The 50th birthday party I hosted on the Tiki Cruise was sheer perfection! The boat was comfortable, clean and we really appreciated having a bathroom on board. Josh and Matt were so hospitable and accommodating. Josh even maneuvered the boat to give us a Lincoln Memorial backdrop to our group photo. Potomac River ambiance, music, cocktails, sunset and good friends made it a night to remember. Highly recommend this as a unique DC experience.

I went on a company outing on Whitlow’s on Water and it was amazing! All of the staff, Scott, Jay, and Rich, were very friendly and accommodating, especially with waiting for a few people who were running late. The boat ride was smooth and relaxing, the service was wonderful, and I would highly recommend this for a group get together or company event.

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.

The crew was very professional about security and rules in board and welcomed us very kindly.
It was an amazing experience at sunset and the temperature was perfect for early October.
Thank you to both of you.

Great experience! The bartender, Noel, was amazing! The captain was great. The only thing that could’ve made this better is if there have been a way for individuals to purchase the unlimited drink package individually. We were not aware that if everyone in our group didn’t purchase it we wouldn’t be able to purchase it individually. This can be easily fixed by using wristbands (available at Party City FYI).

We had an exceptional experience!!! The boat was impressive and the crew was both super friendly and engaging. We chartered a private tour for a birthday celebration and were able to bring our own beverages, pizza, and cupcakes. The crew kindly played our custom playlist at a perfect volume, which really enhanced the atmosphere. Cruising along the Potomac at sunset made for a truly memorable outing. We will definitely be booking again!

We had a great time and saw really nice views along the river. The crew were super kind and accommodating; they helped us set up our music and offered to take photos of our group. The team also responded quickly when I emailed them to book the trip. They were also really flexible about changing the number of people - we had a few last minute additions and cancelations, and they were super helpful about changing our tickets. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun group outing or to people visiting DC to see the Potomac!

Oh we had a blast serving up my son in his 44th birthday!! I personally had to stay seated bcuz for some reason I fall all over myself on boat rides but that never stopped the party. My son and friends had a wonderful time!! The two gentlemen that run the boat were absolutely wonderful and amazing!! I pray we’ll all be around to enjoy another ride with them. Thanks for showing us such a pleasant trip!

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.
