Frequently Asked Questions for Boomerang Party Yacht Experience: 2-Hour Cruise, Open Bar + DJ

Question 1

Where do we board the Boomerang Boats?

Accepted Answer

To board the Boomerang Boats, passengers should make their way to the Georgetown Waterfront/Washington Harbour, specifically in front of Nick’s Riverside Grill. If you’re taking an Uber, the nearest address is 3050 K St NW, Washington, DC 20007. After your arrival at this location, simply take a short stroll to the river’s edge. Our boarding area is towards the end of the dock on the right. Please be aware that this is not a marina; it’s a shared dock. If you arrive early, you will probably not see our boat, but rest assured, it will arrive at your scheduled ticketed time.

Question 2

What will I need to check in at the beginning of the cruise?

Accepted Answer

When you check-in at the start of the cruise, you’ll be assisted by a Boomerang deckhand on the dock. You don’t need to bring a printed ticket, as we will have your name on our guest list. If you are boarding a 21+ cruise, be sure to have your government-issued ID on hand, as the deckhand will require it before providing you with a Boomerang boarding token. It’s essential to arrive a few minutes before your cruise’s scheduled time and join the line for check-in with your fellow passengers on the dock.

Question 3

Do I have to be 21yrs+ to cruise?

Accepted Answer

Our cruise offerings vary in terms of age restrictions, and here’s what you need to know:

21+ Cruises: Our signature party yacht and pirate ship cruises are exclusively for guests who are 21 years of age or older. This age requirement is indicated on the event pages for these cruises. You will be asked to present a valid government-issued ID to verify your age before boarding the boat.

All Ages Cruises: We offer sightseeing cruises, family treasure hunt pirate ship cruises, and private charters that are suitable for guests of all ages. Children and families are welcome to enjoy these cruises. If you choose to order an alcoholic beverage at the bar during a cruise that allows all ages, you will still be required to show a government-issued valid ID at the bar.

Question 4

What if a member of my party misses the boat?  Or is running late?  Can we wait for them?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, we leave right on time and cannot go back to the dock to pick up any latecomers. Please be aware that we share the dock with other commercial vessels and there are time restrictions on how long we can remain at the dock. For this reason, it is VERY IMPORTANT for you to arrive before the start time to check-in and board.

Question 5

Are the boats weatherproof?  What if it rains?

Accepted Answer

Our boats are designed to operate in a variety of weather conditions, and we are committed to providing an exceptional experience for our guests. Here’s how we handle different weather scenarios:

Rain or Shine: We operate our cruises regardless of the weather, whether it’s rain or shine. It’s rare for us to cancel a cruise due to a weather forecast, as forecasts can change rapidly or be inaccurate.

Weather Watch: In the event of extreme winds or other adverse weather conditions, a cruise might be slightly delayed to wait out passing weather, while other times, canceling the cruise may be the safest option.

Cruise Cancellation: If a cruise is canceled due to weather or other exceptional circumstances, you will have several options available to you. These include the opportunity to reschedule your cruise for a different date and time, receiving a gift certificate for a future cruise, or receiving a refund for your purchased ticket.

Question 6

If my Boomerang ticket is all inclusive, how can I tip the bartenders?

Accepted Answer

Your thoughtfulness in wanting to tip our bartenders is truly appreciated! If you’d like to show your gratitude for their service, you can do so using the following methods:

Venmo and Cash App: Our bartenders accept tips through Venmo and Cash App, making it convenient for you to express your appreciation electronically.

Cash: Cash tips are also welcomed and can be given directly to the bartenders if you prefer this method.

For private charters, please note that gratuity is already included in the charter price. This gratuity is distributed among the bartender(s), crew, and captain as a token of your appreciation for their exceptional service.
