5-Star Boat Cruises in Washington, DC

I went on a beautiful sunset cruise for a fundraiser. Saw the National Mall from the Potomac at night, it was stunning! The crew members were polite and courteous. The boat docked with a large party group before our group and you would never have known there was another group on 5 minutes before because the boat was spotless.

Wondering what to do when you have friends in town? Boomerang Cruises! After a day of museums, and typical D.C. attractions, treat yourself! On the last trip, my friends had the best time enjoying cocktails, music, and an awesome view on the Potomac. Don't forget to ask the bartenders about the "Shot Ski!" It is a game-changer. Thank me later.

I love going on the Boomerang Party Yacht. The staff is always friendly and helpful! The drinks are amazing! I would highly recommend for any event, we have been on for birthdays, going away parties, celebrations and just for a fun night out. The sunset cruises are highly recommended. Perfect views of the city and fun all around. Great way to meet new people in the area or have a fun night out in DC if you are visiting.

My twin sister and I chose the Boomerang Party Yacht to celebrate our 25th birthday! We had so much fun with our friends. It wasn't too crowded, nice views and the drinks were great. The staff was nice and funny. We had fun doing the limbo. I highly recommend the sunset cruise. Great to see DC in the evening and night. Book ahead because they do sell out!

I have been on the Boomerang Yacht's day, night, sunset, and brunch cruises with friends and it never disappoints! Great crew, bartenders, atmosphere, and views of DC. I have been in DC for almost 5 years and I always re-appreciate how great it is on these cruises- especially in the springtime. Highly recommend for anyone visiting or who lives in the area!

‘Illegal payouts,' yacht parties: DC fines title companies $3.2M

"we want home buyers to be able to trust that the referrals that they're getting from their agents are not contaminated with an undisclosed conflict of interest," d.c.'s attorney general said., by ted oberg, news4 investigative reporter , joseph olmo, news4 reporter and maggie more • published august 29, 2024 • updated on august 29, 2024 at 6:56 am.

Four title companies doing business in D.C. are set to pay over $3 million in penalties for operating an illegal kickback scheme, the Office of the Attorney General announced Thursday.

Title insurance is familiar to anyone who owns a home or is currently buying one. It's an important part of the process that ensures the home bought actually belongs to the buyer.

The four title companies – Allied Title & Escrow, KVS Title, Modern Settlements and Union Settlements – face $3.29 million total in penalties.

D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb told News4 the title companies broke the law and cost District homebuyers money.

"It is illegal, reprehensible to be squeezing more profits out of people by virtue of violating the law," Schwalb said.

The scheme DC officials described

The title companies offered real estate agents “exclusive, lucrative, and discounted investment opportunities in either the companies themselves or in shell entities” in exchange for client referrals, the attorney general’s office said in a statement.

The D.C. attorney general says it is common for a real estate agent to suggest a title insurance company, but it is illegal for the agent to receive any compensation for doing so.

"Whether it's cash, whether it's a fancy yacht trip, whether it's in distribution or a dividend in a joint venture that's established to funnel fees," Schwalb said, "all of that is illegal."

In addition to profits from referrals, Allied Title & Escrow threw multiple parties on yachts in the Chesapeake Bay for real estate agents, the office said. The parties were “rewards for referrals and intended to incentivize the agents’ continued loyalty and future referrals,” authorities said.

The most clearly illegal version of a kickback scheme is one where a title company directly pays a real estate agent money for referring a client to a title company. Instead of that "front door" version of illegal activity, Schwalb said, the four title companies tried to take "the back door."

" They tried to go through the back door with this surreptitious scheme of creating a joint venture or an entity, and giving the agents discounted interests in those entities, and then passing the money through the entities as if they were distributions or dividends," Schwalb said.

The schemes had negative effects for homebuyers in a city where closing on a home is already expensive, Schwalb said. Since real estate agents involved were pointing their clients to certain title companies, it limited those clients' ability to shop around for the best price.

"We want home buyers to be able to trust that the referrals that they're getting from their agents are not contaminated with an undisclosed conflict of interest," Schwalb said.

