So much fun. It was super easy to book my 2 hr slot on the site. When I arrived at the pier, I called to let them know I was waiting and they came to get my group. The first 30 minutes or so was nerve wracking as you got accustomed to moving the boat where you want it to go. Then after that we were “pros”. Even my son drove the boat. We all had a great time and I would absolutely do this again.

It was great. The boat itself is relatively small compared to other boats but ut worked for us. The owner was very accommodating and worked with us to extend our time which was nice. We had a great time. Would recommend.

The young man who assisted us with information and help getting situated on our rental was amazing. It has been a while since I've encountered an employee who was so helpful while giving polite conversation and smiles. Float DC, you definitely have a keeper in our opinions. The boat ride was perfect, and I would highly recommend this business. Thanks for making our day special.
