PLEASE NOTE: Half Day Rentals on this boat are *THREE HOURS* - with option to extend on the day of the booking the boat's schedule allows.

Operated by the highest rated owner on Boatsetter in DC, this boat is perfect for the best day out on the water with friends cruising around, taking in the monuments from the water, or special group celebrations! 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 for a discount.
_______________________________________________________________
The "half day" rental is 3 hours and there are three time slots: 10:00 to 1:00 p.m. • 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. • 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. If available, time extensions can may be added on the day of the rental for $100 per 30 minutes -- you can decide to extend even once you are on the water. A full day rental is 6 hours.
_______________________________________________________________
This boat is not suitable for a group that does not have a responsible driver with moderate prior boating experience (i.e. multiple outings on a powerboat of a similar size) If you wish to hire a boat guide to handle the driving for your group, please inquire with us if one is available. If available, the guide is $65 per hour (paid directly to the guide). No skiing/wakesports/tubing is allowed.

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 3 boats of various sizes/prices!
_______________________________________________________________
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 seating for up to 7 throughout the boat, a huge bimini top to provide shade, and is super clean, easy to use, and well maintained.
_______________________________________________________________
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 even beyond that, 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 just totally wrong), I will also work with you on a new time, or still work on a full refund within the 24 hour window, too -- we're the most flexible owner on here for bad weather.
_______________________________________________________________
Renters pay for gas -- the boat is very efficient, the average cost is around $20-25 per half day rental, depending on how much cruising around you do.
_______________________________________________________________
There are no other fees beyond what Boatsetter shows you on your checkout screen due at the time of booking. Gas reimbursement, extra guest fees, and time extension fees if you so choose are all paid on the day of the rental. Please choose either the 10:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., or 6 p.m. start time when requesting your booking.
