My team had a wonderful time on the Tiki Boat. The staff was helpful and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend.
Good to be with friends on a cloudy day. I wish the captain and crew had shared more about the river and their experiences. That we had been warned about a different boat. would have brought wine.
It’s was amazing just not long enough!! Plan on doing it again near future!
Too expensive for a very short trip back and forth the same stretch of river.
Chelsea and Hartwell were fantastic! They brought the vibes and made us feel welcomed. Great time with great people, couldn't recommend more.
We had a great time on the tiki cruise!! Chelsea was great taking care of hosting and making sure the drinks were flowing and the food was covered back up while we enjoyed dancing to the music!! Highly recommend this cruise for your next outing!
Booked the 5:30pm tiki boat for a group of 7, didn't really know what to expect. We ended up having a great time! Boat staff was nice, boat itself was enjoyable, so glad we went !
What a fun and enjoyable cruise on the James River this afternoon! Besides being perfect weather and downtown Richmond being a beautiful part of the river, Thornton and Capt Nick took excellent care of us! Great way to celebrate a 40th birthday!
BOOK THEMMMMM we had so much fun they have a speaker on board that you can connect to so definitely have a designated DJ lol they already had ice and waters in the cooler so they were prepared for us 😊
Amazing experience our captain and Carter were extremely nice and we happened to have amazing weather. Would 110% recommend this expierience. You are also welcome to bring any food and drink you would like. Absolutely loved it.
Amazing! The guides were so cool and they played great music (and played the songs i requested). i had so much fun! 🙂
Nick and Thornton were an INCREDIBLE team!!! It was obvious that they were both invested in providing our group with an AWESOME experience! Sea Suite Cruises RVA is lucky to have Nick and Thornton representing them!
We had a great time in the boat! The crew was fun too! Love to know more about the small boat rentals and their requirements. Bummed I lost my S-pen... probably on the boat or area.
Lots of retro fun on the electrified and well preserved Shirley last week. Nice slow (governor holding speed to 5mph) ride with surprisingly NO river traffic at all during our 90 minute trip. We were annoyed by the steering though, which required constant correction just to maintain a straight course.
I recently celebrated my birthday with a tiki boat cruise on the James River with Sea Suite Cruises RVA and it was an unforgettable experience. The scenic beauty of the river provided a stunning backdrop, making the entire event feel special.My friends and I had an amazing time, and their enjoyment was palpable throughout the cruise. The atmosphere on the boat was lively and relaxed, perfectly suited for a celebration. The staff were exceptionally helpful and attentive, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that all our needs were met.Overall, it was a fantastic way to celebrate, combining beautiful views, great company, and excellent service. I highly recommend this Sea Suite Cruises RVA’s tiki boat cruise to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable way to celebrate a special occasion.
We had a great time! Our Captain and First Mate were awesome. Definitely will do it again!
The crew was very professional and courteous we had a lovely cruise transitting the James river.
Staff was professional, patient, friendly, and overall provided great customer service. The space was clean and had ample storage space for drinks and to keep items cold. Although this was a paddle activity, I was grateful we did not have to since it was so hot outside. Will definitely do this again.
We had an excellent time. The captain and the attendant was really nice. They made sure we had everything we needed. It was a great ride. I recommend it to anyone...
We had a great time celebrating my birthday. The crew made everything so stress free and we had so much fun. We will be booking again!!
It was a great ride, I felt safe and wasn’t worried or concern about anything. The crew was well respectful and very exciting to be sailing with. I would go on this boat ride again and bring more family/ friends.
Five star treatment. The staff was so flexible and felt like family as we cruised. Everyone had such a good time. We will definitely schedule again.
We had so much fun! Sea Suite Cruises was great to work with! We had a mix up with booking and they accommodated our request even though it wasn't showing on their end. Great times. Great company!
Very Fun Experience! Nothing but good vibes! Beautiful Scenery, Great Host, Will be returning!
Very fun boat trip!! We went out the morning before a wedding, it was a great time and amazing way to spend the time together before getting ready. There was music and it was BYOB, great for any type of event!
