Cruise the Potomac aboard a pirate ship with an open bar, music, light snacks, and sweeping Washington, DC views.

About this tour

See Washington, DC from the water aboard the Boomerang Pirate Ship, where open-air decks, lively music, and a premium open bar set the scene for a two-hour Potomac cruise. This 21+ party cruise offers a fresh way to enjoy the city by day, at sunset, or after dark.

Settle in across two levels, take in the Washington skyline, and dance to music as the boat sails along the river. Your ticket includes a premium open bar with cocktails, liquor, beer, wine, High Noon seltzers, filtered water, sodas, and juices, plus light pre-packaged snacks. The cruise is not narrated; the focus is on the music, the views, and time with your group. Pirate costumes are welcome, but there’s no need to dress up.

Washington DC’s pirate ship party cruise departs from the Georgetown dock at Washington Harbour, in front of Nick’s Riverside Grill. Choose a daytime or nighttime sailing at checkout, then come aboard for a spirited view of the capital from the Potomac.

  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.

  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
