Sights You’ll See
Combining sightseeing with ultimate comfort is our specialty, and you won’t find our exclusive hot tubs anywhere else in DC. Cruise the Potomac River, indulge in your favorite beverages, and take in each of these sights:
- The Lincoln Memorial: Enjoy this iconic landmark from the water rather than from land – an exclusive, stunning view most people will never see.
- The Washington Monument: A tribute to the first president of the United States, towering more than 500 feet above the rest of the DC skyline.
- The Jefferson Memorial: The striking memorial to Thomas Jefferson, primary author of the Declaration of Independence – open since 1943 and completely new from the water.
- The Kennedy Center: A hub of art and culture honoring President John F. Kennedy; in the evening it glows with warm lights reflected on the Potomac.
- The DC Skyline at Sunset: A breathtaking panorama of the nation’s capital – impossible to view from the water without a new appreciation for it.
Meet the Crew
Every captain we employ is a United States Coast Guard-licensed Master Captain aboard our 40-foot, Coast Guard-certified vessel, so you know you’re in expert hands. Attentive deckhands are on board throughout your cruise – pouring drinks, taking group photos, and tidying up empties – all while giving your group its privacy.
Our captain is also a master storyteller. Ask them to bring DC’s history to life and they’ll regale you with tales of the nation’s founding, or simply cue up your playlist and let you soak in peace. Either way, you just sit back and enjoy the ride.
