Clouds add drama. Beautiful light this evening.

“Just” a random snap from a morning cruise today. (No monuments up here.) Above Georgetown are more than 3 navigable miles of what feels like (no, actually is) a total escape from the city. It’s already much quieter and more peaceful on the water, but up here, and around that bend, it’s a whole different world. Join us for an escape within an escape.

08/19/2024

Stunning sunset light this evening on Fort Washington, just south of Washington DC. Join us on a private cruise to learn more about the history of this fort.

Few boats follow the Potomac River all the way north to Chain Bridge. A scenic, narrow, and serene stretch of water, often very quiet (even at the bridge), and ideal for fishing. Paddle boards and kayaks join in on weekends and good weather weekdays.

Another beautiful day on the water. (It’s cooler out here.)

Fireworks are the best over water! And from the water! Competing impressively against the July 4th DC show… happy 275th birthday, Alexandria! @visitalexva

Through this upcoming (warm) weekend, and into Tuesday, add a rare experience to your DC monuments tour: all of the @clipperrace sailing boats are docked at our home port @wharfmarina. They just completed leg 7 of their around the world race, from Panama.

Enjoy them from our recommended perspective: the (cooler) water view!

Walking Memorials

The Washington Monument… getting its steps in on Memorial Day Weekend.

Cruise ships in DC?

Cruise ships in DC? Yep, DC is a waterfront destination of consequence. Join us for a private (slightly smaller) boat tour of the monuments.

The beautiful emerald Potomac awaits to host your Memorial Day private cruise, passing by multiple memorials, under Memorial Bridge, and with views of Arlington National Cemetery.
