You can savor 90-minute cruises that include views of landmarks like Georgetown University, the Kennedy Center, the Watergate Hotel, the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. There's also the Potomac Paddle Club , a rain-or-shine pedal boat that accommodates up to 16 people. The boat has 10 pedal stations, but there is also a motor so passengers are not required to pedal for its hour-and-a-half voyages if they prefer not to. Good to know: You can turn your aquatic spin class into a booze cruise with beers, seltzers, and canned cocktails available for purchase on board as well as the option to bring your own wine or champagne for a small uncorking fee.

Once cherry blossom season arrives , those in the nation’s capital can expect a flurry of excitement from both tourists and locals alike as folks search for the best ways to enjoy the iconic flowers and welcome warmer weather.
In this guide, WTOP rounds up a few of the ways to view the blossoms by water, whether that’s on a kayak, pedalboat, cruise or tiki boat. Come sail away!
Have brunch or a beverage during your cherry blossom tour
First up, City Experiences offers a large selection of cruises, but the cherry blossom-themed tours can be scheduled for enjoying brunch (from $90 for signature or $105 for premier ) to lunch (from $46 for signature or $80 for premier ) to dinner (from $91 for signature or $109 for premier ).
City Experience also offers a cherry blossom fireworks cruise option on April 6 during the Petalpalooza celebration (from $116 for signature or $170 for premier ).
For the most affordable cherry blossom tour from City Experiences, consider the 45-minute cherry blossom tour from Georgetown (from $27) or the cherry blossom water taxi (from $22).
From Capitol River Cruises , there is still availability during the cherry blossom peak bloom to take cherry blossom cruises. These cruises last approximately 45 minutes and include a refreshment bar (with additional charge). Boats travel along the Potomac River with sights like the Kennedy Center, Washington Monument, The Watergate Hotel and the Lincoln Memorial. Tickets start at $15 for children ages 3 to 12, $21 for seniors and military members and $25 for adults and those 13 and up.

Looking for a private view of the blossoms?
If in search of more private seaside experiences, The Jefferson Hotel and The Watergate Hotel are both offering hotel packages with bespoke boat tours themed for fans of cherry blossom. Those who stay at The Jefferson Hotel with the Blossoms by Boat package get to enjoy a myriad luxe perks, including a one-and-a-half-hour private boat tour with EmbarkDC for up-close views of the blossoms.
Those who enjoy this boat tour will also get gourmet bites for two created by Executive Chef Fabio Salvatore Bites, plus a Jefferson-branded blanket for the boat ride. This package must be booked 14 days prior to arrival with a two-night minimum stay at a Deluxe King or Suite guest room with a starting rate of $1,200 per night.
The Watergate Hotel’s Spring Charter package also allows guests to enjoy the Potomac River in a 90-minute private boat tour with views of the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and other local landmarks.
Ali Le, director of marketing at The Watergate Hotel, told WTOP that guests will also be provided a Polaroid camera to be able to capture the boat experience on film for keepsakes. Prices start at approximately $700 per night, and those who sign up for the Spring Charter package must book their stays in the hotel beginning March 15 and at least 14 days ahead of the boat tour.
“You’ll see it’s basically a really great historical tour. You’ll see an abundance of cherry blossoms all throughout,” said Le, who added that the boat can accommodate up to six people, but if necessary, it can be upgraded to a bigger boat for larger parties.
Float down the Potomac in your own tiki bar or hot tub
The Sea Suite Cruises’ Potomac Tiki Club tiki boat booze cruise is another unique way to set sails. All cruises come equipped with a captain and a dedicated bartender with drinks available for purchase on board. The company offers a Georgetown cruise starting at $45 per person with a group size between eight and 18. There is also the Tikito private tiki boat in Navy Yard, available for up to six passengers and starting at approximately $375 per boat.
If you’re ready to dip your toes into the water, consider the cherry blossom hot tub boat tours hosted by Sea the City. Only available for those ages 18 and over, this two-hour experience accommodates up to 20 people with up to 10 people able to fit in the hot tub. Prices start from $315.
Travel by kayak, pedalboat or yacht
Other ways to enjoy the cherry blossoms while traveling by water include REI Co-op’s kayak and paddleboard rentals at National Harbor (pricing varies by time frame and type of gear) as well as GoBoat’s boat rentals from The Wharf that can fit up to eight people (pricing for one boat varies by time frame). Nautiste also offers luxury dining experiences aboard private yachts with different options and pricing points depending on how many guests will be included.
Last but not least is Boating in D.C. , which offers some of the most affordable ways to enjoy the cherry blossoms on the Potomac River. For your next adventure on water, consider pedalboats at the Tidal Basin or kayaking or canoeing at The Wharf or Georgetown or the several other locations served by the company.

