Such a GREAT location to visit DC!! Marina staff was terrific. Right on The Wharf with amazing restaurants and bars. Very secure marina with lovely facilities. Marina restaurant was delicious. Highly recommend.

Capital Yacht Club is a private club that will accept transients for short stay if a cruising member's slip is open. If you are lucky enough to find an available slip you will be perfectly positioned to enjoy your visit to the nation's Capitol while enjoying the amenities and security of a premier private yacht club. Enter the Washington Channel between Haines Point and Fort McNair north of Green "11" and continue up the channel approximately 1.5 miles to the marina which is just beyond the Wharf Marina. The docks at both the Wharf and Capital Yacht clubs are well marked. The docks belonging to the Capital Yacht Club are "A", "B", and "C". Slips are also clearly marked. There will be someone from the club on the dock to assist you with line handling. Armani and David assisted us and were helpful, friendly, and professional. Slips are single bay (finger docks on both sides of the slip) so you will have a choice as which side you wish to tie up. Power and water are dedicated to each slip and have no issues. Docks are floating concrete so set your fenders to low level. There is no current flowing through the channel. Depth at the dock is over 20 feet. As you are now guests at a private club you will be given security keys, a list of club rules, and will be granted access to the club amenities. The amenities include immaculate bath/showers, a laundry room with five sets of washer/dryers ($1.75 per wash or dry, coins or credit cards), a wonderful Captain's lounge with cooking facilities, a conference/library room, a full restaurant/bar, bike racks, a workout area, and more. In slip pump outs can be scheduled. Yacht club Wi-Fi is adequate but as you are in downtown DC, cellular reception is excellent. The club is dog friendly. The lovely Southwest Waterfront Park is 4/10ths of a mile south along the promenade. The Capital Yacht Club sits in the middle of the newly renovated Wharf area of Southwest Washington. Quite literally outside the front gate to the club there is a mile long promenade with shops, restaurants, boutiques, and other stores (more restaurants and shops coming soon in the newer buildings). Grocery and drug stores are a half mile away as is an Enterprise Rent-a-Car location. The National Mall is about a mile and a half walk or, if you prefer, you can take the free District Wharf SW Neighborhood Shuttle (bus stop 350 feet from clubhouse in front of CVS) and the DC Circulator to visit almost all points of interest all the way out to Arlington National Cemetery. Both shuttle bus systems have online tracking. The DC Metro system can be reached by taking the SW Neighborhood Shuttle to L'Enfant Plaza. As a place to base your stay in Washington DC, you cannot do better than this. We were recognized as guests by the members and felt that we were warmly welcomed at their wonderful club. While $3.00 per foot may seem high, one has to remember that a room at one of the hotels in the area will start at $300 per night.

The friendliest marina we've stayed at. Everyone was extremely welcoming. The facility is incredible and the location is even better with lots to walk to and do. We had the best 4th of July experience we could have ever imagined.

Excellent updated facility and location adjacent to The Wharf and waterfront restaurants. Floating docks. Current charge $3 per ft.. Excellent WiFi.. Walking distance to Capital Mall/Washington Monument. Metro and Safeway 0.4 miles. CVS 1 block away. Friendly, helpful staff and members.. Club's upper deck bar and restaurant open Thur, Fri, Sat and available to transients. Great food and very reasonably priced.. Pass card security. Pump out at slip. Recycling. Large laundry facility takes coins or credit card. Can be noisy at times during day due to large helicopter and airplane flight paths over river. Wish we had the time to stay longer!
