    Captain Don, Chris, and Georgette run an exceptional operation that keeps guests coming back for special occasions and celebrations. The beautifully maintained classic wooden boats provide smooth, scenic cruises along the Delaware River while knowledgeable captains share fascinating local history and point out landmarks. Guests consistently praise the warm hospitality and professionalism, with hosts going above and beyond to accommodate late arrivals, reschedule for weather, and even warm up food brought onboard. The experience strikes a perfect balance between elegant and relaxed, with many reviewers mentioning charcuterie boards, mimosas, and stunning sunset views of the Philadelphia skyline. Photographers appreciate the accommodating staff who work to capture perfect shots. Several guests spotted bald eagles during their trips, adding an unexpected wildlife element. The attention to detail shows throughout, from the spotless boats to thoughtful touches that make birthdays, anniversaries, and even proposals feel truly special. This has become a beloved local treasure for creating memorable moments on the water.

    My husband and I along with 2 other couples recently had the absolute pleasure of taking a boat trip with Sea Philly, and it was wonderful. From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, memorable, and organized. The boat itself was clean, comfortable, and perfect for taking in the stunning views of the Philadelphia waterfront. We cruised past historic landmarks, while soaking in the skyline at sunset, every moment felt special. Our host Georgette (owner) and Chris (Captain) greeted us upon arrival. They took our things onboard. After that all we did was relax. They were professional, knowledgeable, attentive and genuinely welcoming. You could tell they were passionate about what they do, and they created a relaxed, fun, and safe atmosphere for everyone on board. We had a chance to enjoy some great music, great conversations, tasty light bits, sip drinks, and take tons of photos it was the ideal mix of sightseeing and relaxation. Whether you're a local looking for a unique way to experience the city or a visitor wanting something unforgettable, I can’t recommend Sea Philly enough. Thank you to the team for an incredible day on the water—I’ll definitely be back for another ride!