The penalties.

The $3.29 million in penalties is the total the title company will pay. Here's the breakdown, under the terms of the agreement:

• Allied will pay $1.9 million to D.C.
• KVS will pay $1 million to D.C.
• Union will pay $325,000 to D.C.
• Modern will pay $65,000 to D.C.

The attorney general's office said at least $2 million of the settlement will go to homeowners who may have lost money because of the schemes.

A claims process will be made publicly available on the attorney general's website for anyone who used one of the four title companies to close on a home.

All four companies agreed to stop giving real estate agents rewards for referring clients, and to either "divest real estate agents from their ownership interests in the companies or cease the companies' title insurance operations in the District," the office of the attorney general said in a statement.

The office is "keeping an eye" on the real estate agents involved in the scheme, Schwalb said, but the settlement announced Thursday is only with the title companies.

The title companies' responses

News4 reached out to each of the title companies involved in the settlement for comment.

A spokesperson for KSV Title said: "KVS Title strongly disagrees that its joint ventures operated improperly or harmed consumers, and denied any wrongdoing in its agreement with the Office of the Attorney General," the statement reads. "KVS Title is proud of the work its joint ventures performed for consumers, but ultimately decided it was in the best interests of the company to settle these claims and avoid costly and protracted litigation."

A spokesperson for Modern Settlements said: "We do not agree with the allegations made by the Attorney General," the statement reads. "Modern Settlements has always been and continues to be committed to playing by the rules and providing consumers with an exceptional experience at competitive prices.  We made a business decision to pay DC $65,000 rather than go through the drawn out process of a more extensive legal battle."

The other two title companies, Allied Title & Escrow and Union Settlements, have not responded to a request for comment as of this writing. News4 will update you here if they do.

Title insurance companies settle DC allegations of kickbacks, including yacht parties

Four title insurance companies will pay a combined $3.3 million in fines to settle allegations by the D.C. Attorney General (OAG) of illegal kickbacks to real estate agents in exchange for steering clients to their businesses.

Title insurance is one of the biggest costs home buyers pay at closing. It is required by most lenders to protect against costs from an unexpected property title challenge.

Allied Title & Escrow, KVS Title, Modern Settlements and Union Settlements will pay the District penalties ranging from $65,000 to $1.9 million to settle the allegations. The District will use $1.75 million from the settlements for restitution to affected consumers, which the Office of the Attorney General said it would detail in coming months .

Under terms of the settlement, the four companies agreed to end the practice of giving real estate agents consideration for referral business, and will either cease doing business in the District or divest real estate agents from their ownership interests.

Attorney General Brian Schwalb said investigations found the companies illegally provided real estate agents exclusive investment opportunities in their companies or shell entities. In return for referrals, agents received kickbacks in the form of a split of the profits. The OAG also said Allied compensated agents with yacht parties on the Chesapeake Bay to incentivize future referrals.

The D.C. Office of the Attorney General said those kickbacks reduced home buyers’ ability to shop for the best price on title insurance services and hurt competition in the District’s title insurance and escrow markets.

All four companies agreed to end the practices before the OAG’s investigation was completed. Allied, KVS and Modern issued statements denying improper conduct but settled to avoid protracted litigation, the Wall Street Journal reported . Union did not respond, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Settlement copies for Allied , KVS , Union , and Modern  are online.

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump delivered remarks at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention in Washington, DC. He told the party’s members that they should choose him as their nominee and be “winners” instead of being content with getting 3% of the vote in the general election. This was a reference to the Libertarian Party ’s most successful attempt to date to win the presidency under nominee Gary Johnson in 2016. He also made several pledges, such as filling senior posts with Libertarians if elected, pardoning Jan. 6 convicts, and commuting the life sentence of convicted drug trafficker Ross Ulbricht. The former president’s speech was met with controversy, with the crowd booing throughout his remarks and some Libertarians protesting his appearance in the days preceding this event. Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also addressed the convention on the previous day, though neither Mr. Kennedy nor Mr. Trump ran on the Libertarian ticket. close
