BREATHE IN THE OCEAN AIR, BREATHE OUT YOUR STRESS, REPEAT FOR 90 MINUTES
ABOUT US
Meet Captain Scott
Captain Scott Paz designed and built the TiKi Time during the summer of 2019 and currently is building our second vessel for the 2025 season. Capt. Scott holds a 100 Ton Master License from the USCG and has fished the waters of New England commercially and recreationally for the past 40 years. Tiki Hut Boats passengers' safety and comfort are his priority.
Meet Captain Karen
Captain Karen is the owner, Thirst mate, First mate, clean-up crew, witty, sassy, comedic sidekick, and Captain Scott's wife. Captain Karen holds a 25Ton Master License from the USCG. Karen makes strangers feel like friends, and after 90 minutes around her, you might end up just that, a friend. She loves gardening, hanging with her family and pets, and making people laugh and smile.
Meet Leo
Leo is our behind-the-scenes go-to guy and Karen's dad. Leo delivers everything from the liquor and ice to our lunch and merchandise. Sometimes you'll catch him sitting on the dock, taking in the sights. Leo served in the Navy. He enjoys being on the water, walking, golfing, and spending time with Karen's mom, his wife of 60 years.
Meet Margo(rita)
Margo is our 9-year-old lab mix. We adopted her from Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem in 2017. Margo may greet you on the dock then you will find her asleep faster than you can ask for a Mai Tai.
PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR DOGS WILL BE ON EVERY CRUISE AS LONG AS THEY ARE HEALTHY.
Meet Greta
Greta is our new addition to our Tiki Family. She is a purebred Pembroke Welch Corgi with the Fluffie gene. She is absolutely the softest, sweetest lil thing you've ever set eyes and hands on. She was born on Aug 31, 2023. She has quickly stole our hearts (even Margo seems super happy to have a sister again). We hope that Piper will guide Greta from above into being an amazing member of our Tiki Crew.
PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR DOGS WILL BE ON EVERY CRUISE AS LONG AS THEY ARE HEALTHY.
Piper (2012-FEB 1, 2023)
Feb 1, 2023. Our beloved Piper has passed over the Rainbow Bridge. She fought hard for over a year with CHF and she lasted much longer than her Cardiologist expected. The love she brought to us and our guests is not measurable. We will all miss her dearly this season.
If you have a printed picture of Piper from a previous cruise with us please bring it with you on your next cruise. We plan on having an ole fashion photo album dedicated to Piper loving up to all that have met her.
Sweet dreams baby girl. You are Fur-ever in our hearts.
THE TIKITIME
Our vessel, "TiKi Time," is 21 feet long and over 15 feet wide. The Tiki Time is fully licensed and insured. It is equipped with all safety gear required by the USCG.
The Tiki Time was designed by Captain Scott and built at Dion Yacht Yard in the summer of 2019 with the help of his friend, Rob Montminy.
Cruise with Us!
90 Minute Harbor tours
Our Harbor Tours are approximately 90 minutes long. We will be cruising in the calm waters of Historic Salem Harbor. Salem Harbor is a No-Wake Zone, so don't be worried about big waves and the "motion of the ocean."
Hours of operation
Thursday through Tuesday 11 AM - 8:30 PM. May 5th through October 31st
Enjoy a refreshing cocktail
We have a full bar and offer a variety of refreshing cocktails, mocktails and beers for sale on board. We also sell assorted soft drinks, water, and snacks. We accept most major credit cards, apple pay, and cash on board.
On your scheduled cruise day
Tiki Hut Boats is located at Blaney St. in Salem, Ma. Public parking is available, but it is frequently full during peak hours. You may have to drive around several times or park on Derby St and walk back to Blaney St. Please plan accordingly. You should arrive at the pier and be ready to board 15 minutes before your departure time. We cannot wait for you, and you will not be refunded, so come early. There is a beautiful pier you can walk out on and soak up the harbor's beauty while you wait for your cruise. Please, don't miss the boat! We want you to have fun with us!
