What you'll do:

Step aboard the Admiral Tilp, a 40-passenger double-decker riverboat, for a private party boat charter on the Potomac in the heart of Washington, DC.

• Board at The Wharf - Meet your captain and crew at The Wharf Marina and settle into your private charter for the next two hours.

• Cruise past DC landmarks - Take in views of the Lincoln Memorial, Old Town Alexandria, and the Georgetown waterfront as you glide along the Potomac River.

• Customize your route - Work with your crew to shape the route around your group's plans, whether that's a slow scenic loop or more time near a specific landmark.

• Spread out across two decks - Move freely between indoor and outdoor seating as your group mingles, dines, or dances.

• Bring your own drinks and decorations - Set up the boat to match your event, from a bachelorette party to a rehearsal dinner.

Two hours on the water gives your group room to celebrate at its own pace, with the DC skyline as the backdrop the whole way.

Why we love it for your party:

• Iconic views - Landmarks like the Lincoln Memorial and Georgetown waterfront turn every celebration into a scenic one.

• Private and personalized - The boat is yours alone for the full charter, with routes that flex around weddings, birthdays, or corporate events.

• Modern with history - Built in 1989 and named for Frederick Tilp, the "Admiral of the Chesapeake Bay," the vessel carries DC's maritime history into a modern private charter.

• Spacious and versatile - Two decks and indoor/outdoor seating mean there's always room to gather, whether your group wants to dance or take in the view.

• Departs from The Wharf - One of DC's most walkable, easy-to-reach marinas, so your group can start the celebration without a complicated commute.
