Tour Story

Crafting unforgettable waterway experiences since 2008

Who We Ae
Rediscovering the Water's Edge

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."
