The Boating Adventure That Will Show You A Side Of Connecticut You Didn’t Even Know Existed

While touring Connecticut from back roads or city streets is quite an experience, you can take an exhilarating boating adventure that will show you a different side of our small state. Viewing the shoreline from out on the water gives you a glimpse of scenery that you might never have seen before. We aren’t talking about a slow-going paddle along the coast, this boating adventure is full of pep, takes little effort, and you’ll absolutely love it.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/

Rent a tiki kat and drive your own boat to see the coastline sights. These boats are easy to navigate, super safe, and tons of fun.

Climb aboard one of these unique watercraft at Captain John's Tiki Tours and Boat Rentals located at the Harbor Point Marina in Stamford.

These small two passenger boats are like a hybrid between a go kart and an air boat. The watercraft is very safe and virtually impossible to tip over.

Arrive at the dock and get a basic safety lesson and instruction on how to drive the Tiki Kat. Drivers must be at least 21 years old and have a state issued drivers license (no boating license necessary).

Follow the guide boat skimming along the water's surface for a thrilling ride. The Tiki Kats can reach speeds of up to 30 m.p.h.

See the shoreline like never before passing waterfront mansions as well as natural animal habitats.

Check out the local lighthouses up close and view the city skyline from a different perspective.

This is an incredible boating adventure where you can be in the driver's seat.

Captain John's Tiki Tours and Boat Rentals also has a floating tiki bar available to rent. They are full of tropical fun for small parties or groups of friends. Check it out here.
