Get to know PonTiki and our Crew!
What is PonTiki and What do we offer?
At PonTiki Myrtle Beach, we bring the island party boat experience to the heart of the Grand Strand. Nestled on the Intracoastal Waterway near Myrtle Beach, our spacious 50-foot, USCG-inspected boat offers an all-inclusive, fun-filled cruise for friends, families, and groups, year-round!
Whether you join one of our public 2-hour cruises or reserve a private charter for special occasions with custom music, and custom cruise options, you’ll enjoy unlimited beer, wine, hard seltzers, sodas and water—all included.
We’ve built this to be easy, stress-free and memorable: No BYOB worries, no dealing with logistics—just great views, good music and good vibes for any group looking to do something different in Myrtle Beach.
How did PonTiki get started?
Our story began with an unforgettable party boat experience in Florida. Our founders were completely captivated by the vibrant energy, the laughter, and the sense of camaraderie they discovered aboard a PonTiki® boat. They knew they had found something truly special — a unique way to bring people together on the water — and they were determined to bring that same magic to their beloved Myrtle Beach.
From the very beginning, our mission has been simple: to provide a one-of-a-kind boat tour experience that goes beyond the ordinary. We wanted to create a place where friends and families can celebrate, dance, relax, and make memories together, all while enjoying the stunning waterways of Myrtle Beach. With our spacious boat, an all-inclusive bar, and an atmosphere that’s equal parts festive and welcoming, PonTiki® is more than a cruise — it’s an experience you’ll never forget.
