The lower deck only has seating around the windows on bench sort of seats, you have to turn your head to be able to see anything if you are by a window. It was loud, people talking not really interested in the narration.

Fully guided tour

I looked that there was a bar, but I didn't expect there to be a speaking tour the whole time. So going in, know that it is not a social boat ride. There is a guided tour, very informative, from start to finish

Wrost experience

Worst experience ever . The boat ride is very boring and the view is not so great to enjoy. Won’t recommend

The cruise was gorgeous. It was sunny and the weather was delightful. We started on the lower deck and quickly made our way to the main deck. The breeze with the wind blowing was just right. The announcer of the tour was clear and on point. I truly enjoyed myself. Something I recommend!!! Especially when you are looking to get on a water cruise. Thanks Boomerang “Blue”

Views from the Potomac

Weather was rainy but the tour was great! The Tour operators were knowledgeable and friendly. I spent my time going between the warm dry interior and heading back outside to watch the view go by in the rain.

The tour with no tour

Leslie_G, May 2026

I booked a sightseeing cruise with a tour. The outdoor area (the part where people on a nice day WANT to sit) and the speaker system was broken. No audio was available for the outside section. I asked the employee and he told me it was working downstairs. I explained that I booked a boat tour, boats tours are for outside. He shrugged. I’d like a refund.

The tour offers a fresh...

The tour offers a fresh perspective on the landmarks around the National Mall. It’s family-friendly, with a covered lower deck for comfort. If you choose to sit on the upper deck, be sure to bring a hat or wear sunscreen.
