I booked a rental for my mom’s bday. She had a ball! Boat was easy to drive for someone who’s never drove one. Just make sure you’re paying attention. Also Nick was great! Great experience overall :)

We drove in from out of town for a friend’s birthday, only to discover the boat we reserved—the Gladys—was unavailable. The staff waited until we were about to board to tell us it had been out of service “for a while,” dismissively adding, “Oh, I thought you knew.” Instead, we were given an boat that only allowed sitting (as apposed to The Gladys that allowed standing which would be better for us since we have allot of tall guys in our group), with a cracked and poorly secured windshield that made navigation troublesome. Customer service was promised to contact us while on the ride but never followed up, despite hours passing. When we requested a direct number, the associate hesitated to provide it and did so begrudgingly. Even after calling, no one returned our call. The entire experience felt careless and unprofessional, disrupting birthday plans and leaving us with a product different than what we paid for. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

We had a fantastic experience with Retro Boat Rentals last week. Charlie was there to greet us at the meeting point. We were 15 minutes early. He gave us a quick run down of the boat and off we went! The vintage electric boats was incredibly easy to operate, making for a calm and intimate cruise on the water. We were able to bring food and drinks which made it even better ! WiFi speakers was provided so we played our favorite tunes. The weather was perfect. Nice views of the wharf and a lovely sunset to end the ride. A truly unique and memorable experience! Highly recommend! Check out DC spot for promo code.
