Potomac River Boat Tour Meets Booze Cruise
Our private paddle boats can host up to 16-20 guests, and each cruise includes the services of a licensed captain and deckhand. The boats are outfitted with built-in cup holders, coolers, USB charging stations, and large Bluetooth-enabled speakers for playing your preferred tunes. We’ve recently upgraded to plush, cushioned bar seats—so now all you have to do is sit back, sip your drink, and soak in the views while the motor does all the work!

What an amazing experience with Sea Suite Cruises! They did an incredible job hosting our birthday celebration and made the entire event feel special from start to finish. The atmosphere was beautiful, the staff was friendly and professional, and everything was handled with great care.

This is a very accessible way to enjoy the Potomac with a fun, knowledgeable crew and staff. Ticket includes a free beverage and is a great deal. We had the best time, made friends, learned new facts about DC, and enjoyed live music on land and playlists on the pontoon. Thank you!

We had such a great experience with Sea Suite Cruises! We went out with a group of close friends, and it was the perfect setting to catch up, relax, have a good time, and enjoy some beautiful views of DC and Virginia from the river.
The staff were excellent! They were kind, helpful, and very attentive throughout the cruise. They also did a great job creating a fun, intimate atmosphere with good music that allowed us to just enjoy being together.
It turned into such a fun and memorable afternoon with friends, and we came away with some great memories. If you’re looking for something different to do in the DC area—whether with friends, for a celebration, or just to enjoy the city from a different perspective—I definitely recommend Sea Suite Cruises. We had a blast and would absolutely do it again!

Oh it was fun, perfect weather, perfect music, perfect captain and crew, and of course perfect amount of passengers.
This is the second cruise I have taken with this company. Both times, they strive hard to please.
Would definitely use these folks again!

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!

We had a wonderful time on the paddle boat and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The boat was well-appointed, and the crew was knowledgeable, friendly, and very attentive throughout our excursion.
Having a restroom on board was an added convenience on the stern. Although the day was clear and quite hot, we remained comfortable thanks to the large awning that shaded the main seating area. There was also a small area at the bow of the boat where you could enjoy the full sun if you preferred.
Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable experience, and we would highly recommend it.

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.

I had an awesome time on my tiki cruise with Sea Suite Cruises! The whole vibe was super chill — great music, friendly crew, and the perfect setup for kicking back on the water. The boat was clean, comfy, and had that fun tropical feel that makes you instantly relax.
The staff really made the experience feel easy and enjoyable, and the views were unbeatable. Whether you’re hanging with friends or just want a fun break on the water, this cruise is definitely worth it. I’d 100% go again!

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!
