Tiki Tom's Dog Barge

The post we never wanted to make, especially right after we just went a tiny bit viral and all of you wonderful people started following us! Yesterday our best good 5 year old boy Floki the boat builder (iykyk) - our WHY for this whole business - got diagnosed with Lymphoma. He sees a specialist next week to figure out options. We are still trying to process and just want the best for our boy.
Please give us some grace if we're slow to answer messages or are refusing some bookings. We are trying to make sure we have enough quality time with our boy while running this business and working full time jobs. Thank you all in advance for your patience and understanding ❤️❤️❤️

Wow, 500 followers literally overnight! Thanks everyone! We're happy you found us!

Just wanted to take a second to introduce ourselves. We're Captain Tom and Amy. About 2 years ago we had a wild dream for a side hustle... to build a cool boat that could safely take people and their dogs out to the sandbar to hang out. In Oct 2024 we bought a rundown old pontoon and custom built everything ourselves... and here we are! We've been up and running for less than a year and are excited to be building this little business that we love so much!

We have our own 2 pups that we regularly take out to the sandbar. Anya, our 12.5 year old greyhound/Pit mix and Floki, our 5 year old American Bulldog/Pit mix. If you ever see us out there come over and say hi!

Thanks for coming along on this journey with us, and we hope to cruise with you and your pups one day!

It has apparently become the year of themed boats in Pinellas County. From a floating fruit shop to a taqueria that pulls up to the sandbar, there's no
