Florida's largest tiki boat departs daily from our home slip at Regatta Pointe Marina — public per-passenger tickets and private charters for up to 40 guests on the Manatee River.
Welcome to Riverside Tours Inc., departing straight from our primary home slip at the premier Regatta Pointe Marina in Palmetto, Florida. Whether you're buying individual tickets for a scheduled cruise or booking an unforgettable private event, our custom-built, USCG-inspected commercial tiki vessel keeps your entire party together on one spacious, safe, and fully staffed boat.
Unlike local rental boats that cap groups at 6 or 12, our 45-foot Trident pontoon accommodates up to 40 passengers — making us the only real option in Palmetto and Bradenton for large groups who want to stay together, party together, and cruise safely as one.
You don't need to rent the whole boat. Buy an individual seat on any of our daily scheduled departures from Regatta Pointe Marina and join fellow river lovers for a premium guided experience.
Beat the Florida heat with an early cruise down the historic Manatee River. Interactive narration covers local ecology, wildlife, and river history. Dolphins and manatees sighted frequently near Snead Island.
