An absolutely fantastic time! Could not say enough good things about the entire experience, especially how friendly the Captain and crew were!
Went on a little booze cruise for a friend's birthday and loved it! We played our own music on a nice sound system, plenty of comfy seating, drinks were reasonably priced, they even had football on 2 TVs! Will definitely be booking again!
This is the first thing I do when visitors come to visit DC! The perfect way to see the monuments and the city from the water -all with a cold beverage and awesome music! Thanks Whitlows on the water - I’ll be back!
We had a wonderful evening on the Tiki boat. The whole crew was amazing. Very good with giving all the safety regulations and answering any questions. They could not have been nicer. Our whole group had a wonderful time!
Had THE best experience on Whitlows on Water!! We hosted our engagement party on the boat and couldn’t have asked for a more fun and unique setting. The tropical party vibes were 10/10 and the staff was incredible. Will definitely be back for more fun!
What a fantastic experience! Great vibe, good music, and a scenic night view made it even better. I recommend going at sunset, whether for a birthday, celebration, or just a fun night out with friends. Shay, our bartender, was amazing, and the captains were fantastic too. It was totally worth it- something different and I can’t wait to do it again!
10/10 recommend Shay!!! She’s so fun and made the whole trip worth it. Also chase was a great DJ
It was all around great time!! The staff was very fun and our group had a great time! Will def go again!!
Holy cow! EPIC birthday celebration held this past weekend aboard Whitlows on Water. It was the perfect way to spend a fall day boozing and boating! Staff was so accommodating: Chase, Michelle, and Hannah were the best!!!
What a great time on the water! I highly recommend taking a cruise and will definitely do it again soon! ❤️
We had an awesome time on the Whitlow’s on water. The crew was awesome the ride was smooth. Thank you for an awesome day
Ten friends and I had a great time on the boat last night. It’s a great option if you’re looking for something different to do in Navy Yard area. Smooth sailing and the bartender/drinks were great too. Will ride again!
So beautiful and fun! Shea the bartender was so amazing and personable. I will be back!
Enjoy a Scenic Potomac River Cruise
Whether you’re looking to celebrate a special day, host a private event, take a solo adventure, or just get out with family and friends, we’ve got you covered. We have a river cruise for every occasion:
Birthday & Bachelor(ette) Parties
Bachelorette/Bachelor Parties
Get nauti before you tie the knot! Our bachelorette party boats are the perfect size for any wedding party and have a wide range of options to either BYOB or purchase drink packages on board. The backdrop of the monuments from the water creates the perfect picture-worthy moments. You’ll always remember your final sail before the veil!
Birthday Parties
Party buses are cool and all but take your special day to the next level this year with a birthday party river cruise. Blast your own playlist, enjoy drinks with friends and family, and get the perfect picture in front of the monuments for a shameless HBD-to-me post.
Team Building & Corporate Events
Nothing boosts team morale like a little vitamin D and vitamin Sea. Celebrate a milestone, bring a virtual team together, break off from a big conference or convention, or just get to know your team better. Take a corporate team-building cruise and sip, socialize, and sail through the District.
Potomac River Sunset & Night Cruises
Sunset Cruises
Trade in rush hour for golden hour as you watch the sun set upon the monuments. Being on the river as much as we are, we can assure you that watching the sun’s golden glow against the Lincoln Memorial as the sun gradually retires for the night is a view that will simply never get old.
Night Cruises
Seeing the monuments lit up at night while you and your crew light up the night is a truly one-of-a-kind DC nightlife experience. All of our boats are equipped with party lighting so when the sun goes down, the fun heats up! Enjoy the cool summer air and the glow of the city on the water to make any night a midsummer night’s dream.
Navy Yard Sports Sailgates
Get ahead of the gameday traffic rush and take your tailgate to the water for Nationals games, DC United games, and DC Defenders games with cruises out of Navy Yard! Get rowdy and get dropped off right by the stadium for the ultimate fan experience.
DC Sightseeing Boat Tours
Soak in the sunshine and some of DC’s most monumental views on a private boat cruise. During our cruises, passengers will get stunning views of Georgetown, the Kennedy Center, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, the Pentagon, and the United States Capitol!
Cherry Blossom Boat Tours in DC
Blossoms up! We offer river cruises and boat rentals to see the Cherry Blossoms from the Potomac with a drink in hand, avoiding the crowds. Skip the crowds and traffic, enjoy a few of your favorite drinks, and party your way to the petals while your skipper gets you up close and personal with DC’s most iconic trees.
DC 4th of July Cruises & Boat Rentals
Celebrate America’s Birthday with a booze cruise! Enjoy a fireworks cruise on the 4th of July out of Georgetown & The Wharf. First come, first served!
Happy Hour, Brunch & Dinner Cruises
Brunch Cruises on the Potomac
Take brunch to the next level with a boozy boaty brunch! Bring your favorite foods, pop some bottles, and sip on mimosas while you set the tone for your day.
Dinner Cruises in Washington DC
Elevate your evening with a dinner cruise under the stars! Bring along your favorite cuisine, uncork the wine and indulge as you glide through the night, creating unforgettable moments under the moonlit sky.
DC Happy Hour Cruises
On Monday-Thursday each week, happy hour has no time limit on our boats. We offer happy hour pricing during the week so we can guarantee you that these are some of the best happy hour prices in DC. Even further, some of our boats offer the option to BYOB! Don’t get me wrong, we love a good rooftop or waterfront bar, but nothing compares to being on your own private floating bar where you can play your music surrounded only by your friends.
Booze Cruises in Washington DC
These social, nautical adventures are the perfect way for friends, families, and colleagues to sip, sail, and celebrate on the water! Bring your favorite wine, beer, hard seltzer, or canned cocktail on our BYOB party boats* OR purchase refreshing beverages from our on-boat bar on bartended cruises. Most cruises are also BYOF (bring your own food)! We’ve had everything from small snacks to full spreads so pack a homemade meal or bring your favorite takeout. Catered cruises with Whitlow’s on Water are not BYOF, but offer a great selection of delicious treats!
*We do NOT allow bottles of hard liquor on BYOB cruises.
