Potomac Riverboat Company

Potomac Riverboat Company at 3050 K Street NW operates from the Georgetown Harbour waterfront complex, providing the Potomac River cruises that give the Georgetown visitor and the Washington resident the experience of the capital city from the water perspective that the Potomac River provides. The Potomac Riverboat Company’s cruise routes from the Georgetown waterfront include the sightseeing cruise that carries passengers downstream past the Kennedy Center, the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, and the monuments of the National Mall waterfront, providing the view of Washington’s most significant public buildings from the river that their designers intended.

The Potomac River waterfront that Washington was built beside has been the city’s most significant natural feature since the original city plan placed the Capitol and the Washington Monument in relationship to the river’s geographic position. The L’Enfant plan’s organization of the city around the river and the mall that the riverfront development obscured in the mid-twentieth century urban renewal is most legible from the river itself, which the Potomac Riverboat Company’s cruise routes navigate.

The event cruise format that the Potomac Riverboat Company provides for the private event organizer gives the Georgetown corporate client, the wedding planner, and the special occasion organizer the river cruise as the Georgetown event venue: the chartered boat that carries the guests down the Potomac River past Washington’s monuments is the Georgetown special occasion that the land-based venues in the neighborhood cannot provide.

The Potomac Riverboat Company at 3050 K Street NW provides the Georgetown visitor and the Washington resident with the experience of the Potomac River from the water that the city’s waterfront position makes geographically central but that the urban development has made difficult to access for the non-boating visitor. The cruise boat on the Potomac River between Georgetown and the National Mall provides the specific experience of Washington from the water perspective that the viewing decks and the walking paths on the Mall cannot provide: the river-eye view of the monuments that L’Enfant planned to be visible from the water.

The event cruise format that the Potomac Riverboat Company provides for the private charter gives the Georgetown corporate event and the social occasion organizer the most distinctive event venue available from the Georgetown waterfront: the moving boat on the Potomac River provides the Georgetown event with the backdrop that no static venue in Georgetown can replicate.
