The sunset cruise was beautiful and peaceful! Our captain, Jesse, was accommodating and fun as well! Definitely recommend it for anyone here!

This was hands down our favorite part of the entire Nashville bachelorette trip. Jesse was the best captain, the setup was excellent, and our trip around the lake was phenomenal! Highly recommended!

Kyle was our captain and he was so friendly and fun to talk to. He even let us stop to put our feet in. 10/10 would recommend. This was the perfect experience to add to our trip.

Our boat driver, Kyle, was the best! They conveniently provided a cooler with ice and we even got free drink koozies and flower leis that made the experience so special! We will definitely be coming back for more good times !

Cruisin’ Tikis Nashville

Climb Aboard One of Nashville’s Hidden Gems and Discover the Place Where Hometown Meets Paradise

Article by Cassidy Polman

Photography by Crystal Stephens and Relive Studios

Originally published in Mount Juliet City Lifestyle

If you’re looking for a little piece of paradise this summer, you don’t have to go far. Nashville has the perfect oasis right in its own backyard! It’s time to put the spotlight on Cruisin’ Tikis Nashville and discover this town’s tropical treasure. Visitors can find the popular tiki boats located directly in front Awedaddy’s Bar & Grill on Old Hickory Lake’s Gallatin Marina. Cruisin’ Tikis Nashville immediately sets the tropical tone on every cruise by greeting their passengers with leis, koozies, and a good time! Grab your favorite beverage, bring your favorite people, and let’s cruise! 

Andrea and Justin Wiater brought Cruisin’ Tikis to Nashville in the summer of 2021 after spotting the unique tiki boats while boating in Key West. They knew instantly that they wanted to bring that kind of excitement back home to their favorite watering hole, Old Hickory Lake. Andrea tells us, “We love being able to share our favorite spot with everybody. That’s something that’s special for us and people seem to love it. It’s exciting to see everyone’s reaction.” Luckily for us, Andrea and Justin have turned their love for boating into something that both locals and tourists get to enjoy in Nashville!  

Cruisin’ Tikis Nashville offers a variety of cruises to suit everyone’s idea of fun. It all depends on what you like. The biggest part of their cruising season begins in April and goes on through September. Folks are invited to enjoy lake adventures like party cove excursions, morning mimosas, sunset cruises, and even late-night cruises during the summer months. Cruisin’ Tikis also offers public and private charters. Group sizes can be as few as 2 passengers or as many as 18, making this the perfect paradise for friends, couples, and families looking to beat the summer heat. 

Passengers are encouraged to bring their favorite foods and beverages on board to enjoy while they take in the beautiful scenery and unbeatable energy that Cruisin’ Tikis Nashville provides. They also have local partnerships that are happy to cater food out to the tikis so folks can continue to enjoy cruising while satisfying their cravings. Cruises are equipped with plenty of cooler space and ice to keep your beverages fresh. Visitors can also connect their favorite playlists to the tiki boats’ Bluetooth speakers and set the tone for an unforgettable summer experience. Most importantly, each tiki boat comes complete with a Coast Guard Certified Captain. Andrea and Justin’s top priority is the continued safety of their guests. They explain that they simply want their guests to savor their summer cruises and trust that they are in good hands and a safe space. 

Cruisin’ Tikis Nashville is quickly becoming a coveted hot spot during the summer holidays. On days like the Fourth of July, passengers aboard Cruisin’ Tikis have the best seat in the house. “It’s the perfect chance to get your family out on the lake, see fireworks and hang out,” Andrea explains. This is the perfect spot to celebrate numerous types of occasions. Andrea and Justin have become the experts in summertime celebrations. “We see just about everything out there. We see birthdays. We’ve had people propose for engagements out on the tikis. Bachelor and bachelorette parties, a lot of work events and team happy hours. Even the sunset cruises are really popular for a date night.”  Whatever the celebration, Cruisin’ Tikis has proven to be loved equally by local residents and Nashville tourists. Getting out and spending the day on Old Hickory Lake is an ideal way to break away from the downtown scene and discover a totally different side of Nashville. The Cruisin’ slogan says it best, “Why go bar hopping when you can hop on the bar?” 

Andrea and Justin are now sailing into their third cruising season and they take a lot of pride in making Cruisin’ Tikis Nashville one of the best summer experiences that Nashville has to offer. Mt. Juliet is home to them and they value the opportunity to share Old Hickory Lake with neighbors, friends, and tourists in a unique and memorable way. We can’t wait to climb aboard Cruisin’ Tikis Nashville this summer and take part in this little piece of paradise. 

