Recent reviews in washington.

Our experience with James was nothing short of incredible! We booked a short rental for our engagement pictures session, and James’ boat was beautiful, immaculate, and incredibly picturesque. James was quick and incredibly safe as well as a very skilled captain who accommodated multiple pick ups/drop offs for our shoot and did everything in his power to get the pictures we wanted. We would recommend him for photography or a nice sailing day - we will definitely be back!

I’ve sailed with this company twice and had amazing experiences both times. The yacht crew is very friendly and professional, and makes sure that their clients have a good time. A bonus is their delicious food options. I’ll definitely be booking with Captain Q again.

$400HR Weekday | $750 HR Weekend| 6-20PPL

Omg we had a great time, Shawn our captain was amazing and fun. We'll definitely do it again. He chargers for our phones, loud speakers etc, he took our pictures and he was flexible with us. It was a great experience P. S. The only rule we didn't like was the no shoes policy especially slippers lol. We thought no shoes meant heels etc so we wore sneakers, slippers etc but it wasn't accepted but once we bypass that, man let the fun begun 😂 😂

We truly could not have asked for a more perfect sailing experience with Captain James!! Our time on the water was so fun thanks to his warmth, hospitality, knowledge, and love for sailing. Our group (including a toddler) loved experiencing the DC area all the way to Mount Vernon. We surprised our friend for her birthday and it was the most fun. I highly recommend this for any and every group looking for a different experience around DC!

The Fantastic Voyage

Our group of 3 families with 7 small kids 3-7 years old had a great time boating with Troy! His boat seems brand new and he is a great captain, taking care of the group and safe boating very well. It was very easy to communicate and organize the trip with him before it started, and everything went as agreed. We could bring our snacks and drinks and enjoy our own music and beautiful DC views for 2 hours, everyone loved it and had a great time! We highly recommend it!

Phoenix is a great captain and tour guide, he knows all of the best locations to meet your interests! We had a great time and appreciate his expertise and attentiveness to our needs, we will book with him soon and highly recommend him as choice! His rates are the best-

#1 Boat Rental In The DMV ★★★★★

Me and my husband had a great time doing a two-hour evening ride. You can bring your own drinks and play your own music, but the best part is really taking in the views. Everything was great from start to finish. Booking online was simple and you can fill out the waivers online ahead of time. I would definitely recommend this experience!

Very nice for a friends outing or date night! We went late afternoon/early evening and it's still pretty hot (late June) but once we took off it was cooler with a breeze. Enjoy the ride and take in great views along the Potomac. It's BYOB and you can connect your music to the boat's Bluetooth. Overall great time and our driver Jafari waited for us even though we were late. Make sure to use your phone for accurate directions, you'll walk though a tall gate past an office to get to the docks. We got a Little confused at first.

Have to show some love to this innovative company that popped up at the perfect time. A tiny pod on a tiny boat trying to celebrate a protracted Halloween, we wondered how we can show off our cute outfits but also stay safe and distant....enter....Yachtsy. Need to take advantage of a gorgeous day with friends or family? Yachtsy. A creative and romantic date idea? Yachtsy!

What do you do in the time of COVID-19 when you want to be out with friends, not pay a billion dollars at a bar where you can only be seated with so many people, enjoy the weather, and do something a little bit different? You rent a boat with Yachtsy. It was super easy to set up, the boat driver was right on time and super polite and you never got the feeling that he was wishing he were somewhere else. Its BYOB, which, how can you beat that!? and you can bring your own munchies. This was a great time and everyone in my group said we needed to do it again once it cooled down. Def check it out.
