The boat
New listing, discounted pricing available for August 2026! Amplify your fun in Colonial Beach by adding a boat day to your visit!
Fully customizable private boat tours from the heart of Colonial Beach for groups of up to 6, with a USCG-certified professional captain so you can relax and enjoy the ride.
Options include:
Idle quietly down Monroe Bay with your favorite beverage as the sun sets. • Cruise downriver to quiet beaches with the kids and search for prehistoric shark teeth. • Anchor and drop the jellyfish-safe pool behind the boat for a cool swim.* • Dive into early American history with a visit to St. Clement’s Island. • Pop across the river to Cobb Island for an amazing Maryland crab cake in... Maryland (see pix)! • Drop the hook and spend the afternoon fishing with the family. • Bring your clubs and take the boat across the river for a round of golf. • Or simply hop aboard, head out, and decide where the day takes you, as you get there.
(*Note that there is a $50 extra fee for deployment of the jellyfish pool as it needs to be cleaned and dried and returned to the boat after each use. Look for "Inflatable Toy" in Add Ons.)
Our captains know the area intimately — the waterways, the weather, and how to keep everyone safe — so you’ll be in good hands.
IMPT: Please share the ages and weights of any children under 13 in advance, as they must wear correctly sized life jackets throughout the cruise.
DOG: Well-behaved pups are permitted. Please bring a life jacket for your dog if they need one.
A cooler with ice is provided. BYOB
Bring your own snacks, or contact us in advance for food options. We can prepare a simple meal for you to enjoy aboard or help plan a serious clambake on the beach. With enough notice, the options are wide open!
Discuss pick up location with your captain, in advance. Typically we will pick up at the Colonial Beach Boat Ramp:
1696 Monroe Bay Ave, Colonial Beach, VA 22443
Smoking is not permitted under any circumstances. While drinking is allowed, cruises will be immediately terminated if anyone becomes unsafe.
Six passengers is the strict maximum, as determined by the USCG and the vessel capacity. No exceptions can be made. Sorry.
Please note that there is no toilet/head aboard. Use the restroom before departure, or plan to get wet if nature calls. :-)
Bring layers, hats, sunblock, towels, sunglasses, floats, and anything else you’ll want for a day on the water.
Fuel is included in your price!
As with any service profession, tipping is customary. Please take care of your captain! Thank you!!!

Hi. I’ve lived in the DC area for 16 years. I currently own a Glastron runabout that I pilot out of the Occoquan so I am familiar with the local waterways. I grew up in VA Beach owning a Grady White fishing boat. Since living in DC I’ve gotten my NASBLA boat safety certification and a sailing certification from Belle Haven Marina. Each year I rent boats at Smith Mountain Lake on vacation. I’m married with a daughter and live in Old Town Alexandria.
