1961 Burger Motor Yacht – 72’
“Patriot” is a magnificent example of a custom mid-century motor yacht. Since 1863, Burger Boat Company has been the oldest and most respected custom luxury yacht builder in America. Step back in time when cruising aboard “Patriot”, originally built as “Sis W” for the Walgreen family in the exquisite Jack Hargrave design. Woodwork is Honduran mahogany, birds eye maple, and black lacquered highlights, with teak and holly floors throughout. Ample indoor and outdoor space for social distancing while relaxing or entertaining on the cockpit, large deck, the spacious fly bridge or in one of two temperature-controlled salons. “Patriot” was refitted in 1993, 2003, and 2021.

INDEPENDENCE
1976 Bruno & Stillman Down East Yacht – 42’
“Independence” is a particularly elegant version of the classic Bruno & Stillman 42’ downeast motor yacht. Designed by renowned naval architect Royal Lowell, the Bruno & Stillman 42’ is considered one of the finest examples of the downeast style and can be seen in harbors throughout New England on both working fishing vessels and pleasure craft. Bruno & Stillman produced over 400 comparable boats in the early 1970s and was the leading provider of this type of boat, the authentic predecessor to the modern versions we see from Hinckley and Sabre. Independence was launched in 1976, the bicentennial anniversary of American independence, and features extensive brightwork of varnished mahogany and an extended refinished salon for a luxury cruising experience.

Our recommendation is to take public transit, walk, or take a scooter or bicycle if you have the option.
Located about a ten minute walk from the Smithsonian Castle or from the Jefferson Memorial, the Wharf area is fairly accessible. It's a great place for lunch after our morning National Mall and Tidal Basin tour.
There is the Southwest Shuttle which runs daily from L’Enfant Plaza to the National Mall, to near the Spy Museum , and then to two locations along the Wharf.
SOUTHWEST SHUTTLE HOURS
Monday–Thursday: 6:30am–8:30pm Friday: 6:30am–10:30pm Saturday: 9:30am–10:30pm Sunday: 9:30am–8:30pm
If you take Metro, the Smithsonian, L’Enfant Plaza, and Waterfront stations are all within about a ten minute walk of the Wharf.
With ever increasing protected bike lanes, cycling is getting safer and more convenient in Washington D.C. There is a path that parallels the Wharf, and you can find some areas to park and lock your bike. There are also multiple Capital Bikeshare docks at or near the Wharf, if you choose to use that service.
In the warmer months, you can even visit the Wharf by a water taxi that goes between Georgetown, Alexandria, National Harbor, and the Wharf.
If you are driving, there is garage parking at the Wharf as well as at the nearby L’Enfant Plaza. We suggest reserving a spot in advance via the SpotHero parking service.

The International Spy Museum
Between the National Mall and the Wharf, just above L’Enfant Plaza, stands The International Spy Museum. The unique building houses an equally unique museum that has become a favorite of visitors and locals.
Read more about the International Spy Museum...
Titanic Memorial
A memorial dedicated to the men who gave up their lives so that women and children could be saved during the Titanic disaster, this granite statue was moved to its current home near the Wharf when the Kennedy Center was built.
Art, technology, and cocktails. That sounds pretty D.C. to me. You can read more about this museum on our ARTECHOUSE page.
Rubell Museum
One of the world’s largest private collections of contemporary art is only a few blocks from the Wharf. (If you’re a DC resident, you can visit for free!)

