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.
A Private Capital Cruise from Navy Yard
Every Washington, DC boat rental boards at the James Creek Marina at 200 V St SW. From there, routes may pass the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge before continuing toward The Wharf, Hains Point, East Potomac Park and Potomac views of the Jefferson Memorial and Washington Monument. The exact itinerary depends on charter length, tides, traffic, weather and operating conditions, but this central route offers first-time visitors and local groups a varied view of the capital without sharing the boat with unrelated passengers.
Choose the Right Boat for Your Group
The private Party Pontoon accommodates up to 8 guests from $400. The two-deck catamaran carries up to 15 and luxury yachts are arranged by our concierge on request. Every charter is BYOB-friendly and includes a USCG-licensed captain, so no boating experience or license is required. Arrive with your group, food and drinks ready to board, then let the captain manage navigation while you enjoy the waterfront.
