In spite of a major rain storm that occurred during our cruise, the staff was professional and accommodating to all of us on board for the wedding we were celebrating. Thanks guys!

It was a great cruise! We went out for a wedding in the middle of a complete downpour. During the ceremony the captain kept the engine as quiet as possible and cruised gently. He kept us safe and got us back to the dock while we enjoyed a great celebration! One of the most unique, memorable and fun weddings I have ever been involved with!
Good times!!

Wonderful captain and 1st mate. Friendly and accommodating to our group. Sunset was beautiful on the river. The boat could have been a bit more clean, spider webs under the bar area🫣 and dress casual for when I sat down on the bench seats I got wet.

Nice crew, easy sailing, music you want thru Bluetooth connection, cold water, bathroom onboard, and a 1 3/4 hour ride at sunset if you book the 7:30pm cruise. We enjoyed a quiet family glide up and down the river, but it could turn into party boat easily. The crew is fantastic. Book your cruise and you’ll see what I mean. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

We booked a private tiki boat river cruise for a work outing and had an amazing time. The crew was fantastic, and the whole experience was relaxing and fun. Our group thoroughly enjoyed it. I’d highly recommend it for both personal and corporate events!

What a lovely river cruise. Being out of state it was nice to view the city skyline from a different view. The boat was not crowded and we had a very relaxing and interesting time. The staff was knowledgeable and very pleasant. Sit back and enjoy!

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.

My girlfriends and I took a Sea Suite Cruise from Rocketts Landing Sunday afternoon, September 7. It was a thank you to my girlfriends who cooked for me and cared for me after my surgery a couple months ago. The day was cloudy, a little cool and drizzly, but the weather did not dampen our spirits. After we pulled out the rain let up and the experience was the best. Nick, the captain and Kimberly his mate couldn’t have been nicer and made the trip even better. Everyone enjoyed themselves and a good time was had by all. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone wanting to get together with their friends and family.

Girls’ Day was a success! This was our second cruise with Sea Suites and once again they did not disappoint. The staff were so attentive and helpful. We had the best time and look forward to our next cruise.

We had a reservation as my daughter is visiting from Illinois. We showed up and a storm was rolling in, we decided to go ahead and take the boat out. We started out heading up river and a huge lightning bolt struck up river. We turned around a headed straight back to the docks. Their people are so friendly, welcoming and understanding. I was told they would refund me and the next day it was in my account. I would highly recommend as it’s a great boating experience and they are beyond fair.

LOVED IT!!! Captain Hartwell and deckhand Aidan were very professional and wonderful. Timmy, Jazmine and staff prior to trip were informative and on hand to answer any questions. Despite the weather the surprise party was still on and a success. The last 35 minutes we were allowed to stay on boat at the dock since it was raining. I will definitely do it again and recommend for others to experience the Sea Suite Cruise RVA.

2026 update: I celebrated my birthday with Sea Suite Cruises in 2025 and again this year. What a joy! All of my party guests had a fabulous time. This year the weather was sunny the entire time and the ride was smooth. I might just make this a birthday tradition! 🥳🎉
2025: I had an absolutely amazing time for my birthday celebration back in June. The staff were friendly and the ride was smooth despite a short period of heavy rain during the experience. I definitely recommend Sea Suite Cruises RVA for celebrations of any kind! 🎉
