ABOUT

72' of gleaming brass and polished mahogany, yacht is a magnificent example of a custom mid-century motor yacht. This was the first ever yacht built in what became the “Sis W” style for the Walgreen family by the shipwrights at Burger Boat Company - American luxury yacht manufacturers since 1863.

With her spacious staterooms and lounge areas above and below decks, yacht is a perfect venue for cruising groups of up to 12 guests, or for a private dockside reception for up to 30 guests.

SAMPLE ITINERARY

Your 4-hour cruise experience will begin at 6pm on the Washington Channel to see the full length of DC's newly revitalized southwest waterfront. You'll then cruise down the Potomac passing Old Town Alexandria, and be the envy of airline passengers taking wing at Reagan Airport before reaching National Harbor. You'll see the Capitol Ferris Wheel alight before cruising back to Hains Point for sunset and up the Anacostia river to see DC's city lights framed by the illuminated Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge... the US capitol building aglow in the distance. Finally, you'll return to DC's southwest waterfront via the Washington Channel, now alight and glittering in the night, the Washington Monument aglow as you return to the slip.
