Wildwood Live

About

Kick Back runs private, bring-your-own-drinks tiki boats from Bay Pointe Marina, 704 W Burk Ave in Wildwood. Each trip is just your group. You bring the food and drinks, and the boat supplies coolers with ice, bottled water, cups, a Bluetooth stereo, a bathroom and a captain licensed by the Coast Guard. The thatched roof gives some cover from sun and light rain.

There are six kinds of trip: Rise N' Shine in the morning, Mid-Day, Afternoon, Happy Hour, Sunset and Wildwoods by Night. Most last two hours and cruise along the Intracoastal waterway. You can swim only when the captain has anchored the boat and says it is okay. The company also promotes the boats for bachelorette parties.

When to go

Trips run seven days a week through the summer, from morning to after dark, and the boats are off the water in winter. Cruises go rain or shine, but if the company has to cancel for weather, you get a refund or a gift card, depending on whether you bought traveler's insurance. Its policies page lists the other cancellation terms. Check the booking page for dates.

Good to know

There are two boats: the smaller carries up to 6 passengers and the larger up to 18. Arrive 15 minutes early. Anyone under 18 must come with a parent or guardian, anyone under 21 can't drink, and children 12 and younger must wear a life jacket. A 20 percent tip is standard. Smoking and THC are not allowed on board. The company says booking by phone avoids the online booking fee.

Price

Prices are per boat, not per person, and vary by tour and boat, so check the booking page for your date.