“We love being able to share our favorite spot with everybody. That’s something that’s special for us and people seem to love it. It’s exciting to see everyone’s reaction.”

September 2023 • Bachelorette Party

Had the absolute best time on the floating tiki for a bachelorette party. Kyle was a great captain! Can’t wait to visit again!

June 2023 • Bachelorette Party

So much fun! Kyle was great

October 2022 • Bachelorette Party

The Floating Tiki Bar was an absolute blast! Our captain/dj/bartender was so fun and cruised us all around the lake. Great for an afternoon activity to get some sun before going out. One of those experiences that you can’t get many other places!

September 2022 • Bachelorette Party

Sooo much fun! Bring a sweater because it’s quite windy. Be ready to play a lot of games and to be a bit typsy. Definitely a fun experience

Elizabeth V.

Floating Tiki Bar Cruise did not disappoint! It was the definitely the highlight of our bachelorette trip!

Had so much fun for my BACH with our captain Jake!! The houses on the lake are gorgeous . He blew up all our tubes for us and kept our drinks on ice! Would definitely recommend for any future BACH parties for sure!!

Floating Tikis was a blast for my group of friends! We were able to play our own music and enjoy the cruise with our own drinks. Then we got into the water and floated and had a great time. The captains are the best and it’s overall an amazing experience!

August 2022 • Bachelorette Party

We had the absolute best time! The views were spectacular, the music was energetic, and the laughs were endless! Our guide, Jesse, was nothing short of amazing! He provided us with the life-long memory of celebrating our bride on the lake! I would highly recommend booking an excursion with this friendly crew!

Stephanie B.

This was a fun experience. We had a little trouble finding where we should be parking and where to load the boat, but we loved that it was a small group and not a big cruise. We were able to play our own music and use their cooler to keep our drinks cold. Got some great photos of the water and behind the wheel of the boat.

July 2022 • Bachelorette Party

Our Tiki Boat Tour was a blast! Not only did we get to play our own special playlist and float around a beautiful lake, but our tour guide was kind enough to take as many group photos as we asked for!

We loved that the captains were so accommodating and had everything prepared for our boat. Everything was as described on the post which was a relief.

June 2022 • Bachelorette Party

We booked the Floating Tiki Bar BYOB Cruise for my sister's bachelorette. It was the perfect way to break up our day and do something that was off Broadway. BEcause we were there in June, it was very hot so being on the water there was a nice breeze which was great. We were also able to watch the sunset while we were on the cruise. Our captain was super personable and it was an overall great time. All of us would definitely recommend it!

Definitely recommend the team at Floating Tiki Bar BYOB Cruises and Party Cover Excursions. They are a must stop on your visit! They accommodate every request and make you feel right at home during your time on the water. Can't thank them enough for a great experience!!

My group loved the tiki bar because our captain took over and we got to enjoy the sun, drinks and music without worrying about anything but what drinks we were bringing. It was also something different to do in Nashville if you need a break from downtown and want to get outdoors.

Our group really enjoyed our Tiki Cruise! We had a fun captain who was knowledgeable and kind. The docking point is about a 40 min drive from downtown Nashville but it was totally worth it! Getting out on the water was a good break for everyone while it being something unique for us to do. Highly recommend!

The Floating Tiki Bar was so fun for our Bride-to-be! Our captain was a great party host and let us be as crazy as we wanted!! We got to provide our own music and drinks and all we had to worry about was having a good time. Highly recommend for bachelorette groups or anyone just looking to be on the water!

Our group really enjoyed the idea of the floating tiki boats, it’s nothing we have by us. It was a fun, out of the box experience!

April 2022 • Bachelorette Party

We had so much fun on the tiki bar! Our bride loved doing something a little different than the normal Nashville activities, and our guide was super fun. It was a little ways from the city, but it was cool getting out of the downtown area. Definitely recommend!

Taylor Swift in Nashville: Storms, surprises and more from her 'Eras' concerts

Nashville won't forget this "Era" any time soon.

Taylor Swift took her final bow on the "Eras" tour in Music City early Monday, capping a three-night run at Nissan Stadium with a rain-soaked show that went on despite extensive storm delays pushing start time past 10 p.m.

