Our footprint tells a very different story...

Cruisin’ Tikis operates across more than 18 states, spanning traditional coastal destinations as well as lakes, rivers, bays, and harbors in markets such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Arizona. The concept isn’t dependent on palm trees or year-round warm weather. What matters is having the right combination of recreational waterways, tourism and local demand, marina infrastructure, and a community where people are looking for memorable ways to connect, celebrate, and experience their market. In fact, seasonal markets can be an important part of the Cruisin’ Tikis model, allowing Franchise Owners to concentrate operations around periods of peak demand. So, if you’re thinking, “I love this concept, but would it work in my market?” don’t count your community out. Cruisin’ Tikis has already demonstrated its ability to operate across diverse climates, waterways, and markets throughout the country. The next step is determining whether your market has the right ingredients for Cruisin’ Tikis.

"For me and my wife, it was extremely comforting that as we were evaluating the business we weren’t just joining a franchise, we were joining a close-knit community." -

"The thing about Cruisin’ Tikis we enjoy most is the relationships we build with our customers, helping them have the greatest time possible by providing a one-of-a-kind experience."
"We didn’t build TourScale to just offer a portfolio of tours—we built it to create core memories, foster community, and support entrepreneurs. From pedaling through a downtown district to cruisin' a waterfront at sunset, our experiences are designed to bring people together in ways that matter. Owning a Cruisin' Tiki Powered by TourScale business isn’t just fun, it’s purposeful and profitable—and backed by real assets, real systems, and a real team rooting for your success."
