The Largest Tiki Boat in Florida
Onboard Rest Room!
Less Than a Mile Across the River From Bradenton!
Palmetto, Florida, is the home of the Riverskipper 2, the first and only tiki boat on the Manatee River. The River Skipper 2 is a 2006 Trident 45, which carries up to 40 passengers on a fun-filled guided tour of the Manatee River, Terra Ciea Bay, and Lower Tampa Bay. Or take a “trip the light fantastic” party cruise downriver with some of the best music ever created by the human imagination.
We are docked at Regatta Pointe Marina, right across the river from Bradenton in Palmetto, FL. We offer two family-friendly day tours, one at 10:00 a.m. and one at 1:00 p.m., or our adult-oriented Sunset Cruise beginning 45 minutes before sunset. We also provide four-hour Pub Crawls and four-hour Beach Parties. We are available for birthdays, weddings, business meetings, memorial services, charters, and much more!
We also have a restroom with running water and complimentary water and ice for your drinks. We have padded seating and plenty of tables. Your comfort is our main concern on the River Skipper II, and you will be surprised at how our seating is arranged for a much more sociable environment.

The perfect summertime activity. Lets get out on the water early before the sun has a chance to heat things up. Check out the sites, the ecology and the history soaked Manatee River and drink in the Riverside Tours experience.
Our afternoon guided tours, like our Morning Tours, are filled with the history and ecology of the Manatee River and surrounding area, with a few amusing anecdotes thrown in to make your cruise fun for the whole family.
Our most popular cruise, the sunsets, can dazzle your eyes and stir your imagination into vestiges of romance as the evening begins its twilight song. Then, as we cruise back up the river, don your dancing shoes and prepare to "trip the night fantastic" as the party gets underway.
Pub Crawl
Our ultimate party cruise created for the party animal. We cruise the Manatee River and visit the local watering holes along the way. The music is loud and the spirits are high as the River Skipper II cuts a course through brackish waters where the names of local establishments ring out at our ports of call.
Beach Run
There is nothing quite like the soft sandy beaches on the Gulf of Mexico. We can get you to an exotic getaway where sand and surf embrace with soft caresses and salty kisses.
We have several beaches to choose from including a clothing optional shore where there are natives in the area who are free-spirited and will shed all their clothing at the drop of a hat. Yes, there will be nudity.
Charter
There is much more than meets the eye here at Riverside Tours. We can do much more than most tour boats in our area. You can charter the River Skipper II for All kinds of events, such as, baptisms, graduations, weddings, receptions, funerals, memorials, and so much more. We are here for you, and you are limited only by your imagination.