A look at the most expensive superyachts at the Palm Beach yacht show and their insane features, from basketball courts on deck to ice baths and saunas
- The Palm Beach International Boat Show kicks off later this week.
- Eight megayachts are expected to be on display for would-be buyers and charter customers.
- These are the show's biggest yachts — and how many millions of dollars they are going for.
The Palm Beach International Boat Show — the yacht world's flashiest event stateside — is returning this year with over 800 boats for both deep-pocketed potential owners and window shoppers to peruse.
While it's impossible to know what exactly will be on display until the show begins on Thursday, it's expected that eight megayachts — generally defined as ships over 60 meters long — will be docked at the show and at nearby marinas like the Rybovich Marina in the ritzy Florida town.
Some of these are for sale at eye-popping prices, but others are available to if in case you fancy living like a billionaire for a week or two this summer (and if you have six figures to spare on a vacation).
These are the eight biggest yachts that will be at the Palm Beach International Boat Show and nearby marinas, in size order.
Nero: 90.1 meters
Price: From $497,000 a week (charter) Standout features: Pizza ovens, beauty salon, massage room, resistance pool
Reportedly owned by Irish billionaire Denis O'Brien, Nero is modeled after J.P. Morgan's 1930s ship , and was built in 2007 and updated in 2021.
She now boasts a gym on her sundeck with multiple cardio machines and a beauty salon, and has an on-board beautician for manicure, pedicure, hair, and massage needs. There's also an upgraded movie theater, two new pizza ovens, and both a pool and a jacuzzi.
For those who want to go overboard, she has more than a dozen toys, including a waterslide, Jet Ski, and flyboard.
Victorious: 85 meters
Price: From $876,600 a week in the summer and $950,000 a week in the winter Standout features: Hammam (Turkish bath), wine cellar, wood-burning fireplace, children's playroom
Victorious brings a party vibe to the yacht show. With a beach club on board, a wine cellar, a cigar clubroom , multiple bars, and a lounge with a piano, the vessel is made for entertaining. Plus, there's a playroom and movie theater to entertain the kids.
For tamer charter clients, Victorious has a suite of wellness features such as a gym, massage room, beauty salon and hammam, or Turkish bath — perhaps a custom request of her owner, Turkish businessman Vural Ak.
She also boasts a treasure trove of water toys, including Jet Skis, jetsurfs, inflatable kayaks, and scuba equipment.
Casino Royale: 72 meters
Price: TBD Special Features: Infinity pool, helipad, private jacuzzi
Purchased and refitted by car dealer magnate John Staluppi last year, Casino Royale is the latest of his James Bond-inspired yachts (he's also owned an Octopussy and a Skyfall, among others).
Casino Royale has a helipad that turns into a dancefloor, an infinity pool, and a wellness center with a gym and sauna. The owner's cabin has its own deck, which features a private bar and jacuzzi.
Related stories
However, the boat's price isn't listed, and while she's not necessarily officially for sale, that might change depending on who's prepared to buy, Mr. Bond.
Talisman C: 70.6 meters
Price: $60 million (or from $567,000 a week to charter) Special features: Massage and beauty room, private library
Likely the largest yacht for sale (not just charter) at the show, the Talisman C is a 2011 six-bedroom boat. The owner's cabin comes with an en suite bathroom, dressing room, private library, and crystal chandeliers.
Amenities include a gym, a beauty room, oversized jacuzzi, and a fully equipped bar. Her crew of 19 includes a trained masseuse, and the toy room comes equipped with a wakeboard, eFoil , and WaveRunners.
Joy: 70 meters
Price: From $650,000 a week Special features: Disco club, basketball court, onboard fitness instructor
Superyacht Joy testifies to the fact that owners want as many on-board experiences as they can get.
There's an expansive suite of fitness features, including a basketball court (don't shoot that hoop too hard!), a personal trainer on staff, boxing equipment, and a handful of machines. For post-workout winddowns, there's a spa with a steam room and onboard masseuse. And for entertainment, there's both an outdoor and indoor cinema, and a disco club.
Triumph: 65.4 meters
Price: From $707,600 a week in the summer and $650,000 a week in the winter Special features: Sauna, helipad, banana boat
This 2021 superyacht is named after Triumph motorcycles — a reported favorite of her rumored owner, British businessman Chris Dawson — and even has one on display as an art piece in the upper deck's lounge. The primary suite is 1,400 square feet and has its own study , and there's a sauna, an indoor-outdoor gym, a helipad, and a massage room spread among her six decks.
She boasts an "armada of water toys," including two kinds of Jet Skis, electric water bikes, and a banana boat.
Seanna: 64.5 meters
Price: $54,000,000 (or from $462,000 a week to charter) Special features: marble foyer, movie room, sundeck pool
The recently refurbished Seanna is available for sale and charter.
Her indoor-outdoor gym is on sea level so that passengers can take a dip after a session with the onboard personal trainer. There's also a sundeck pool, a helipad, a two-room massage facility, and, for the more cerebral guests, a library with an electric fireplace.
There are a number of toys on board, including a popular water trampoline and two WaveRunners.
Come Together: 60 meters
Price: $65,000,000 Special Features: DJ and videographer on board, ice bath, sauna
Next-to-new yacht Come Together is looking for a new owner after doing charters during the 2023 season.
The Beatles' influence is evident beyond the yacht's name, with guitars dotting the sky lounge and a crewmember who doubles as a DJ. There's also an outdoor cinema and bar for entertainment and an ice bath and sauna for the day after the party. The owner's suite has a private study and lounge, and each guest cabin has its own ensuite.
The sale includes a number of toys, like Jet Skis, kayaks, and Seabobs.

