Give the bride's group a private boat instead of sharing a public cruise or crowded venue. Play your playlist, bring food and drinks, and cruise the Potomac past The Wharf, Alexandria, or National Harbor with a USCG-licensed captain handling the boat.
Private whole-boat charter · USCG captain included · BYOB-friendly · Book in minutes
Have Yachts Club is a full-service private boat-charter concierge on the Potomac. We own and operate our signature Party Pontoon (from $400, up to 8 guests) with a USCG-licensed captain included, and our concierge can arrange a larger boat — a two-deck catamaran or a luxury yacht — for bigger groups on request. One team handles the boat, captain, timing and boarding, so you just show up and enjoy the water.
A bachelorette charter gives the group a private boat without unrelated public-cruise passengers. After boarding at the James Creek Marina at 200 V St SW, the captain may cruise toward The Wharf, Hains Point and monument views, with longer routes potentially continuing toward Alexandria or National Harbor. Daytime works well for bright group photos, while a pre-sunset departure creates an easy transition into the evening. The charter is BYOB-friendly, so the group can bring preferred drinks, snacks and a playlist.
The Party Pontoon hosts up to 8 guests from $400. The two-deck catamaran accommodates up to 15, and luxury yachts can be arranged by our concierge for a more elevated bridal weekend. A USCG-licensed captain is included with every charter. Confirm the final headcount and any decoration request in advance, then ask everyone to arrive together with manageable coolers and bags ready to board.
