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!

We had such an amazing time on our sunset cruise last night! Everyone visiting DC should do it if we can, I have lived here 15 years and wish I had done it sooner!

We had such a good time on the tiki boat! I took my visiting parents and in-laws on a private sunset tiki tour and it was a perfect way to see DC and entertain everyone. A special shout out to Captain Hannah and Luke for entertaining everyone and letting my dad talk your ear off! I will absolutely do this again; truly a perfect evening.
Capt Jack and his assistant were very chill a d it was the perfect evening cruise filled with music and laughter and monument views. Highly recommended.

We had the most epic time!!! It was so easy to book, instructions were clear, and it was the perfect way to celebrate my mom’s birthday. Jack was a fantastic captain and helped make it a memorable evening. Also, convenient that we could bring our own drinks, snacks and they had a cooler set up with ice. Great blue tooth speaker on board. Just have your playlist ready. Stop looking at reviews and just book it - you won’t regret it! We can’t wait to do it again.

Sam and Tessa were a great team running the boat, we had a wonderful trip and enjoyed the scenery, conversation, and beverages. The boat was big enough for our party of 11, and would have still been comfortable with 1-2 more but 18 might be tight. I would have preferred if the cruise had spent more time down river towards the DC monuments instead of up river with less to see but we still had a great trip on a beautiful sunny Saturday.

Potomac Tiki Club took great care of our party! An afternoon boat ride, our 'captain,' Rich was knowledgeable, fun, and entertaining. All the amenities we needed were provided and we felt taken care of. Would definitely do it again!

We had such a great trip! The crew was knowledgeable and safe. The pace was slow and relaxing. Choosing our own music was a plus!
Charlie and rich were awesome! Made my trip to DC super memorable and incredible. They accommodated our group perfectly and helped us create lasting memories.

Don’t believe their warnings about showing up on time: they float in whenever, no need to leave dinner early like we did since we just stood there waiting/wondering why we abandoned our food to stand around.

Booking experience also less than ideal, texts from company just tell you to read the website and don’t answer questions you might have before deciding. The trip was fine but I wouldn’t recommend to anyone hoping for full customer service.

We went with another family on a cruise and everyone absolutely loved the entire experience. It's a great way to be able to comfortably socialize with one another while also taking in views of Georgetown and some of the monuments. The staff was welcoming, engaging and kept the boat spotless. I am recommending this to anyone visiting the DC area!!!

Great experience, the crew was fantastic, we hosted an event and wonderful hospitality, and great tour guides. And wonderful guys!!!
What an incredibly fun experience! Tiki is automatically a great vibe - crew made it better, easy to talk to and really flexible. Spacious enough with ample seating for our entire party (13). Appreciate being able to bring for your own food/snacks. Drink selection is simple but great options - all cans for beer, seltzers and mixed drinks. We did all inclusive and it was worth it.
It isn’t a matter of if, but when, we do it again!
