DC New Years Eve Hot Tub Boat Cruise Details 

Everyone wants to party on New Year’s Eve, but most people won’t get to do so on a hot tub boat tour. You and up to 19 guests can BYOB (beer, wine, champagne, and hard seltzer only, please), listen to some tunes, and ring in New Year’s Eve on a boat party. In fact, our New Year’s Eve cruise is the most exclusive party in town. All your guests will be wowed as they soak comfortably in the hot tub, regardless of the outside temperature. 

Our New Year’s Eve boat tour features two hot tubs. Each tub is suitable for up to 10 people. Therefore, you can either arrive with 20 people for a private cruise or 10 people to have one hot tub to yourselves. Either way, none of your guests will ever be able to forget their magical night spent relaxing in a hot tub as DC celebrates the arrival of a New Year.   

HERE'S WHAT OUR GUESTS HAVE TO SAY

Spectacular Anniversary Night

I was going to make a restaurant reservation, but decided to go with the hot tub boat for our second anniversary. I’m so glad I did. My wife loved it. Sipping champagne and listening to music at night with all the sights around us. The crew was super attentive and helpful. They elevated our special night to spectacular. 10/10!

The name sounds so cool. The experience was EVEN COOLER!

The name sounds so cool. The experience was EVEN COOLER! Having our own hot tub for our group of 7 people with our own music and a fabulous crew with jokes and offering to continually pour our beverages for us simply made this experience 11/10 — highly recommend!!

– Jamie Brennan
One of the most fun experiences I’ve had since moving to DC!

This is one of the most fun experiences I’ve had since moving to DC! Vibes - loved having our own tub and being able to connect our own music, weather in April was perfect, so fun to hang in a hot tub while cruising down the river Views - we did the 7pm sunset cruise and it was GORG, loved getting both daylight and nighttime views of the city Crew - so helpful, they took plenty of pics for us, helped us load and unload all of our drinks from the cooler, cleaned up empty cans throughout the ride, and super friendly! Management - very easy to book the ride, a lot of communication via text from management after booking to easily adjust number of people in the tub, quick responses Boat - very clean, has a bathroom, plenty of life jackets, storage bins to keep your belongings secured/dry, they provide really cute drink containers 10/10 experience and recommend that everyone try this!

Literally the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!

Literally the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!! Zoey and Captain Josh made our evening an unforgettable night. I’m not sure how I stumbled upon such a beautiful Gem. I told Zoey she lives up to her reviews. Thank you Zoey and Josh for immaculate service! We didn’t have to lift a finger, both were attentive to our needs.The water was amazingly HOT, BYOB, and the VIEWS were nothing short of AMAZING!!!! Forever a core memory and I can’t wait to do this AGAIN and AGAIN!!!! Thank you Sea The City!!

– Ahnyinah Davis
10/10 to anyone that enjoys a hot tub with a view!

What an incredible experience! Would recommend 10/10 to anyone that enjoys a hot tub with a view! We basically had our own private viewing party of the Statue of Liberty!

– Sean Hughes
Such a fun experience!

Such a fun experience! The crew was so friendly and attentive to our requests. I highly recommend for groups traveling to the city. It was a cold, slightly rainy day for us but it didn’t matter that much with the hot tub. The photo spots on this tour are incredible!

– Julie Bunker
What an incredible experience!

What an incredible experience! Located down at the wharf, we had dinner beforehand, and the boat was immaculately clean. The views of Washington DC, the Monument, and the Memorial Bridge were breathtaking as the boat leisurely cruised along. The crew was exceptionally welcoming and accommodating, ensuring we had drinks and anything else we needed, and we even got to play our own music. The only downside was the reusable cups they provided, but bringing your own glass cups could solve that issue. With amenities like a changing room and bathroom, along with hot tubs, we had an amazing time with friends, great vibes, and drinks. I highly recommend trying out this unforgettable experience!

– Pat S
I had so much fun for my birthday

I had so much fun for my birthday. Although we went in November when it’s cold outside, the hot tub was the perfect temperature and it was consistently warm so I could hardly tell that it was cold. The team surprised me with a birthday sign and were very accommodating and welcoming. They allowed us to play our music and brought our drinks out when we were ready. The entire boat was SPOT clean and I enjoyed seeing all the cool sights and sky lines in the city that I never took the time to explore. I would definitely do this again. The relaxation was well needed

– Ruslyn Gray
Highly Recommended!

The hot tub boat ride was really fun! They have it down to a science and the process is smooth and easy. There was another party in the other hot tub and we barely noticed them. Highly recommend

– Miriam Popper

One of Our Coolest Experience!

By far one of the coolest experiences ever! Made extra amazing by the wonderful and attentive staff that truly went above and beyond. Zoe, Kelsey and Captain made my best friend’s bachelorette a truly memorable experience. Can’t recommend this tour enough!

– Fey Mejias
It Was So Fun!

