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.
Enjoy Unhurried Time Together on the Water
A private date-night cruise offers an alternative to a crowded restaurant or public tour boat. After boarding at the James Creek Marina at 200 V St SW, the captain may guide the vessel toward The Wharf, Hains Point and central Potomac views, with the Jefferson Memorial and Washington Monument visible on suitable routes. Sunset is popular for anniversaries, while an earlier departure provides brighter sightseeing and can finish in time for dinner ashore.
From Casual Dates to Milestone Anniversaries
The private Party Pontoon carries up to 8 guests from $400, luxury yachts can be arranged by our concierge for milestone anniversaries, and the two-deck catamaran accommodates up to 15 for a double date or small celebration. Every option includes a USCG-licensed captain and is BYOB-friendly, allowing you to bring wine, dinner, dessert or a personal playlist. The selected boat remains private to your group.
