Sightseeing in Washington DC is always a good time, whether you’re a tourist or a local. One of the most iconic landmarks in the city is the Washington Monument, which towers over the entire skyline. A Washington Monument sightseeing tour is a must – but you don’t have to join a crowd or spend the day walking. Turn to Sea the City’s Washington Monument hot tub boat cruise instead, and spend the whole time soaking in a hot tub!
Our DC hot tub boat cruise lets you unwind as you sightsee and take in the history of the nation’s capital. Perfect for a fun group outing or a romantic escape, you can book the only hot tub boat in DC for yourself and your friends.

Customize your experience – bring your favorite playlist and connect to our Bluetooth speakers, then enjoy an ice-cold beer or champagne as the hot tub’s jets soothe your back.

- The Jefferson Memorial: A reminder of Thomas Jefferson, the third president and primary writer of the Declaration of Independence.
- The Lincoln Memorial: This neoclassical memorial to Abraham Lincoln is one of the most famous landmarks in DC – and you’ll view it while soaking in a hot tub.
- The Kennedy Center: The nation’s premier performing arts center, glowing along the Potomac shoreline.
- And much more: Arlington Memorial Bridge, The Wharf, the Potomac River, and other noteworthy landmarks along the route.
Meet the Crew
Every captain we employ is a United States Coast Guard-licensed Master Captain aboard our 40-foot, Coast Guard-certified vessel, so you know you’re in expert hands. Attentive deckhands are on board throughout your cruise – pouring drinks, taking group photos, and tidying up empties – all while giving your group its privacy.
Our captain is also a master storyteller. Ask them to bring DC’s history to life and they’ll regale you with tales of the nation’s founding, or simply cue up your playlist and let you soak in peace. Either way, you just sit back and enjoy the ride.
