I have never been to DC before and saw this Groupon - 1/2 price Moonlight Tour thinking what a nice way to spend the evening and get some great night pictures. My 2 teenagers and I were about 30 minutes early for the windy/chilly evening cruise and had to wait outside the gate. Brrrr - they finally opened the gate... More

I'm writing this while on the boat. we paid 1/2 price...still a complete disappointment. Could only see Washington monument and capital from a very very long ways away....never got close at all. I look around everyone is bored...someone is actually sleeping!!!!! Captains narrations were nice but the cruise so not worth the money. Do a daytime cruise if anything at... More

We booked the Moonlight and Monuments tour they featured through Groupon. We were visiting DC from Oregon so were looking for a relaxing way to see some city sights. We were a little concerned reading some of the reviews, but we had no issues. They had quite a list of passengers but check in for us was a little quicker... More

Beautiful, scenic cruise from Washington Marina on the Potomac along National Park and the Tidal Basin provided an incredible view of the cherry blossoms and so many D. C. attractions. We took a 90-minute cruise on The Pelican which accommodates 30 people during the cherry blossom event and we were lucky enough to have only 14 people onboard with plenty... More

They were very helpful in every way and listened to all my concerns regarding planning an office party for the first time, especially Chris and Deborah. They were both extremely easy to get a hold of and very friendly. The boat itself had a great speakeasy feel and great staff. We went in the winter, so it was cold, but... More

The company I work for rented the Virginia Jewel for to enjoy and celebrate our hard work and I have to say it was fun. The food was great and the views where very pretty. Capital Yacht Charters has some other bad reviews but for us they did a really good job. Thanks. More

We bought a ticket through Living Social (an $80 ticket, discounted to $40). The cruise along the Potomac was nice, however the food was terrible. The 'Beer & Brats Cruise' included tickets for several varieties of beer (all good); however the food was cold and mediocre at best. There was only one bratwurst and rest was a variety of mediocre...

We rented Unfinished Business for an after-graduation party for my roomate who had received his law degree earlier that day. The staff was extremely professional and accomodating. We booked the boat on Wednesday evening and had champagne and BBQ on Friday afternoon. Talk about flexibility. The cost was broken down over the phone by Chris so no unexpected expenses came... More

My family and I booked the "English High Tea" cruise, and for $65 per person, we were expecting a refined, sophisticated experience. However, we were SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED. Upon boarding, we were escorted to our table, which was a hodgepodge of paper napkins, cheap mints and mismatched china ranging from mugs, tea cups and demitasses to a teapot that had been... More

We took the "High Tea" along the Potomac with a large group of us and what a dissapointment it was. Definitely not worth the money, if you are looking for a fine dining experience. Very cheaply done with china that do not match or even mugs to have your High Tea. Sugar pouches that look used and picked up from... More
