DC December & January Holiday Hot Tub Boat Ride Details

Picture yourself inside a hot tub during a holiday cruise in Washington DC. While everyone else is bundled up, you’ll be able to enjoy the hot tub in your swimming outfit. What a special treat it’ll be for all your guests, too. Rather than having the same old holiday get together, you’ll all have a truly memorable experience onboard Sea the City’s magnificent holiday boat! 

Christmas Lights Boat Tour

Christmas lights in DC are bigger and better than in many other cities. In fact, more than 200 businesses put out lights on the main streets alone, which doesn’t even count most of the lights you’ll be able to see from your Christmas boat ride. Celebrate the holiday season as you take in the sights during our holiday lights cruise. Be sure to bring your camera too, as we’re going to take you past some of the best buildings and landmarks DC has to offer. Plus, even an early January cruise allows you to see all the beautiful lights!  

The Hot Tub Boat Experience – The Water is Always Warm

Riding on a hot tub boat will allow you to sit back and take it all in. Just think: your holiday light cruise doesn’t require you to walk the cold streets. Instead, you’ll be relaxing in style! Let yourself reach the height of relaxation in the hot tub’s crystal-clear water. Plus, you’ll receive several other benefits of hot tub soaking such as:

  • Reduces inflammation 
  • Reduces anxiety and stress
  • Reduces blood pressure 
  • Better circulation 
  • Increases your range of motion

If you’ve got any potential guests who are unsure about the hot tub, be sure to let them know that we maintain the highest standards of cleanliness. Our hot tubs are sanitized between guests and maintained just like a luxury hotel. They are chlorinated, commercial grade, professionally maintained, and presented to your group in immaculate condition!

Another perk of joining us on a hot tub tour is that we can adjust the temperature of each tub so that it’s perfect for your group! We have two tubs on the boat, which means you can have up to 20 people. Put your extreme heat lovers in one tub, and the rest in the other. That way, everyone wins! 

About the Christmas Lights in DC 

The best thing about the lights in DC is that you can take a Christmas light cruise anytime between mid-November until the first week of January. This allows you to coordinate schedules so that your entire family can come. We allow guests as young as 10 to join in on the fun, as long as they’re accompanied by a parent or guardian. 

Of course, most people will want to see the lights on a December cruise, and we’re happy to offer five different time slots every single day of the month! Therefore, whether your family consists of early birds who prefer to go in the morning or night owls who’d rather see the city all lit up at night, we’ll be able to accommodate you. 

Included on your hot tub tour is: 

  • Private bathroom and separate changing room for your convenience
  • Access to our one-of-a-kind hot tub boat for two hours
  • Dedicated Bluetooth speakers at each hot tub for personalized music
  • Attentive deckhands to cater to your needs
  • Complimentary coolers, ice, water, and cups
  • Towels available to rent ($8 day of, $6 if purchased in advance)

Plus, you’re invited to BYOB! Beer, champagne, wine, and hard seltzer only, please. 

Sights You’ll See

Don’t forget that our winter boat tour also runs all year long! The primary difference is that you’ll get to see tons of holiday lights in addition to the places we usually sail by, including: 

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

In total, your hot tub cruise will last two hours! Be sure to bring your cameras with you as you’ll see each of the above sights from a completely unique perspective. Anyone who doesn’t join you on your holiday adventure will instantly become jealous as you show off your frame-worthy photography.

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
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
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

Meet the Crew

Our captain and deckhands will meet you as you board our boat. We only hire United States Coast Guard Master Captains, which is the highest rank a civilian can attain. This is because we care deeply about your safety. Our captain also has a wealth of knowledge about the DC area, which they can share with you and your guests via a microphone. Or, if you prefer, they can stay quiet as you have the time of your lives!

Our deckhands are always ready to serve you, so please let one know if there is anything you need. Remember: This is your time to relax, unwind, and melt into the bubbling water.
