Who We Are
PartyBoatsForSale.com is a TourScale Company
We're the marketplace for commercial party boats — tiki boats, cycle boats, and Cruisin' Tikis — built by TourCraft, the manufacturing arm of TourScale. The Cruisin' Tikis brand is a TourScale franchise, with 110+ operating boats across 40+ U.S. markets.
If you want a new branded asset, you'll be joining the operator network. If you want a used boat with no strings attached, we've got those too.
Why TourScale
Franchise Benefits
Protected Territory
Exclusive operating rights in your market. No internal competition from another franchisee on your waterway.
Asset-Backed Investment
The bulk of your investment goes into the boat — a revenue-generating asset — not just fees.
Multi-Brand Stacking
Layer Cruisin' Tikis with Trolley Pub, Pedal Pub, Paddle Pub, and Tiki Pub in the same territory for multiple revenue streams.
Booking Platform
Proprietary booking, AI-powered guest engagement, and operational tools — included with franchise membership.
Training & Support
Operations training, staffing playbooks, managed marketing, and ongoing support from the corporate team.
Asset Procurement
Direct relationship with TourCraft — the in-house manufacturer. Commercial-grade, USCG-compliant boats built for daily use.
Getting Started
How to Start
Evaluate your market
Coastal cities, lake towns, resort destinations, and downtown riverfronts perform best. We help you assess your market's potential.
Choose your path
A new Cruisin' Tikis 16 includes TourScale franchise membership — territory, brand, technology, and ongoing support. Used boats are sold to independent operators with no franchise requirement.
Secure financing
Tiki boat business startups typically run $80K–$150K+ depending on scope. Asset-backed financing means most goes into the boat itself.
Get licensed
Obtain your USCG captain's license (OUPV for 6-passenger operations) and local operating permits. We've navigated regulations in dozens of markets.
Launch and grow
Many operators are profitable within their first season. Add boats and stack brands as you scale.
