Experience DC area waterways like never before aboard the Meridian M/Y "Arabella". This is an excellent boat for a day cruise with family and friends.
You will have a unique perspective on sights and places such as Kennedy Center, Key Bridge and Arlington Memorial Bridge, Watergate complex, Lincoln and Arlington Memorials, Reagan International Airport, The Wharf, Nationals Ballpark, Old Town Alexandria and National Harbor.
Docking at Georgetown Waterfront offers a unique boating experience. The free public dock brings many local and visiting boats. The tour boats make regular loops back and forth. The kayakers from nearby boathouses explore the waters nearby. And
many people stroll about the boardwalk. The restaurants at the Waterfront include Fiola Mare, Sequoia, Guapo's, Farmers Fishers Bakers, Bangkok Joe's and several others including a Starbucks, an pizza and an ice cream places.
You can also chose to spend your time relaxing at anchor and lounging on the inflatables at the Three Sisters Islands - a popular local spot for kayaking, paddle boarding and hanging out at the sandbar that gets exposed at low tides. And if the hustle and bustle of the city grows tiring you can cruise further up the Potomac past the buildings and into quiet and secluded parts of the river.
Arabella features fully air conditioned salon with 360 degree views, full bath, 2 comfortable cabins, galley with a fridge and a microwave. The boat features a Bluetooth enabled sound system. Extended flybridge provides comfortable and unobstructed views from the second level.
