We had a wonderful time on the boat tour. Perfect weather! The sunset was absolutely phenomenal!
They treated us amazingly. We took the 7pm slot on a Monday night. Unfortunately, we were the only two people who turned up. However, they let the cruise continue.
The staff on board were nice, made us feel at ease, served us quality drinks, and gave a nice cruise.

It was my fault for going on one of the hottest days of the year, so I would like to go again in nice weather. The recording that plays throughout the boat during the cruise was either too quiet or there just weren’t any speakers near my seat, as I couldn’t really make out any of recording.
Those points aside, I had a lovely time and the boat crew were super awesome. They went above and beyond to welcome me aboard and make sure we all had a memorable little cruise. I would give 5 stars if I could go again in pleasant weather and find a seat where I could hear the tour.

45 min boat ride around the harbor. Fairly inexpensive and perfect for a summer day! Snacks and drinks on board for purchase. Restrooms available as well. The dining at the harbor is great too.
What a fun experience and a cool way to see the city from a totally different perspective! Enjoyed the tour info, the views, the breeze, and the margarita so much...I only wish it would have lasted longer.
Forty minute open air cruise of the Potomac River with narration covered a lot of ground for such a short cruise. Snacks & beverages available for purchase (including adult beverages). Staff were friendly & helpful. Tables set up & you can bring your own take-out meal along. Very much enjoyed view of Washington from the river.
We live near DC but this was first time we took this River Cruise. We brought our German guests so they could experience DC from the river. Boarding and ticketing was easy. Pre-taped narration was easy to hear and very informative. Crew was great and our weather for the day was absolutely perfect. Drinks and snacks are available for an extra charge. Our group loved the tour and it was a highlight of their week.
This was an awesome experience for all ages. Multiple seating options and even an indoor option with AC and a little snack station and bathroom. Nice way to charter to Alexandra and the wharf if you want to avoid paying for multiple parking at different locations from the harbor and it gives you extra ways to explore the area. The staff was amazing and very knowledgeable. We even bumped into the captain he was very funny.
