Visit Club

Carefree Boat Club National Harbor
Members enjoy heading south for a very scenic boat ride on the Potomac between National Harbor club dock and Hampton's Landing in the Woodbridge Area.  It takes about 1 hour 45 minutes to go from dock to dock.  There is no speed limit on the Potomac from National Harbor to Woodbridge and you can cruise at 25-30 mph.  If using a reciprocal reservation though..... It is not possible to make that trip for the half-day 4 hour time slot allotted, so please don't attempt it.
If you'd like to instead view the city landscape and some monuments of Washington, DC from the Potomac River, then turning north and going under the Woodrow Wilson Bridge is also a great way to spend a few hours.  Call ahead to the Old Town Alexandria Marina to reserve a transient slip and enjoy brunch at Chart House then explore the Torpedo Factory Art Center at the waterfront or walk into the historic district for a quick bite and some shopping.  https://www.visitalexandriava.com/restaurants/waterfront-dining/
Another great place to explore is the Anacostia Waterfront, off of the Potomac.  Dock at the Yards Marina, located between the Washington Nationals baseball stadium and the Navy Yard, in one of their transient slips.  Choose from a variety of eclectic restaurants or pubs to eat or attend one of the family events and festivals.  https://www.theyardsdc.com/

Frequently Asked Questions

Carefree Boat Club National Harbor

What Is A Boat Club?

Carefree Boat Club is a private club. This means that our boats are only available to Members. We do not rent or charter our boats. Our members are the only ones with unlimited access to the fleet and they never pay a fee to use the boats.

How Soon Can I Get On The Water?

After joining, new members (without boating experience) can normally be boating within days of joining. If you have previous boat training, you can be on the water even sooner.

Are The Boats Well-Maintained?

Absolutely, in fact, all boats are inspected weekly by the CBC dock staff using a 50 point checklist of safety equipment, hull condition, electronics, and general mechanical items.

"Fall In Love With The Premier Boating Lifestyle"

"I joined Carefree a little over a year ago. My experience has been nothing short of excellent. I have enjoyed boating for years but was never the captain. When some life circumstances changed, I thought I would have to give up this relaxing pleasure. I was not ready to do that, so boating without owning was the perfect solution for me. The Carefree Boat Club instructors were patient and made sure that I was completely comfortable before going out on my own. The price is reasonable, and the extras that come membership are great!"

Paula C.

"This is our 3rd year at the Carefree Boat Club and we continue to thoroughly enjoy the experience. The concept works well for us, just make a reservation on-line and show up at the dock. The boats are new or nearly new, are always clean and ready to go. The staff are terrific people, they run the club like family. Always friendly, courteous, and accommodating to most any situation. They encourage you to get out there, help make it happen, and make the club experience very enjoyable."
