About
Richmond, say aloha to Tiki Club RVA! Building off the warm welcome of Paddle Club RVA in 2022, Sea Suite Cruises RVA is pleased to introduce Richmond’s first and only BYOB tiki boat bar to the James River! Fitting up to 30 passengers (yes, your heard that right – 30!), this floating tiki bar out of Rocketts Landing is the perfect way to mix and mingle while you sip, cruise, and celebrate out on the water!
While Paddle Club RVA is all private groups of 8-20 passengers, Tiki Club RVA is available for both public cruises where you can buy individual or small group tickets to mix and mingle with others, or for a private rental where you can reserve the entire boat! With capacity for up to 30 passengers, we are also able to accommodate larger groups.
For groups of up to 50 passengers, see our special events page to learn more about how you can reserve both boats at the same time!