“I’ve sailed with Sea the City on their Hot Tub boats twice now (both on private tours with both tubs reserved, up to 20 people total), and the staff has been kind, understanding, fun, and easy. The first time was in Spring 2021, and the second time was recently in Spring 2023. They are thorough when it comes to a brief and safety rundown at the beginning of the tour, and for the rest of the evening, are completely on top of service when it comes to making sure the coolers are full of drinks, picking up empties, taking group pictures, etc. On this most recent reservation, I had indicated that my group was celebrating a special event, which was the Eurovision Final happening the following day. The staff actually put “Eurovision 2023” on a rainbow light board and took our picture with it. It was so fun and everyone was so surprise in the best way possible.

– Reagan Lear
Definitely Worth Every Dollar!

The Sea the City Hot Tub Boat tour was amazing. We had Captain Bryant, Sophie, and Zoey as our crew and their hospitality was incredible. We loved the overall experience and views of the city, if you are looking for a unique experience in NYC, this is definitely worth every dollar!

– Sondra Marie
We Will Definitely Be Back!

The entire experience was absolutely amazing! I surprised my husband with this Hot Tub Boat tour for his 40th birthday and it was above & beyond my expectations. The crew was very friendly, accommodating & knowledgeable; they each made the experience that much better! The views (need I say more) and just so gorgeous and being on the open water in a Hot Tub in the middle of winter is simply heaven! My husband’s 40th birthday surprise was an experience that we will be talking about for the next 40+ years! If you’re looking for something special & different to do then book the Hot Tub Boat tour, you will NOT regret it!!! We will definitely be back!

The Hot Tub Boat Experience

Spending time inside our hot tubs aboard the New Year’s Eve boat cruise is not only memorable, but it’s also a fantastic way to get rid of all the accumulated stress from the entire year. While you and your guests enjoy the soaking experience, you’ll also gain many benefits, including: 

  • Reduced stress and anxiety 
  • Increased range of motion 
  • Reduced blood pressure 
  • Improved circulation
  • Reduced inflammation
  • And more! 

In other words, you’ll be treating your guests to a therapeutic experience. Once you toss in music, year-round tub comfort, and a few drinks, each guest will wonder how they ever got through a New Year’s Eve without being on board a hot tub cruise. 

Another major perk of our New Year’s Eve tour is that being in a hot tub will help bring you all closer together. After all, soaking in a hot tub is not conducive to spending time on your phone. Therefore, you’ll all be in the moment, which will help strengthen your bonds. 

About the Christmas Lights in DC

The district dazzles from mid-November through the first week of January. Many of the Christmas lights will be visible from the boat, which certainly beats walking DC’s streets on a cold December evening. If you’re lucky, there will be snowflakes in the air to provide a truly spectacular winter ambiance. 

Envision the smile on your friends’ faces as they enjoy toasty warm temperatures while the world around them is cold and snowy. They’ll definitely be talking about their New Year’s Eve tour for several years to come. It’s the height of luxury, after all, which makes it way better than merely spending time on a yacht. Plus, depending on when your boat leaves the dock, you might even get to see DC’s sky lit up by fireworks! 

Sights You’ll See   

Although your New Year’s Eve boat party in DC would be a good enough excuse for a ride, we’ve combined the experience with spectacular sightseeing. You’ll gain a completely unique perspective too, as you’ll be seeing each sight from the water. Allow yourself to melt into the hot tub as our boat takes you past the following noteworthy landmarks:

  • The Washington Monument
  • The Kennedy Center 
  • Arlington Memorial Bridge
  • Lincoln Memorial 
  • Jefferson Memorial
  • The Wharf 
  • Reagan National Airport
  • And much, much more! 

You’ll get to enjoy your unique perspective for approximately two hours. That provides you with plenty of time to experience a therapeutic soak and see DC as the city celebrates the passing of another year. Don’t forget to bring your camera so that you can capture a few photos! One of our deckhands will happily take a photo of your group with your camera to showcase the most relaxing night of your lives. 

What’s included in my New Year’s Eve boat ride around DC? 

  • A one-of-a-kind 2-hour tour of DC
  • Year-round comfort with our variable hot tub thermostats
  • A separate changing room and a private bathroom for your convenience
  • Attentive crewmembers who will happily cater to your every need
  • Dedicated Bluetooth speakers to ensure a personalized music experience for each hot tub 
  • Complimentary cups, water, ice, and coolers
  • Towels available to rent ($8 day of, $6 if purchased in advance)

Meet the Crew

You’ll be welcomed on board by our crew, which includes a United States Coast Guard Master Captain and attentive deckhands. Your captain has attained the highest civilian rank possible, so you can truly unwind and leave the boating in their expert hands. Our captain is also a master storyteller, and they’ll love telling you and your guests some lesser-known stories from the DC area. If you’d rather opt out of this loudspeaker experience, though, simply tell them as you board. 

Deckhands will be onboard to help you with anything you may need. For instance, if you forget something in the changing room, you won’t have to get out of the hot tub to get it! Simply ask one of them to retrieve it for you as you keep having the time of your life.
