Yes children are allowed. We don't want them to miss out cruising on the tiki boat. Children under the age of 12 are required to wear a life jacket which we have on board or you can bring your own (recommended). Please let us know if you plan to bring children so that we can make the appropriate accommodations for life jackets. USCG only allows 6 passengers per boat... Children are considered a person regardless of their age. This rule is not negotiable, sorry! We also recommend when bringing children on board to reserve a private charter... If small children become fussy it may ruin other passenger's experience.