Murder charges for men accused of hijacking couple’s yacht in Caribbean
Three men who escaped from a jail in Grenada and allegedly hijacked the catamaran of a Virginia couple sailing in the Caribbean in February have been charged with counts including capital murder and rape, authorities in Grenada announced Thursday.
The escapees likely threw retirees Ralph Hendry, 66, and Kathleen Brandel, 70, off their boat as the 48-foot vessel sailed from Grenada to the neighboring nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, where the men were recaptured, authorities said previously.
A spokesman for the Royal Grenada Police Force said Thursday that the couples’ bodies have not been recovered and the search continues in the roughly 100-mile stretch of sea between the two Caribbean nations.
The three Grenadian men, Ron Mitchell, 30; Atiba Stanislaus, 25; and Trevon Robertson, 23, are each facing two counts of capital murder, kidnapping, escaping custody and other offenses. In addition, Stanislaus is facing one count of rape.
The three made their first court appearances Thursday and are being held in a Grenadian prison. They will have their next court appearance on Mar. 27. An attorney for the men could not be reached for comment.
Police in Grenada did not offer additional details about the charges. Relatives of Hendry and Brandel did not respond to a request for comment.
Authorities had said previously the three men escaped from a Grenadian jail on Feb. 18 after their arrests on various charges. Grenadian police said they have launched an internal investigation of how the men were able to escape.
After fleeing the jail, the men made their way to the couple’s catamaran, Simplicity, which was moored on a beach at the island nation. The couple was on board.
Junior Simmons, superintendent of the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force, said at a news conference in late February that “the suspects committed several criminal acts including bodily harm to the couple.” Don McKenzie, commissioner of the Grenada force, said at a separate news conference that it is believed the suspects “disposed of the occupants” on their way to St. Vincent.
The Salty Dawg Sailing Association, of which the couple were members, said in a statement that a sailor contacted the group on Feb. 21 to report the Simplicity was moored and abandoned off the south coast of St. Vincent. The skipper also notified the coast guard and police were alerted in turn.
After a manhunt, St. Vincent police recaptured the escapees the same day the boat was discovered.
The couple had sailed from Hampton, Va., to Antigua for a Salty Dawg boat rally in November and were spending the rest of the winter sailing in the eastern part of the Caribbean, according to the group. The couple lived on the boat and were seasoned sailors. Brandel had recently become a grandmother, according to a GoFundMe fundraiser for the couple’s family.
Simmons said that when investigators boarded the vessel, they found items strewn on the deck and in the cabin, and a red substance that appeared to be blood. The GoFundMe campaign organizer wrote that the catamaran had “chilling evidence of a violent struggle.”
Simmons said the escapees were cooperating with the investigation and pleaded guilty to immigration violations in a St. Vincent court. The three were extradited back to Grenada on Monday.
Nick Buro, a son of Brandel’s, and Bryan Hendry, a son of Hendry’s, said in a joint statement last month that the couple “lived a life that most of us can only dream of.”
“We live in a world that at times can be cruel, but it’s also a world of profound beauty, wonder, adventure, love, compassion, caring, and faith,” the statement said. “Our parents encompassed all those values and so much more. If we have learned anything from this tragic event, it’s that we know they left this world in a better place than it was before they were born.”
The statement said the couple made friends with “everyone they encountered, singing, dancing and laughing with friends and family.”
Robert Osborn, president of Salty Dawg, said the couple was on their first boat rally in Antigua with the group. He said the journey from the United States is not easy and that the sailors form a brotherhood on the way. He said the loss of the couple was a blow.
“It was like losing a member of the family,” Osborn said.

The crew was nice, food was decent but very heavy. For some reason, I think I am more of a fan of the appetizers. They were all delicious. The cruise I went on was open bar with top shelf liquor.
