Virginia Beach, a vibrant coastal city along the Atlantic Ocean, offers more than just sandy shores—it’s a playground for water enthusiasts and laid-back cruisers alike. The Hampton Roads Boat Company brings a fresh, lively twist to the local maritime scene with its uniquely social, private tiki boat charters. Their double-decker tiki boat can host up to 12 guests, creating an intimate yet spacious venue for groups to personalize a day on the water.
This bareboat charter experience sets itself apart by giving you full control over the vibe.

The boat itself is fitted with a Bluetooth speaker, a large cooler, and all required safety gear, ensuring your crew stays comfortable and safe during your escape.
Cruise through iconic Virginia Beach waterways, including the scenic Lynnhaven River and Broad Bay, where calm blue waters and gentle breezes create a soundtrack of serenity.
