Etiquette Cruises, LLC was founded on a simple but powerful belief — that the water has a unique ability to restore, reconnect and rejuvenate the human spirit. Since opening our doors in 2008, we have grown from a humble operation into one of the most trusted private yacht charter services on the Potomac River.
Our journey began with a single yacht and a vision: to provide the DC community with an experience that rivals anything offered across the country. Over fifteen years later, we continue to deliver on that promise — with the same passion, the same dedication, and the same love for the water that started it all.
"Rediscovering the water can bring many emotions to the surface — peace and tranquility being just a few, especially after a stressful day or when you truly need a vacation."
Every cruise we operate is guided by a set of principles that have shaped our reputation and kept our customers returning year after year.
From the moment you book to the moment you step off the dock, every interaction is handled with warmth, professionalism and genuine care for your experience.
We launched our first private yacht charter service on the Potomac River with a single vessel and a bold vision to serve the DC community.
Growing demand led us to expand our fleet and introduce signature packages including the now-iconic Moonlight & Roses romantic cruise.
We launched dedicated corporate retreat packages and guided fishing charters, opening our doors to businesses and fishing enthusiasts along the Potomac.
