We had a great experience with Potomac Paddle Club! The cruise from Georgetown was perfect for our group of 13 and it was great to see the monuments... from the water during golden hour! We will definitely be doing this again!read more
I had the best experience ever with Matt and Danny! They were so great and so kind!
I would leave them 0 stars if I could. I booked for 8 people on my birthday and needed to add more the day of. They said that it was windy but they... ultimately confirmed that they would still go out for the day. After confirmation, I proceeded to book the extra tickets. An hour before departure they ultimately canceled on me, when my guests had already arrived at the wharf. They refused to refund me even for the delta that I booked the day of. They’ve also not responded to my inquiry about rebooking. This is a seriously shady company with their cancellation policy. Tourists not from the area should stay away — they will take your money and runread more
What a FANTASTIC boat ride!! Highly recommend. We had 13 people and celebrated my mom's 80th birthday! It was a beautiful boat ride up the Potomac... river towards great falls and then we saw the monuments. Nice to have a bar and bathroom on board! Great staff- memorable event! Thank you!read more
We booked a trip through Potomac Paddle club for their third year in a row. Once again, the reservation process was very straightforward. We got the... date and time we needed out of Georgetown. The crew was wonderful. The weather was beautiful and we got some great pictures. We definitely plan to continue our annual trip!read more
It was a lovely evening with Capt. Matt and Ryan taking care of us. Relaxing, informative and overall fun. Totally recommend.
We rented the tiki boat this past weekend to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and it was a blast! The boat was nice and spacious, they allowed us to... play our own music and bring a bunch of food and drinks onboard, and the workers were so friendly. It was definitely a vibe! 10/10 recommend!read more
We had a great time holding a team outing on a Potomac Tiki Cruise! Captain Jack was fantastic and made our experience a great one!
Fun fun fun!! Professional, courteous, clean boat and excellent boat staff (Tim and Dean? - with the tats!). Our group had a great time even though... there wasn't much sun, it was a little chilly - but it was relaxing and for me, a Groom #1 to do again!read more
Our crew had a blast. Captain and deck hand were great. Highly recommend for a great time on the water
Our cruise was amazing. Great and responsive booking process and the crew was wonderful. A great experience all the way around. Cannot wait to do... it again soon.read more
Booked the tiki boat for my fiance's 30th birthday and had a blast! The crew was super fun and despite several days of bad weather, they were still... able to get us out on the water.read more
A great experience! My team at work booked a cruise with Potomac Paddle Club, and everyone had such a great time. Jack was incredibly responsive and... helpful. I highly recommend booking a cruise with them - it was a great way to spend the afternoon on the Potomac.read more
Amazing experience- 10/10 would recommend! There’s really nothing else like this in DC and there’s no better way to get a tour of the city. Fun for... anybody, whether you’re just visiting or live here, it’s a blast for anyone. Our company has done several company outings with the Paddle Club and plan on doing more next season!read more
It was 11 of us and our captain Jack W and deck hand Charlie were very good. We took photos with them, listened to music of our choice and the ride... was smooth. We had a great day out with these guys. I recommend Potomac Paddle Club for a day out with friends or family. Thanks guys for making our day a great successread more
Great experience, the captain and assistant were both very friendly. The tour was nice and scenic and the drinks were nice.
Took one of their cruises last fall and now I have booked another. The employee's are the best, the boats are new, beautiful and fun, the choice of... cruises are awesome!read more
Had a fantastic time on the trip out of Georgetown even though it was a chilly /windy day. They were prepared and even had blankets. Apparently the... public cruises were just added prior to our booking. This allowed us to have a small birthday celebration with another couple without having to book the whole boat. There were others on the trip, but it didn't feel too crowded for a Friday evening. Good views of the monuments, and it was nice that you didn't have to peddle if you didn't want to. Our captain and "boat-tender" were friendly as well. I'll be back!read more
Had the best time! Chase and Charlie were awesome captains, would recommend to anyone that is looking to have some fun in DC! Can’t wait to come back... again!read more
I booked the boat for my bday and the weather was trash but we had a great time on the boat. The staff was awesome, the boat has everything you could... need. It is great because they charge per person (8 person minimum) and we all know that people flake out and other people want to add, so you didn't need to know the exact number until you showed up. The flexibility was an added bonus. Will definitely be booking again for a nicer weekend. (I'd love if there was a 3 or 4 hour option, 2 never seems like enough!)read more
This was such an amazing experience! Jack and his colleague were super nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend this to anyone whether it's for... partying or just for a chill boat ride with awesome views. Will one hundred percent do this again. Thank you!read more
A great experience beat the harbor. I’m so glad this event was a success. Can’t wait to go again.