DC’s e-bike voucher program is set to begin April 1
W ASHINGTON ( DC News Now ) — Certain D.C. citizens can apply to receive a voucher that will dramatically reduce the cost to purchase an e-bike starting April 1.
The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will accept applications from preferred applicants on April 1 up until April 15. This is part of the District’s new e-bike incentive program.
DDOT expects to hand out 250 vouchers to this round of applicants.
Back in September, the D.C. Council unanimously approved the incentive, and the program was given $500,000. If there are remaining funds, another application window will open for the rest of the public.
Ward 6 councilmember Charles Allen introduced the measure in January of last year. The incentive program aims to bridge barriers in access to sustainable modes of transportation, which can be costly, in underprivileged communities.
“The fact that we’re doing it with equity front and center will also ensure more residents are able to take advantage of, and demand, improved infrastructure to get from point A to point B safely in neighborhoods that have historically experienced disinvestment,” Allen said in a statement.
This is why the incentive program is only open to preferred applicants for the moment. Applicants must be enrolled in SNAP, TANF, Medicaid or DC Healthcare Alliance to be considered as preferred applicants. They must also be District residents over 18 years old with an intent to purchase an eligible bicycle-bike, related service or accessory after approval to be eligible.
The DDOT has authorized 12 local retailers where recipients can use their vouchers.
This chart outlines the monetary differences in vouchers between preferred and standard applicants:
This legislation is following the lead of Denver’s trailblazing rebate policy which has been expanded since its initial adoption in 2022. Colorado introduced a statewide policy last August, and nine other states have passed similar tax incentives and rebates for e-bikes.
Allen acknowledges that most rebates take away purchasing power, by giving reimbursement later. So, the bill authorized the DDOT to hand out vouchers instead which can be used upfront.
“The bill authorizes DDOT to create a voucher system that would allow applicants to receive the value of the voucher as a discount when they purchase the bike at the store, with the District then reimbursing the retailer directly,” a statement released by Allen said. “This point-of-sale incentive ensures that cost isn’t a barrier for residents who can’t afford the full cost of an e-bike upfront.”
Lawmakers hope this incentive will usher in an era of sustainable transportation- and reduce the flow of traffic in the District, a source of complaint among many residents who worry about pedestrian safety and long commutes.
When Ward 2 Councilmember Brooke Pinto introduced her own form of e-bike legislation last January, which was eventually struck down in favor of Allen’s bill, she commented on the benefits of reducing traffic.
“Reductions in traffic congestion and pollution mean we all benefit from getting more residents onto bikes – the rebate program provides an additional opportunity and incentive for residents to make this choice,” Pinto said in a statement.
Applications can be submitted online or in person through one of the pop-up events hosted by the DDOT across the District.
A full list of the events can be found on the DDOT’s website.
