Meet the Boat

The Tiki Drifters floating tiki bar — a hand-built thatched-roof bamboo bar on a pontoon boat, docked on the Erie Canal in Fairport, NY

This is the real thing — no stock-photo rental you've seen a hundred times. Our floating tiki bar is hand-built from the pontoons up: a full thatched roof for shade, a custom bamboo bar, bar-stool seating for your whole crew, and — yes — a real onboard bathroom.

It's the only one like it drifting the Erie Canal in Fairport — and for a couple of hours, it's all yours.