My group all had a a great time! We would totally do it again!Shout out to Captain Jack and Charlie for being great hosts!
Our group had a wonderful experience! The captain’s were so friendly and fun! Great music and view. The water view was amazing, we even saw the... monument. Thank you so much and will definitely come back again.read more
THE VIEWS😍 This cruise was absolutely amazing! We started out at The Yards marina and circled around the area, taking a pit stop at another... marina to take a bathroom break/grab food. Definitely would book againread more
Immaculate vibes. Incredible Captain (Matt West). Indubitably an experience we will repeat.
The takito is the best boat in experience ever. You play your own music and enjoy your group with a super cool professional captain . You will not... be disappointed. We did a college girls 6 person cocktail and brought our own dinner. 6:00-7:45 and it was gorgeous and scenic. pleasantly surprised. Matts the best!!read more
Fantastic driver, went out of his way to make it a great time. Thank ya Matt!
Great service and hospitality from Timmy and our Captain! Highly recommend.
Matt and Ryan know every inch of the river. Pleasant boat ride and amazing folks. Must do at least once!!
We rented out the Tikito Boat from the Navy Yard for the 6 of us and had so much fun. We were given the choice of what we wanted to see during our 2... hour ride, we chose to go by Reagan and watch the planes landing/taking off. We brought our own drinks/snacks and were able to connect to the Bluetooth speaker on board. Would definitely recommend this experience and to ask for Captain Matt!read more
Captain Jack and Charlie were awesome. We had terrible weather but they made our trip really enjoyable They provided excellent service and... hospitality. We highly recommend this fun experience.read more
Had a great time on the Potomac River cruising a long with this boat tour and my new team at AMC Institute. Thanks for hosting us and keeping us all... safe and for the extra bonus stop. It was a great time had by all! Highly recommend using this tour group!read more
The perfect activity for a parents weekend! Our captain and his daughter were so kind and helpful - I absolutely recommend this tiki boat. My parents... from Texas were SO impressed. Fun to do during cherry blossom season, too!read more
Have been on these cruises twice - once for a friend’s birthday, and once for a work event. Both times, the experience is unforgettable and the... service is spectacular!read more
We were a group of 13 women in Baltimore for a long weekend and wanted a fun way to see some of the Harbor area. The Paddle Tour was so much fun and... a perfect adventure! Our captains Tobi and Dillon were amazing and let us have so much fun, pretty sure the Harbor area was not expecting such a fun crew at 11 in the morning! Perfect way to see the Harbor!read more
ben and matt were amazing and made our girls trip boat ride so much fun!!! would 10/11 recommend🤗, and make sure you ask for Ben & Matt.