From record-breaking crowds to surprise songs, album announcements and one-of-a-kind duets, fans can say "goodbye" to the "Eras" tour by reliving these highlights from Swift's weekend in the city that helped launch her prolific career.

How Taylor Swift closed 'Eras' Tour in Nashville Sunday

Thunderstorms didn't slow down Taylor Swift.

After fans sheltered-in-place for nearly four hours due to severe weather, the perennial pop star hit the stage Sunday at Nissan Stadium for a late-night edition of "Eras." Her third and final show of the weekend in Music City, Swift kicked off her set after 10 p.m., performing past 1 a.m. early Monday.

Her first 'Era': Revisiting the Taylor Swift album that launched her into superstardom

Despite the late start, Swift didn't cut corners on her "Eras" setlist. She rewarded her storm-worn fans with a 45-song show — same as Friday and Saturday night. As the show progressed, Swift played through ongoing rainfall. At one point, she dubbed the gig "officially a rain show" — a moment-making experience for dedicated Swift followers.

"A rain show only chooses a crowd that can handle the rain show, don't you agree, Nashville?" Swift said on stage. "We also never, ever, ever, ever, ever forget rain shows. ... This is something we're all doing together. It's such a bonding experience. We're all gonna leave here tonight looking like we've been put through five car washes."

Fans who waited through the downpour received a surprise late in the show Sunday (or early Monday, by that point): Swift enlisted Aaron Dessner — producer, collaborator and member of indie rock outfit The National — for a duet of "Would've, Could've, Should've," a cut off her expanded "3 a.m." edition of 2022 album "Midnights."

And while Swift faithful experienced the full headlining set Sunday, the storm caused concert organizers to cut opening performances from Phoebe Bridgers and Gracie Abrams.

"There is one element to the stadium tour that you absolutely cannot plan on, and that is the weather," Swift said on stage Sunday night, per fan-shot videos. "The fact that we had chaotic weather and you decided — all of you — to stay here to count on the fact that we were gonna play this show for you no matter what, that means the world to me and everyone on this tour."

Saturday saw records break and a few celebs in the crowd

Night two of "Eras" in Nashville saw a record-setting crowd, surprise callbacks and a few celebrity guests.

Roughly 70,500 concert-goers gathered inside the home of the Tennessee Titans for a dry night of Swift-led singalongs. The concert broke a Nissan Stadium event attendance record, per the venue. The catch? It wasn't a record that lasted long. Swift initially broke the record Friday night before topping it Saturday.

On her "Eras" tour, Swift typically sings two pop-up acoustic or piano-backed songs otherwise not in the setlist. On Saturday, her unannounced additions included "Fearless" era hit "Fifteen" — dedicated to longtime friend  Abigail Anderson Berard, who attended the show — and "1989" track "Out of The Woods."

And sleuthing Swifties spotted a few familiar faces in the crowd Saturday night. Nashville-raised actor Reese Witherspoon, "Law & Order" star Mariska Hargitay and model Gigi Hadid caught the show,  per social media posts from Swift fans .

"What an extraordinary show," Witherspoon posted to Instagram. "The insanely intricate set, the stellar song choices, the inspired chorography, the other-worldly art design ... an incredible night to remember."

Taylor Swift's 'Eras' tour in Nashville kicks off with Speak Now reveal

Swift's weekend of career-spanning shows and one-of-a-kind spectacle began with proverbial sparks flying.

After weeks of  well-placed clues and TikTok-fueled speculation , Swift confirmed Friday — mid-show, no less — which album comes next in her expansive "Taylor's Version" project: "Speak Now."

"I've been planning something for a while," Swift said as the Friday night audience exploded with applause. "It's my love language with you. I plot. I scheme. I plan. And then I get to tell you about it."

As the album title and July 7 release date flashed across the stadium screen, she added: "I think, rather than me speaking about it ... I'd rather just show you."

Swift put a bow on the "Taylor's Version" unveiling with an acoustic rendition of "Sparks Fly," a 2011 single off "Speak Now."

"Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" wasn't the only time Swift surprised her fans on Friday night, either. The singer enlisted Bridgers, an indie-rock favorite, for an acoustic duet of "Nothing New," a song the two released together on 2021's "Red (Taylor's Version)."

"This is a regular day in my life," Bridgers quipped as she stepped up the microphone hours after performing her own set.

Swift replied, "I feel the same, getting to sing this song with you for the very first time in a sold-out stadium."

Swift and Bridgers reprised the collaboration during Saturday and Sunday's performances.
