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!
