Things to do in Washington DC, District of Columbia (DC): The Best Other Outdoor Activities
Washington DC is a hub for American politics and history. Attracting as many school field trips as it does travelers the district offers a peek into the country’s democratic origin. There are plenty of free museums to take advantage of but the real draw here is the memorials and monuments dedicated to great American leaders. Spend some contemplative time at the Reflecting Pool within the National Mall, among the most patriotic places in the country.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 71 reviews
The Boomerang Pirate Ship offers family fun treasure hunt cruises during the day, along with party pirate cruises at night for the 21+ crowd. Our vessel carries 84 passengers, a treasure chest full of loot, a full bar in the galley, and a large variety of music. We may run into a few scallywags along the way, so be prepared to man the lookout- or we might make you walk the plank!

The staff was just amazing. All the pirates were amazing, but one guy really stood out (above the already awesome staff). For the family pirate themed boat - the drinks are decently priced of $2 for a solo cup of coke, etc and free water is available within a cooler towards the back of the boat close to the bathrooms. I am not sure if the pirate who is driving a separate boat (speed boat) is always part of the pirate ship excursion. He was so amazing and interacted with the kids and let the water cannons blast him - the many times he went around our main pirate ship boat. This part was definitely a high light and impressed me with the original and interactive idea. I definitely would go again on this boat and hopefully have the same boat and crew as before.
