Turnkey Paddle Pub & Tiki Pub – Fast-Growing Coastal FL Biz
Business Description
This listing includes two fast-growing, coastal Florida charter tour operations—Paddle Pub Daytona Beach and Tiki Pub Ponce Inlet—packaged as one turnkey, branded offering with full franchise support. Together, they offer a unique opportunity to own and scale two of the region’s most recognizable on-the-water experiences. This business group has seen 40% year over year growth year-to-date and is expected to continue growing.
Paddle Pub Daytona Beach
Established in 2022, Paddle Pub Daytona Beach operates a U.S. Coast Guard-inspected 20-passenger cycleboat with an onboard head (restroom), docked at Halifax Harbor Marina. The vessel offers two-hour public and private BYOB tours on the Intracoastal Waterway and is fully equipped with pedal stations, a central bar, Bluetooth sound system, and life-saving equipment.
The business caters to a wide range of customers including locals, tourists, bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthdays, and corporate groups. Routes showcase scenic coastal views and offer optional bar stopovers depending on guest preferences. With strong visibility, consistent bookings, and a premium waterfront location, Paddle Pub Daytona is positioned as a go-to group experience in the Daytona Beach market.
Tiki Pub Ponce Inlet
Founded in 2023, Tiki Pub Ponce Inlet complements the Paddle Pub by offering a more intimate experience aboard a 6-passenger tiki-style charter boat, launched from Off the Hook Marina, a well-trafficked waterfront hub near the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse.
The tiki boat offers 90 minute to 4 hour charters with a tropical atmosphere, allowing guests to bring their own drinks, enjoy custom playlists, and cruise the calm backwaters of Ponce Inlet and New Smyrna Beach. Most tours are going on sandbar trips with lily pads as well. Ideal for couples, small parties, and visitors seeking a relaxing, photo-friendly outing.