Went for a company event it was super nice. Scenic, pleasant, great service. Highly recommend
My partner and I hosted a retreat this past weekend in DC, and took a leap of faith booking a tiki cruise for our attendees based on Google reviews.... Boy, are we glad we did! It was the highlight of the entire weekend, and the staff on the boat was phenomenal. Our captain was Steve, and he was the perfect mix of fun, informative, and kept us feeling safe and relaxed.The Customer service of both SeaSuite cruises and the onboard staff exceeded our expectations.Our cruise had a Bluetooth speaker that connected to smart phones – if you’re going on one of these cruises, I highly recommend having a playlist ready to go!read more
Glen and Matt was services were impeccable, above and beyond what was expected. Hospitality was 5 star. Very kind and welcoming. Will definitely come... back to themread more
Very cute experience! The guys driving the boat we’re very chill and let us do kinda whatever we wanted. So nice to ride a boat especially since they... took us all around.read more
I celebrated my birthday on the tiki boat cruise with all of my friends and we had the best time! We had so much fun, that we are already planning... another friend’s birthday party on the boat! Charlie and Luke both contributed to making the experience amazing!read more
We celebrated a birthday with 13 people and it was an absolute blast! The Tiki boat is the perfect size, and our crew (Captain Steve & co-captain... Chris) was super friendly!! Highly recommend to all 🙂read more
We had such a blast during our tiki cruise. Gorgeous sunset, beautiful views of the monuments at night and an amazing crew. Captain Jack and Glen... made sure we had a great time on the water. The perfect way to celebrate summer, I highly recommend!read more
We had such an amazing time on the boat! Charlie and Bryce were attentive, professional, but also relaxed and encouraged us to have fun. We would... definitely do it again!read more
We did an 8:30pm Potomac Tiki Club cruise tonight on the Potomac River. The night was beautiful and the cruise was smooth. I definitely recommend... scheduling this especially with the upcoming fall foliage. Gorgeous and so much fun for families and friends.read more
We had the best time on our retro boat!! Nick took such great care of us and was so helpful answering all of our questions so we could ensure we... would be safe but still have an awesome time! We will absolutely be back.read more
This was an amazing experience! Very professional and efficient. Nick super helpful and gave good instructions on operating the vehicle. I would... definitely come back again!read more
It’s not worth the price. I expected something really nice, chic and quality. The boat is cute but not well taken care of. It’s not clean, doesn’t... feel nice to be inside. There is a lot of wear and tear. Upholstery is old, dirty. For the price they are taking, they should be paying more attention to the level of service they provide. We waited a lot and started our tour 15 minutes late. It was absurd how they welcomed us. They could have put some water bottles or chips. This is electric engine, there is literally zero cost to maintain it, there is no gas to pay for. They just need to spend money to keep the boat nice and clean. They even couldn’t do that. I booked it for my husband’s birthday and it was a disappointment. It was a cheap experience. We wouldn’t rent it again. I am not even mentioning how slow it was going. We were lucky that there wasn’t any wind otherwise I don’t know how we would be able to control the boat.read more
We had a great time with our retro boat Bonnie. Nick was there waiting for us and showed us everything we needed to know and was very friendly. It... was a lovely way to spend an afternoon on the water.read more
My cousin and I had a great experience. The booking process is smooth and customer service is excellent. The boat is cute and easy to steer.
It was a great experience! Kenneth was awesome as our tour guide help before we got started. My first time on the boat and I would recommend you see... kenneth if it’s your first time on the boat for a great experience. He was helpful and recommended me and my family other options after we finished our tour.read more
Rented this little dingy for a nice birthday celebration for my wife. The patron was helpful in guiding us to the location along with his pre use... information.The boat itself was nice. I think it needs a little bit more power to be able to enjoy the full scenic boundaries... With stopping to eat our lunch, we did not have enough remaining time to visit further along the river so that was cut short because we had to return to the docks in the allotted time...Overall the experience was lovely, I would definitely rent again and recommend to others...read more
Fantastic customer experience, very knowledgeable and very helpful. Can’t wait to rebook!