What a fun company adventure we had on the Tiki Boat cruise! Aiden and Captain Justin were wonderful and everyone loved doing something different and fun! I highly recommend Sea Suite Cruises, and Rachel was so easy to work with and very accommodating to our last minute changes! 5 out of 5 stars for sure!
The booking process was straightforward and the customer service was excellent. The staff was friendly and made sure we were comfortable throughout
First time cruisers!! I was not sure what to expect but my boyfriend and I had such a great time. One thing I think people are unsure of is food/drinks…so it’s BYOB and food. We came with wine , white claws, pre made alcohol beverages and charcuterie . Can’t wait to book again with friends 🙂
We had a wonderful evening cruise. They provided a fun, casual atmosphere, and were extremely helpful in setting up food and ensuring that everyone had beverages available to them. Very friendly, would definitely recommend!They were even kind enough to delay our departure a few minutes so a few people running late could still join. But they made sure we were back on time so the next cruise group would not be delayed.Our group was there for a professional event, but it was such a nice time that multiple people mentioned they were interested in booking another cruise for themselves for birthday parties, graduations, etc in the future.
Boat and crew were awesome but seating at the bar area was very very uncomfortable.
Carter was an excellent guy towards me and my friends we had a great time ! Will definitely book again !
The wife and I had a beautiful time definitely will be back the customer service was awesome the boat was clean the rental time was definitely more then enough time I encourage everyone to give this company a try it’s definitely worth it
We booked the paddle boat for my wife's birthday. Reservations were simple and I was kept up to date on waivers and progress as our date approached. On my wife's birthday we had the perfect start to our day. We and four other couples enjoyed a wonderful cruise up and down the river. The weather was perfect, the boat was more than big enough for all of us and the crew was friendly and helpful. They pointed out some sites they thought might interest us but otherwise just let our group of friends enjoy a rare opportunity to spend time together. Huge thanks to all involved. I highly recommend RVApaddle/SeaSuite cruises, and have already considered when I may book another cruise.
This may be the underrated experience in Richmond. I rented an entire boat for a friends and family outting. It was nice to be able to listen to the music that we wanted to and everyone just vibed for both hours.We knew to bring our own food. We were delightfully surprised that there was a server on the boat (Sorry that I forgot your name. You were amazing)!!!!!!She served us food and drink and we tipped her well.It wound up a tearful event for us for different reasons, BUT I would absolutely recommend this!Hopefully Virginia laws will ease up and they can serve drinks as they do in other cities.
We did the public tiki boat and had a great time! Definitely recommend bringing your own food and drinks to enjoy, which we did and it was great.
We had a wonderful trip. The captain and his mate (deadhead)were absolutely great. No one showed up I guess do to the weather but the crew still gave us a great experience.THEY ROCK!!!!Will be booking with them again
Everyone had a good time and the two employees on the boat were very nice to everyone.
10/10 experience, will definitely rebook again soon! The crew went over and beyond to ensure everyone loved their experience.
Rachel booked our cruise from the dock. Thanks a bunch Rachel. Chelsea was the perfect host on the boat. She made it so much fun. She even convinced us to take the cruise when we go to Washington DC.
This was so much fun! My family and friends really enjoyed our time on the paddle boat! Hope to do this again soon!
Just had a bachelorette party 🎉 it was great! The weather wasn’t that great but we still had lots of fun! The stuff was awesome 👏 We will be back during the summer!
We had a blast at our Tiki Boat Cruise last night! Scheduling the event was super easy and the staff was very helpful making the process a breeze. It was great to sit back & relax with our real estate team. Can't wait for next year!
We had a company event tonight on both of their boats and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience. The crew was amazing and fun - not over the top annoying like some of the cruises - just went with the flow of our group. Highly recommended.
THE BEST!!! had a wonderful time and we will be returning! we brought food & drinks. They provided ice and Bluetooth for our music. The day was perfect!
We booked the whole boat for our women's group and we had the best time! The staff awesome and exhibited a lot of patience dealing with us.. lol. Would absolutely recommend this. We had a blast!
We celebrated Father's Day aboard the Paddle Club RVA with our family. It was fun for all ages and everyone can't stop talking about how much they enjoyed themselves!
I was part of a corporate event today and we had such a great time with paddle club rva! They were super nice, professional and helped us enjoy the day. Highly recommend!
