In collaboration with Sea Suite Cruises, Whitlow’s on Water brings the fun of Whitlow’s to the Potomac River. As the largest vessel in the Potomac Tiki Club fleet, she brings a whole new WOW factor to DC.
Whitlow’s on Wilson in Arlington, VA was one of the most popular bars in the region for decades…
All cruises are staffed by a licensed Master Captain, Deckhand, and a Bartender. The boat is outfitted with seating for 47, surround sound speakers and curated playlists, a bathroom, safety equipment, party lighting, and 2 TV’s for sporting events & watch parties. Perfect for corporate cruises, bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthday parties & more!
Have an idea for a customized private event that you don’t see on our website? No problem! Contact us to let us know what you’re thinking and we’re happy to try and accommodate.
The boat is stocked with a full range of libations including beer, wine, seltzers, and spirits for tropical mixed drinks. For those making lifestyle changes around the way they drink or those who do not drink, we also proudly serve non-alcoholic beverages and zero-proof mocktails. Additionally, we serve soft drinks and Gatorade. For public cruises on evenings and weekends, all passengers (21+) will be offered a complimentary High Noon upon boarding.
Light snacks such as chips are available for purchase on board all cruises. During public cruises and tiki tours, passengers are permitted to bring their own food, but must keep in mind space considerations for shared space with other guests. For private charters, we offer catering through Whitlow’s.
Additional $25/Person: Includes all beer, wine, seltzers, champagne, and mixed drinks (shots, Red Bull, premium liquor, and signature cocktails can be purchased separately)
*Payment for the drink package will be due at the time of your charter (card transactions only, no cash). For corporate teams interested in a full open bar, please contact us at 202-656-3336 or email us at support@seasuitecruises.com for details.
The boat is tailored for groups of 25-47 people, offering an ideal setting for a myriad of private events and complemented by stunning views of the nation’s capital landmarks. Whether it’s a birthday celebration, corporate team-building event, graduation party, bachelor/bachelorette extravaganza, large family gathering, or simply a gathering of cherished friends out on the water, Whitlow’s on Water will leave your guests WOW-ed.
Building on Sea Suite Cruises’ legacy as DC’s favored choice for boat parties of 8-20 passengers for the past 5 years and Whitlow’s legacy as a meeting spot for decades, Whitlow’s on Water emerges in 2024 as the premier destination for unforgettable boat parties on the Potomac.
It’s no secret that DC’s weather can be a little unpredictable. That’s why we designed Whitlow’s on Water to eliminate the guesswork when planning an outdoor event well in advance.
On beautiful sunny days, our open concept with full tiki roof coverage allows you to enjoy the best of the fresh air and river’s breeze without being exposed to the sun’s harsh rays. In less-than-ideal weather, the boat is equipped with retractable Isinglass panels. These panels can be fully or partially closed, providing protection from rain, wind, or colder temperatures, ensuring your group stays comfortable and dry, no matter the conditions. To give you a sense of the fully enclosed experience, imagine an enclosed rooftop bar or a luxury wedding tent—except it’s out on the water.
In the rare event that extreme weather conditions require a change of plans, we’ll collaborate with you and your group to find an alternative space at Whitlow’s DC on U Street or arrange for an alternate date, ensuring you can still enjoy a fantastic outing on the water.
Elevate your next celebration with the perfect blend of a rousing get-together and a relaxing getaway. Secure your spot today and let the currents of euphoria carry you away.
