WILDWOOD, N.J. — There is a new attraction for adults in the Wildwoods this summer — a tiki cruise that allows you to bring your own booze and snacks.
Sawyer and Vineland native Capt. Tim Merighi showed off their Tahitian-inspired boat that’s making a big splash down the shore this summer in West Wildwood’s Bayview Marina. The two studied at Saint Joseph’s University and thought of the concept during the pandemic last year. They officially launched what they call a kick back tiki cruise last week.The custom-made boat is essentially a floating bar. It’s decked out with comfortable stools and Bluetooth speakers. They even fit a restroom.
“We have things that are easy to eat. So we want people to be comfortable, have a drink and be able to eat at the same time,” owner Sondra Barbour said. “So we have some fan favorites, something for everyone.”
