Your Own Tiki Boat on Virginia Beach's Lynnhaven Inlet
Your crew, a Coast Guard-approved captain and a cooler on ice, cruising calm water near where the bay meets the inlet.
Hampton Roads Boat Company runs this as a private charter on Lynnhaven Inlet. One booking gets the whole tiki boat and its captain, for a group of up to six. The company pitches it for birthdays, bachelorette parties and sunset outings, and shapes each trip around the group on board.
It has 10 reviews so far. All 10 give it five stars.
The 2-hour charter is priced for the boat: USD 370 for the whole group. The 4-hour charter is USD 588. This listing gives a full refund when you cancel at least 24 hours before departure; the company's own terms for direct bookings run on a longer seven-day schedule.

The listing calls Lynnhaven Inlet one of Virginia Beach's most popular boating areas, known for calm water, waterfront restaurants and views where the bay meets the inlet. The route passes First Landing State Park without stopping. The park marks the spot where English colonists landed in 1607 before continuing to Jamestown.
The company says its crew finds sandbars and beaches where you can stop and sit in the sun. Captains narrate, too. Hydeia H. wrote in July 2026 that Carson "shared interesting historical and geographical facts about the area."
Two Hours or Four
Two hours is the base charter. The 4-hour option is built for lingering: the listing gives it time to visit waterfront restaurants, swim and jump from the top deck. A swim can still fit into the shorter run. Regina N. wrote in July 2026 that her sisters got about 10 minutes in the water during their 2-hour ride.
Ellen F. went out for sunset in June 2026. Her verdict: "Spectacular sunset and calm water."
What's Aboard, and What to Bring
The charter covers the captain, fuel, a Bluetooth sound system and a cooler stocked with ice, bottled water, sodas and prepackaged chips. You can bring your own food and drinks, and the company's FAQ says alcohol is BYOB. There's a small restroom on board.
- Gratuity isn't included.
- The company asks guests to skip spray sunscreen.
- Children 12 and under wear a life jacket for the whole charter.
- Six is a hard limit: the company says a group that arrives with more than six without approval has its charter cancelled.
- Service animals are allowed, and the company's FAQ also welcomes well-behaved pets with advance notice.
- The listing says infants can ride in a pram or stroller, specialized infant seats are available, public transportation is nearby and the trip suits all physical fitness levels. The company's own pages don't address these points. Raise any that matter when you book.
