Cruise DC and turn heads aboard the vintage 1985 Chris Craft, American Pie
Highly recommend American Pie with Weston and crew! The boat is spacious, clean, and beautiful — the perfect way to take in the DC views along the Potomac. Anna was our captain, and she was absolutely awesome. We even took our engagement photos onboard and had the best time!

Cruise the Potomac On a Rinker 310
We rented Cindy’s boat for three hours and she did a great job explaining the differences between cruisers, cabin cruisers, and bowriders, plus gave us hands-on experience with fueling, pump-out, the controls, and a taste of the DC waterways. 🚤

Largest Pontoon Boat in DC🛥️
Farina’s boat was more beautiful in person than the photos! It was clean and spacious and super comfortable. Our captain Justin was GREAT! We highly recommend Darina’s pontoon.

Largest Pontoon Boat in DC🛥️
Highly recommended. That was a great brand new boat. This boat is perfect for the party on the water, there is enough space for a big company, by the way it is bigger than it looks on photos. Reservation process as well as check-in and check-out were easy and quick. Thanks Darina and captain Bruce for the nice day on the boat. We will definitely book it again.

18ft Bayliner - View the city from the water
It was my birthday and this was my first time renting a boat, and I couldn’t have had a better experience. Fernando went above and beyond. As I am new to boating, he took the time to teach me everything there is to know, he was patient, and we he made me feel much more comfortable with driving. I would definitely suggest renting from Fernando. His boat was also as expected, very nice, clean, and drove well. 10/10.

18ft Bayliner - View the city from the water
Wow, we had a great time renting a boat. It was so much fun to walk up, take our scheduled boat out with Fernando S., have a great time, see the sights a bit, drink our coffee, cruise, take turns at the helm, see the planes, helicopters, the defense area, the monuments, the marinas, etc. We will do this again. Thank you Fernando.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you rent a boat for a day?
Yes, you can rent a boat for a day with Getmyboat. You can also rent a boat by the hour, half-day, for multiple days, or any duration that owners set on their boat rental listings.
How much does it cost to rent a boat for a day?
The cost depends on the type of boat you want to rent. A pontoon boat rental can start as low as $200 a day and for something more luxurious like a motor yacht rental the cost can increase to $5,000 a day.
Do you need a boat license to rent a boat?
No, you do not need a license to rent a boat. With Getmyboat you can rent a boat that includes a licensed captain so that you can enjoy your time on the water. If you want to drive the boat yourself, depending on the specific location you will need to at the very least have a Boating Safety Certificate.
What kind of boats can I rent?
Depending on availability, you can rent anything from a pontoon boat to a motor yacht. Getmyboat has rental options for every type of boater. We have sailboats, wakeboarding boats, yachts, and party boats all for rent through our easy-to-use platform.
How can I rent a boat?
Renting a boat has never been easier thanks to Getmyboat. It’s simple, just search Getmyboat by the location you wish to visit, filter the boats based on type and group size, and submit a rental inquiry once you find a boat you like. Boat owners will respond with a custom offer and you can confirm and pay for the rental all through the website.
How long is a half-day boat rental?
Typically a half-day boat rental is any rental duration that lasts 4 hours. Boat owners usually like to split the day into two rentals, one in the morning for 4 hours and then a second for the later part of the day. Through Getmyboat you can specify what timeframe you would like to reserve and the owner will let you know if they can accommodate your rental times.
How does Getmyboat work for Renters?
Renting a boat is simple and quick with Getmyboat. You first search for the type of boat you would like to rent by location. You review the boats available for rent in that location and then submit a rental inquiry to the owner of the boat you want to rent. You specify the dates, group size, and duration of the rental. After you submit the inquiry, the owner will respond with a customized rental offer for you to review. Once you agree on the rental terms, you pay for the rental in full via credit card through Getmyboat to secure your rental reservation.
