5.Party Yacht Cruise along Potomac River

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 22 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $74

2-hour Potomac Party Cruise from Georgetown to the monuments, with open bar, DJ music, and big-name DC sights on a double-decker boat.

“They say it's an open bar, but that's not the case. There were tons of rules when it came to ordering drinks. Plus, the bartenders weren't friendly at all and had pretty bad attitudes. The DJ was terrible. On the bright side, the boat crew was awesome; they were friendly, helpful, and genuinely seemed to care about our experience. All in all, I wouldn't book another Boomerang Cruise. It's a complete rip-off.”