Super cute date night experience. Locals seeking something new to do in DC and Graham was awesome! Definitely check this out for a good time on the... water🙂read more
Good experience. Wish they served more than bbq chips to eat. The music sucked. Def couldnt party the way I wanted to, which was a buzz kill. Other... than that it was ok. Doubt id return again thoughread more
What a wonderfully relaxing way to see the city from another angle! Our hosts were very informative and answered all my questions. I booked this... because 2 out-of-town friends were visiting, but I'm seriously considering making this a weekly habit since I live here. Thank you for making this an accessible and inexpensive way to relax on the water - highly recommend!read more
My friend had his birthday party on the tiki boat this past weekend and it was an absolute blast. The boat staff and bartender, Shay, were wonderful... and provided excellent customer service throughout the ride. One of the cool things about the tiki boat is that it features decor from the old whitlows tiki rooftop, which was a nice touch. 10/10 experience and will hopefully have the opportunity to go again!read more
Can’t recommend this laid-back Potomac River cruise enough! We are DMV residents and only booked it because we had family in from out-of-town. But... after our great experience it’s on our list to do again with other locals just for fun. Our Captains and First Officer/Bartender were fabulous and helped make the whole experience special. One of the best things to do on a beautiful day in DC.read more
The cruise was stunning at 7:15, and by the time we docked at 8:50, the moon was high, and the breeze felt amazing.I would rate Whitlows on the... Water a 2 out of 10. The bartender behaved rudely and ignorant. She seemed more interested in being on her phone than doing her job. In fact, she may need a hearing aid, as she rarely hears when spoken to. Service is so essential at these types of events.Do yourself a favor and take your money elsewhere.read more
My friends had a great time overall. the entire crew was amazing except the bartender, Shay. I would give this a 5 star review but Shay ruined that.... She was rude to my entire party before the boat even left the dock. We all got a feeling that she was tired after bartending all day, which is understandable, but there was no reason to be unpleasant the entire night. She also stated halfway through the ride that “I’m sick of you people.” That was insane because it was mostly minorities in attendance. I would like to come back but, management should seriously consider getting this woman far away from their business. Other than that, Lorenzo and the two captains were AMAZING!read more
The experience on the tiki boat was nice and relaxing! The bartender and captain were nice and had conversations with us which livened up the ride.... The only reason why I’m deducting a star is because of the parking. Parking was confusing and one of the Latino employees working there was rude. He seemed like he didn’t understand English very well so it was hard to understand what he was saying and got frustrated because he’s instructions were not clear and stormed off. I’m not sure if he’s apart of Whitlow on Water or if the parking is handled by a different company, but the parking area needs to be clearly labeled so people know where to park.read more
My birthday celebration was EVERYTHING! Whitlow's on the Water (Tiki Boat) is a must try...I highly recommend.
Great boat ride and reasonable priced drinks.You do receive a complimentary “High Moon” beverage when you first get on the boat.Early arrival... suggested!read more
Such a fun experience! The entire crew was a blast, and made the experience so fun. I would recommend to anyone who wants to get on the water this... summer!read more
I had a wonderful time out on the boat. I was talking to the bartender she was very knowledgeable and friendly. The captain and the deck hand very... sweet also. I will definitely be back for another cruise on the waterread more
We had such a fun time on the Whitlows sunset cruise! There was great customer service from the staff there - Karlee, Hannah, and Shae were all so... fun and helpful! Highly recommend!!read more
Highly recommend the happy hour cruise at sunset! Idyllic views of the monuments, and convenient docking in Georgetown. Great customer service from... Karlee, Hanna, and Shea. Everyone should book a ride with Whitlow's on Water!read more
Best drinks, best service, and great people! Definitely will be back. 10/10 best experience this is #1 new summer activity to do in DC.
We celebrated a joint 30th birthday last weekend on the Whitlow’s Tiki Boat and had an absolute blast! Captain Luke kept us safe and the crew kept... the drinks and the fun flowing. While it was a bit chilly outside, the clear roll down windows kept us all warm and having a great time on a breezy day. We had about 35 guests on board, but there still would have been a good amount of space if we had the max of 48. If you are on the fence about booking, I 100% recommend doing a private charter on this boat and including the open bar package as well!read more
Having been on multiple paddle club boats I didn’t think the experience could get any better, but no surprises that they’ve outdone themselves again... with the Whitlows boat! I had such a fun time on this massive new boat and will definitely be back! Captains Jack & Jack & Luke are THE BEST in the biz, highly recommend booking this for your next event!read more
Best boat with the best crew ever, can’t recommend this experience high enough! Would give more than 5 stars if possible. Such a fun & unique event... idea. The crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe and had a great time. The drinks served onboard were an added bonus. Bathroom on board was very convenient. They even let us rock out in wigs the entire time. Thank you for making our event so special & fun!!read more
