Full description

From the prestigious halls of Georgetown University to the majestic spans of the Key Bridge and the grandeur of the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, every moment on this cruise offers a picturesque slice of the capital's heritage.

Each vessel in the fleet is perfectly equipped for a comfortable and engaging tour. Whether you board the expansive yacht, the charmingly compact mini yacht, or the adventurous pirate ship, you’ll find ample seating, indoor and outdoor viewing areas, and professional sound systems that ensure you don’t miss a single tale. Plus, with a full bar available on each boat, you can enjoy a drink in hand as you witness the near-constant flurry of aviation from Reagan Airport, marvel at the grandeur of the Pentagon, or reflect on the tranquil beauty of Theodore Roosevelt Island. This tour isn’t just a simple outing; it’s a deep dive into the heart of one of America’s most beloved cities, seen from its most famous river.
