“Our group was celebrating a birthday and had an amazing time on the water with Jack and Charlie. The crew was fun, professional, accommodating, and treated our group very well. The drinks were delicious and the vibes were great! We will definitely be back. Couldn’t recommend it enough!”

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!
If you haven't cruised with Sea Suite Cruises / Potomac Paddle Club yet, let this be the review that convinces you.
From the very first interaction, the customer service was outstanding. When we needed to update our reservation, the team handled everything smoothly and quickly, with a genuinely helpful attitude. It made the whole experience stress-free before we even stepped on board.
And then we met Captain Matt and First Mate Malcolm — and honestly, they made the trip. Captain Matt ran a flawless cruise with warmth and professionalism, and Malcolm was attentive, friendly, and just a joy to have on board. Together they created an atmosphere that felt both polished and totally relaxed.
The Josephine herself was spotless — and yes, the restroom was clean and well-maintained, which anyone who's been on a boat cruise knows is worth calling out!
This is a gem on the Potomac. Highly recommend for a surprise birthday party, a group outing, or anyone who just wants a beautiful, well-run experience on the water. We will absolutely be back!
Glenn and Cam were amazing to work with throughout the entire planning process. They were incredibly helpful, responsive, and thoughtful, making sure every detail was perfectly arranged behind the scenes. You can tell they genuinely care about creating unforgettable moments.
The boat itself was stunning—elegant, charming, and the perfect setting for a proposal.
We are beyond grateful for this memory that we will cherish forever. If you’re looking for something truly special, I cannot recommend them enough.
