to your interests and the day's conditions.

A professional captain can be added on request, and if the weather doesn't cooperate, safety comes first — we'll work with you to reschedule or find the best option.
