5-Star Boat Cruises in Washington, DC

I went on a beautiful sunset cruise for a fundraiser. Saw the National Mall from the Potomac at night, it was stunning! The crew members were polite and courteous. The boat docked with a large party group before our group and you would never have known there was another group on 5 minutes before because the boat was spotless.

Wondering what to do when you have friends in town? Boomerang Cruises! After a day of museums, and typical D.C. attractions, treat yourself! On the last trip, my friends had the best time enjoying cocktails, music, and an awesome view on the Potomac. Don't forget to ask the bartenders about the "Shot Ski!" It is a game-changer. Thank me later.

I love going on the Boomerang Party Yacht. The staff is always friendly and helpful! The drinks are amazing! I would highly recommend for any event, we have been on for birthdays, going away parties, celebrations and just for a fun night out. The sunset cruises are highly recommended. Perfect views of the city and fun all around. Great way to meet new people in the area or have a fun night out in DC if you are visiting.

My twin sister and I chose the Boomerang Party Yacht to celebrate our 25th birthday! We had so much fun with our friends. It wasn't too crowded, nice views and the drinks were great. The staff was nice and funny. We had fun doing the limbo. I highly recommend the sunset cruise. Great to see DC in the evening and night. Book ahead because they do sell out!

I have been on the Boomerang Yacht's day, night, sunset, and brunch cruises with friends and it never disappoints! Great crew, bartenders, atmosphere, and views of DC. I have been in DC for almost 5 years and I always re-appreciate how great it is on these cruises- especially in the springtime. Highly recommend for anyone visiting or who lives in the area!

Recent reviews in washington.

July 2024: What a great time we had out on the water celebrating a 50th Birthday with friends. The boat was clean, large enough for our group of 4 + the Captain and we were able to bring food, drinks and decor along for the party. Captain José was very accommodating and overall we had an excellent time cruising for 2 hours. Thank you José & Abadi!

Amazing Ladies Night Out!!!! Marque and Lisa are awesome. Communication prior to cruising was prompt and professional. They were also very accommodating and went the extra mile to ensure our cruise went seamless. The yacht was sparkling clean, comfortable and provided plenty of space for our party of 11. Although the pictures are accurate, the facilities are even better in person. If you're looking for a cruise, look no further! This is it! I would highly recommend and will book for future cruises!

Had such a great experience on our boat trip. It was a fun birthday celebration, we were able to bring food/drinks. Would definitely recommend to anyone considering to book. The hosts are communicative and amazing overall. Look forward to booking again.

I wanted to charter a boat for my wife’s birthday with friends, and we had a wonderful time! Marque was a great host, communicator, and captain, answering any questions we had and providing for my friends and me. The price point was very reasonable and the experience was great! Highly recommend.

Phoenix is a great & friendly captain! He adjusted his location and took us to the D.C. monuments!! His boat is super clean, feels new, and has a nice sound system. His rate is super reasonable, and I would DEFINITELY book again!!

Excellent time celebrating a birthday aboard the Sancha with Marque and Lisa. Marque was accommodating, knowledgeable, and laid back. Lisa was hospitable and lively! She bought so much energy to our function. She helped us out a lot. Thank youuuu both! I highly recommend. We will be back!

For those making lifestyle changes around the way they drink or those who do not drink, we also proudly serve non-alcoholic beverages and zero-proof mocktails. Additionally, we serve soft drinks and Gatorade. For public cruises on evenings and weekends, all passengers (21+) will be offered a complimentary High Noon upon boarding.

Light snacks such as chips are available for purchase on board all cruises. During public cruises and tiki tours, passengers are permitted to bring their own food, but must keep in mind space considerations for shared space with other guests.

Building on Sea Suite Cruises’ legacy as DC’s favored choice for boat parties of 8-20 passengers for the past 5 years and Whitlow’s legacy as a meeting spot for decades, Whitlow’s on Water emerges in 2024 as the premier destination for unforgettable boat parties on the Potomac.

It’s no secret that DC’s weather can be a little unpredictable. That’s why we designed Whitlow’s on Water to eliminate the guesswork when planning an outdoor event well in advance.

On beautiful sunny days, our open concept with full tiki roof coverage allows you to enjoy the best of the fresh air and river’s breeze without being exposed to the sun’s harsh rays.

These panels can be fully or partially closed, providing protection from rain, wind, or colder temperatures, ensuring your group stays comfortable and dry, no matter the conditions. To give you a sense of the fully enclosed experience, imagine an enclosed rooftop bar or a luxury wedding tent—except it’s out on the water.

In the rare event that extreme weather conditions require a change of plans, we’ll collaborate with you and your group to find an alternative space at Whitlow’s DC on U Street or arrange for an alternate date, ensuring you can still enjoy a fantastic outing on the water.
