If you think Washington, D.C., is only about the government and other, er, less-than-exciting aspects of a capital city, think again. The city is full of beautiful architecture, the National Mall and all of its monuments, a bustling bar and restaurant scene, numerous sports teams, and gorgeous parks. However, Washington, D.C., is also a place to have fun — and lots of it!

They also give visitors, residents, and commuters alike, a rare opportunity for some on-the-water fun in the form of Washington, D.C., yacht charters!

When you’re looking to host a private celebration or corporate event, keep boat charters and yacht rentals in mind, since there aren’t too many easier ways to ensure you and your guests have a great time. Plus, boat rentals are a snap when you book through City Cruises, and the benefits of Washington, D.C., yacht charters are endless.
