Thank you 🎶🎉❤️ We went on a big surprise birthday party that took months to put together! You just never know what will happen. The crew of Whitlow’s were amazing. Kind & understanding when the birthday boy was late! The crew was fun and smiled the whole trip……. Everyone was so nice! We will recommend them to all our friends!

Had a wonderful time!! Will probably try to do this when I’m up to DC for long weekends. I think Whitlows on the Water is a great spot and is ideal for any occasion whether it be Birthdays, parties hangouts, or just two friends catching up!! Get there early to grab a seat close to the bar and your set 👍🏻 👍🏻

If you’re lookin’ to add a splash of fun to your day in D.C., Whitlow’s on the Water is the place to be.This floating tiki bar is the life of the Potomac! With its lively atmosphere, friendly crew, great music, delicious drinks (those rum punches) and stunning views of the monuments, it’s perfect for any celebration or just a sunny afternoon escape. So grab your sunnies, set sail and get ready for an unforgettable experience on the water.

Had an awesome time at our company party with Whitlow’s on the Water. Karlee, Sousa and Brad made sure we kept things safe and fun, and Connie kept the drinks flowing. Hoping to be back for our next outing, and would definitely recommend for any groups that are looking for awesome service & hospitality, great food and drinks and a more relaxed pregame before a night out. Huge thanks to the staff and management for setting us up!

Celebrated my husband’s 50th birthday on the Whitlows boat. We were 25 people and everyone had a great time. The captain, bartender were super nice and very attentive. We highly recommend your next event with them! It’s lifetime memories we made to cherish forever.

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!

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!
