The 4 Best Sailing Trips in Washington DC

1.Potomac River Yacht Cruise with Open Bar

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 89 reviews · 2 hours · from $74Our pick

Review of DC’s two-hour Potomac yacht cruise with premium open bar, DJ music, city views, snacks, costs, tips, and who should book.

“Disappointed in the “meet up” location. Not sure why it wouldn’t just say to meet at the boat as opposed to across the street in front of the random movie theater. A guide never showed there so we did go back to the boat where they were waiting to show our tickets. Ultimately we had a nice time. The staff were wonderful. A bit costly if you’re not really a drinker but if you are totally worth it.”

2.Sailboat Cruise on Chesapeake Bay

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 38 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $102Top rated

Sail Chesapeake Bay aboard the 42-foot Eternal Hope, with small-group sailing, Calvert Cliffs, wildlife, and calm coastal views.

“We could not have picked a more perfect day to go sailing with Captain Andy and First Mate Stephanie. My friends and I had a wonderful and memorable Sunday on the Chesapeake. Andy and Stephanie felt like they were part of our group and we had the best time talking about the history of the area, as my friends and I grew up in the DC/MD area. The winds were light and the waves were calm. It was the most perfect way to relax and enjoy some good company.”
