The boat was nice and the captain and assistant were nice, but the overall cruise was kind of boring. There is no information shared by the crew and you travel past a lot of trees. There is one nice view of downtown, but otherwise there isn’t much to see so if you don’t entertain yourself there isn’t much to the ride.

Recommend booking with Sea Suite Cruises! Had a great time with Captain Chris & his deckhand Malcolm. Very chill and willing to answer questions regarding any landmarks/buildings. Love the bar seating and table has a built-in cooler to store drinks. Had an awesome ~2 hour ride!

Looking for a place where you can drive your own boat WITHOUT a boating license?! Sea Suite Cruises let's you operate a boat by yourself and it's SO much fun.
Some of our team went out for the best boat ride on the Potomac. We checked in right at Market Pier at the Wharf, were given instructions on how to navigate the boat, and sent out for a leisurely, private cruise on the water between DC and Arlington.
We were able to reserve Gladys for our outing, which is an adorable little red, retro boat that comfortably seats 4 adults. It's a BYOB/BYOF - so we packed some snacks and a bottle of wine, which the other adults were able to enjoy (those not operating the boat). We packed a little bluetooth speaker and truly had the best time.
They had other boat style available to rent too, which can seat anywhere from 4 to 10 people. They do take walk-ins, but you'll definitely want to book in advance to make sure you can secure a boat for your whole party. The booking process was super easy through their website!
Nick, who got us situated, gave us the full run down, answered all of our questions, and made sure we felt confident and comfortable to to head out on our own and steer/drive the boat ourselves! He walked through everything in a terminology that was easy for the general person to understand, so if you don't have much boating knowledge - no worries. This specific boat only went 4 mph max, which was perfect and not scary. They also have a video tutorial online which you can watch a head of time to ease any nerves if you're feeling unsure! He also gave us his phone number just incase we ran into any issues - which was a nice added reassurance!
The founders Jack Maher and Jack Walten, both born and raised in Arlington, VA (woohoo!), were awesome and helped us get situated ahead of time. This was truly a 10/10 experience and we HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a fun group outing or private summer date night ideas in DC! We haven't seen anything else like it in this area!

Great experience on the tiki boat for my husband’s 35th birthday! We had a crew of 18 friends and there is definitely ample space on the boat for a group our size. Our captains Luke & Glen were awesome.
You can bring unlimited snacks and food on the boat. We also brought champagne and wine on with us, but they have a fully stocked bar on board that you can pay individually for (or choose the unlimited bar package).
It was a HOT day out but the breeze on the water kept us cool and the shade from the tiki boat. We connected to the Bluetooth speaker which is a nice one and loud and had a dance party!
Also the company was very accommodating, we originally were 15 people but then added 3 more the day of the boat so I was pleased they accommodated us for that.
The company emailed me prior to day of the boat and provided clear instructions and also were responsive when I had questions.
Overall this was a great time and I’m really impressed with the staff and company. Recommend if you wanna have a fun river celebration day with your friends! Thank you!

⚠️ DO NOT book with Bad Boys Tours DMV. This was hands down the worst tour experience I’ve ever had and a complete waste of money.
The experience started late, did not match what was advertised, and the captain’s behavior became so hostile that I genuinely felt unsafe. I was threatened during the tour, and after it ended I called the police because I feared for my safety.
I have photos and videos documenting what I experienced and have requested a full refund. If you’re considering booking with Bad Boys Tours DMV, I strongly encourage you to think twice and do your research first.

The crew was very accommodating. Kimberly was very nice. The captain help us get our things on the boat and it was a very rainy day. We were soaked, but they were very calm and had a very positive attitude the whole time.

What a fantastic way to spend 90 minutes! We had a group of 10 and took one of the smaller boats captained by Jack and Josh. We left from the Navy Yard and cruised to the Wharf. It was a gorgeous day and we had a ball. Jack and Josh were awesome. I live in DC and I will absolutely do this again and I will be requesting Jack and Josh.

This was such a cool experience and honestly one of the most unique date ideas we’ve done. My girlfriend and I rented one of the retro boats for two hours to celebrate one year since we first met, and it ended up being the perfect way to spend the day.
Being able to cruise around by ourselves, take in the views, and just enjoy each other’s company while watching the World Cup was awesome! The boat was easy to operate, well maintained, and had a ton of character.
The staff made everything simple from the beginning and made sure we felt comfortable before heading out.
If you’re looking for something different to do with a significant other, I highly recommend this. It was relaxing, fun, and created a memory we’ll both remember for a long time. We’d absolutely do it again.

Team trip, there were 8 of us and we had a wonderful time. The icebox in the center of the table was a great surprise, too - kept our drinks cold! And even on a hot day, the shade from the roof was just enough. Great experience.

We had an incredible time celebrating my friend for his bachelor party. Captain Matt and Emma have an incredible vibe. Capt. Matt is a true DMV native and is a wealth of knowledge of the landmarks along the waterfront and beyond. Emma keeps the everyone safe and the party going. Book with them if you can!

Our company recently booked a Potomac Tiki Club cruise for a corporate team event, and it exceeded every expectation.
From the moment we stepped aboard, Tessa and Rich made us feel welcome and immediately became part of the experience. They were the perfect combination of professional, personable, and fun. Not only were they outstanding sailors who made everyone feel safe and comfortable on the water, but they were also fantastic bartenders and hosts who kept the atmosphere relaxed, engaging, and enjoyable throughout the entire cruise.
What truly stood out was their customer service. Tessa and Rich went above and beyond to ensure every member of our group had a great time. They were attentive, friendly, and genuinely invested in creating a memorable experience for our team. It felt less like we had hired a crew and more like we were spending the afternoon with friends who happened to be experts at what they do.
The boat itself was also in excellent condition—clean, well-maintained, comfortable, and exactly what we hoped for when planning a unique team outing on the Potomac.
The experience was such a success that our team has officially voted to make the Potomac Tiki Club cruise an annual company event for years to come. That's probably the highest compliment we can give.
If you're looking for a team-building event, corporate outing, celebration, or just a fun day on the water, I cannot recommend Potomac Tiki Club highly enough. Thank you, Tessa and Rich, for helping create an unforgettable experience for our team. We can't wait to sail with you again next year!

Our group 14 had such a good time on the boat with Malcolm and Captain Luke! It was the perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Our cruise was BYOB and snacks, so we got to enjoy ourselves while seeing DC from the water, which was a first for us. Would highly recommend, and hope to do it again next year.

If you haven't cruised with Sea Suite Cruises / Potomac Paddle Club yet, let this be the review that convinces you.
From the very first interaction, the customer service was outstanding. When we needed to update our reservation, the team handled everything smoothly and quickly, with a genuinely helpful attitude. It made the whole experience stress-free before we even stepped on board.
And then we met Captain Matt and First Mate Malcolm — and honestly, they made the trip. Captain Matt ran a flawless cruise with warmth and professionalism, and Malcolm was attentive, friendly, and just a joy to have on board. Together they created an atmosphere that felt both polished and totally relaxed.
The Josephine herself was spotless — and yes, the restroom was clean and well-maintained, which anyone who's been on a boat cruise knows is worth calling out!
This is a gem on the Potomac. Highly recommend for a surprise birthday party, a group outing, or anyone who just wants a beautiful, well-run experience on the water. We will absolutely be back!

It's our second time renting the Tiki Bar and touring the Potomac. Captain and his assitant are very attentive, we brought lunch which was fun to eat while cruising, and the drink selection was great.
