This was the perfect way to celebrate me and my friends’ graduation. Everything about this experience was so fun! Marque and his wife were so nice and attentive to whatever we needed. This boat was a great size for 12 ppl and all of us already said we are definitely doing this again! Thanks you for a great time!

Brittny

I had an incredible experience on this yacht, thanks to Mike, the captain. He was an amazing host, going above and beyond to meet all my needs. From lighting my birthday cake to offering complimentary champagne, he truly made my 21st birthday special. The yacht itself was stunning, beautifully furnished, spacious, and with a fantastic atmosphere. I couldn't have asked for a better celebration, and I can't wait to return!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Mike and his team! We booked his yacht to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday! Not only did Mike excellent customer service the day of but also went above and beyond by making contact prior to our trip as well and answering any questions ahead of time. My guests and I felt safe, relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Here are a few highlights: 1. Provided full hours for the time booked despite the rain impacting our even. Mike allowed us to stay on the boat extra time to avoid the rain. 2. You’ll feel like royal treatment as the captain also served as our bartender for the night which helped me as the hosts to just be able to relax. 3. The ship equipment from the 2 flat screens, to the iPad that connects and allows you to play whatever music you like is really a plus. You’re able to set the mood for whatever the occasion and the extra features on the ship really makes it stand out from others.

I celebrated my 25th birthday on this beautiful yacht, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. The owner was very accommodating and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. This yacht made my birthday special, and I couldn’t have asked for a better host. I’d definitely recommend this for a memorable celebration!

Captain Troy and his wonderful son made my partner’s birthday truly memorable. The boat was beautiful, and the trip was incredibly relaxing. I highly recommend booking this adventure for a fantastic experience. We booked an early morning charter and it was super relaxing and fun. They both made sure we were safe & comfortable.

We had such a wonderful experience cruising with Mike! He accommodated us very last-minute due to impending weather and was communicative and responsive. The boat was perfect for our group and had everything we needed for a great outing. I highly recommend booking with Mike for a safe, relaxing, and fun experience!

Washington, dc, united states, boat rental in dc: how to make the right choice.

There is a saying that “the best boat to take to the water is your neighbor’s”. This is because they are not only expensive to buy, they are also difficult to maintain, and this is why renting a boat is such a great option wherever you go. Washington DC has a lot to offer and boat rentals bring a vacation in DC on a whole new level. Whether you are planning to go for kayak rental with your friends or looking for a yacht rental to spend some quality time with your family in DC, boat.me has you covered! Just pick a boat you like from the listings above and don’t hesitate to contact us if you need some help with choosing the right boat.

We have boats for just any kind of water activity but that’s beside the point. Let’s talk about how to choose a Washington DC boat rental. The first thing you will need to consider is the size and type of the boat. The location where you intend to boat is a major consideration in choosing the right boat, with the following other key factors being essential.

Water Conditions

The body of water you are using is an important factor in choosing the right boat to use. If your intent is waterskiing, you would not need a long boat and wouldn’t need to have a lot of space to carry many people. If you are less than 10 people any motor boat about 20 ft would do, just make sure to check the cost of gas - it varies a lot from one type of boat to another.

Length of Time

The duration and length of time is another key consideration in choosing the right boat to opt for. If you are headed on a longer journey, or plan a trip with kids make sure the boat offers an indoor accommodation to make the trip comfortable. This means bedding and toilet facilities that would necessitate larger vessels. Most of the boat owners offer their boats for a short term rental - the most common period of time for dc boat rental would be 4 hours.
