Be You Charters offers an upscale waterfront experience aboard their 45-foot "LAVISH" yacht, operating out of Washington DC’s scenic waterfront near Pier W at 650 Wharf Street, S.W. This elegant vessel blends the thrill of boat travel with the comforts of a contemporary lounge, creating an ideal setting for groups gathering for celebrations, corporate events, or simply memorable hours on the water. Designed to accommodate up to twelve guests comfortably, "LAVISH" features a spacious open-air deck perfect for taking in panoramic 180° views of the Potomac River and the iconic city skyline, while the below-deck cabin houses eleven seats, a guest restroom, and modern amenities including a Bluetooth speaker system and refrigerator.
What sets Be You Charters apart in the competitive DC outdoor recreation scene is the yacht’s combination of luxury and accessibility. Unlike typical sightseeing boats that accommodate dozens but offer little privacy or comfort, "LAVISH" invites small groups to engage intimately with Washington’s waterfront—from historic sites like the Georgetown waterfront and the Kennedy Center to the natural beauty of the tidal riverbanks lined with bald cypress and herons. Whether you're dancing under the open sky, hosting a cocktail party, or cruising at sunset, the carefully designed layout frees up space for socializing without crowding.
This charter service complements the region’s thriving outdoor adventure landscape by balancing river-based relaxation with easy access to one of the nation’s most storied cities. Beyond the vibrant city views, the Potomac River provides unique ecology and a rare urban wildlife corridor where osprey and turtles thrive. The charter’s focus on comfort, group sizes, and modern conveniences appeals to anyone keen on combining urban exploration with a premium, waterside adventure.
Be You Charters is a standout for travelers visiting Washington DC who want a private, stylish way to experience the city from the water. Whether for a few hours or a half-day journey, "LAVISH" delivers an escape from the bustle with a fresh perspective, making any outing feel like an exclusive event on the Potomac.
