Private boat charters offer a unique and memorable experience for groups of all sizes. Whether you’re looking to celebrate a special occasion or simply want to enjoy a day on the water, a private charter is a great option. Boomerang Boat Tours offers a variety of boats to choose from, so you can find the perfect vessel for your needs. Many charters also include additional amenities, such as open bars and entertainment options. You can also customize your trip to create the perfect experience for your group. Private boat charters are a great way to enjoy the water with family and friends.

But with so many companies to choose from, it can be difficult to know how to pick the right one. Below are a few things to keep in mind when considering your private boat charter options.

What kind of experience are you looking for?

One of the first things you’ll want to consider is how exactly you and your party will be spending your time aboard the boat. Are you here to view cherry blossoms or fall leaves? Is this a business meeting in a unique location? Or is it a party with cocktails and great music? It is important to find a company that can accommodate the kind of experience you are hoping to have on the water.

While some boat companies only cater to some of these, Boomerang Boat Tours is far more flexible. Whether you’re planning an exciting bachelorette party or a subdued meeting with a potential business client, we are able to meet your needs.

What size boat do you need?

Another important aspect to keep in mind is what size boat you need. While you can of course charter a large boat for a few people, you can run into trouble when doing the opposite. If you have a large group, it is essential to make sure that the boats you’re considering are able to accommodate the number of people who may show up.

At Boomerang Boat Tours, we have an 80-passenger boat, an 84-passenger pirate ship, and a 125-passenger yacht, so we are able to host large parties without a problem!

What is your budget?

Finally, don’t forget to ask about the price. Boat charters can be costly, so be sure to get an estimate from each company you’re considering before making your final decision. When comparing your budget, be sure to take into consideration what each boat charter company includes in their packages. For example, is dinner included, or perhaps a DJ? If not, are those available at an additional cost? Can you save some money by bringing in outside catering, or does the company forbid that?

Boomerang Boat Tours puts a focus on being budget-friendly, because we want everyone to be able to enjoy the Potomac the way we do!

What amenities do you need?

Tied in with the budget question is this — what amenities does the boat charter company offer? Do they offer catering, or allow for outside catering to be brought in? Do they offer a DJ, or a sound system for your DJ to hook into? Are open or closed bars an option? What about snacks? Be sure you have a good grasp on what is being offered before you finalize your plans.
