Starting at $150 an hour, the group Float DC will let you rent one of its 18-foot boats for up to three hours, which comes with seating for eight people, a bluetooth audio system, a cooler, blankets, life vests for kids, and safety equipment. The boats cruise at an easy speed of five miles-per-hour, and anyone over the age of 21 with a valid driver’s license can operate them. The group also offers a one-day boater’s safety course.
