American Spirit
Charters
Bring your crew back to the Age of Sail! Our schooner may be chartered in the evening throughout the week and any time of day on the weekends up until October 13th. Wine and cheese parties are a favorite! Kids (and adults) can “heave-ho” the lines to raise sails and steer the vessel. Departure is from Gangplank Marina, at 600 Water Street, SW, Washington DC. (3 blocks from Waterfront Station).
Private charters last three hours for a group of up to 35 people. Soft drinks will be provided and guests are welcome to bring their own beer, white wine and food. Catering options are also available from Philip's Seafood.
