Why Have Yachts Club
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.
Celebrate with a Moving DC Backdrop
A private birthday charter replaces a fixed venue with changing waterfront scenery. After boarding at the James Creek Marina at 200 V St SW, the group may cruise toward The Wharf, Hains Point and Potomac monument views, with longer approved routes potentially reaching Alexandria or National Harbor. Daytime suits family celebrations and sightseeing, while sunset creates an atmospheric setting for milestone birthdays. Final routing depends on duration, tides, traffic, weather and the captain's judgment.
Match the Vessel to the Milestone
The Party Pontoon accommodates up to 8 guests from $400. The two-deck catamaran holds up to 15, and luxury yachts can be arranged by our concierge for an upscale milestone celebration. Every private charter includes a USCG-licensed captain and is BYOB-friendly, including guest-provided food and cake. Confirm any decorations or special setup in advance and bring the cake in a secure container for boarding.
