Boat details

The boat

This 24' foot Yamaha 242 Limited S jet powered bowrider is the best boat of its size available on Boatsetter in DC -- perfect for the very best day out on the water with friends cruising around, taking in the monuments from the water, or special group celebrations! Note: listed rental price is for up to 8 guests -- additional guests up to 12 max capacity are $75/each, paid on the day of the rental. This boat books up usually a few weeks in advance for weekend days -- so if you see an available spot, jump on it quick, or choose a weekday or inquire for an evening slot for a big discount. The "half day" rental is 3.5 hours and there are two time slots: 10:30 to 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. If available, time extensions can may be added on the day of the rental for $45 per 30 minutes -- you can decide on the water. A full day rental is 7 hours. Send me a message if the boat shows as booked on the day you want it -- we may be able to work out a flexible time for you on this boat or get you into my other boat of the same size! This boat is in the water at James Creek Marina in the Navy Yard area of Washington DC with easy access and free parking. It has spacious comfortable seating throughout the boat, an amazing rear-facing seating area on the stern, built-in soundsystem, a huge bimini top to provide shade, a bathroom on board, and is super clean, easy to use, and well maintained. Please note: prior boating experience is required to rent this boat, it is not the best option for a first boat rental. No skiing/wakesports/tubing is allowed. I have the boat set for the least restrictive cancellation policy possible on Boatsetter -- you can cancel with a full refund up to 1 day prior to your rental. And in most cases, if weather is going to be so bad that a rental with another group would not be possible anyway (or if the forecast is wrong), I will also work with you on a new time, or still work on a refund within the 24 hour window, too. Renters pay for gas -- the boat is very efficient, the average cost is around $30-40 per half day rental, depending on how much cruising around you do. Other than gas, there are no other fees beyond what Boatsetter shows you on your checkout screen. Please choose either the 10:30 or 3:00 p.m. start time when making your booking. Still have questions? Hit the "Message Owner" button and I'll be right back in touch -- usually within the hour.

Our trip was amazing! The boat was very clean and a great size for our group of six. We all had lots of room to move around. Our guide Adam was awesome! He made the trip even better. Adam took us sightseeing first than took us to a great spot to eat and relax. I’ll be booking again soon.
