UPDATE #3: If you are unable to secure a spot on the boat, you have the option of "flying standby." There were 10 no-shows for our last boat cruise, so you just *might* be able to get on board. Make sure to come early with exact cash. Also...

Remember to TIP YOUR BARTENDERS! We have recruited 2 phenomenal bartenders to help us, who could be working elsewhere tonight, so please make sure you show your appreciation!

UPDATE #2: Please plan on arriving at the marina by 8:30 pm. The boat will pull out of the dock at 9:00 pm SHARP and will not come back for you! People have been left before so please plan accordingly. Again, dress code is formal/business attire. It's a cocktail party so look good!

UPDATE #1: This is a reminder the early bird special will end THIS Friday, Oct 2nd. To be fair to those who want to join in and are ready to make payment, I'll be unrsvp'ing those that haven't paid by Monday, Sept 28th. So make payment to *truly* lock in your spot... and for any new rsvp's, please make payment immediately.

We're doing it again!! Ladies put on your best dress, gentleman break out the nice threads. I've reserved a fancy double decker vessel for us, and made special arrangements with a captain and crew to take us down the Potomac for a 3 hour cruise / cocktail party! Not only that:

* We get OPEN BAR... to include wine, mixed drinks, and beer
* We get appetizer food... such as shrimp cocktail, meats and cheese, sandwich wraps, etc.
* We get our own DJ spinning lively beats to get us dancing
* We get a great view of Washington DC's skyline as we cruise down the Potomac

YES... being on the water, open bar, food, warm weather, fancy clothes, music, new and old faces, dancing... can it get any better?

We did this earlier this summer, and it was a blast. And just like before, cocktail attire will be required... so come and look gooood!

We've got an early bird special for this event. From now until Oct 2nd, the ticket price is only $45. After that it will go up to $55. Secure your slot by rsvp'ing yes AND making payment!

So come join us, tell your friends, and let's have a great night cruising down the Potomac, and seeing you all "dressed to impress!" =)

We will be leaving out of Old Town Alexandria. There is a marina there by the Torpedo Factory. The closest metro stop is King Street Metro (blue line). There is a free trolley that will pick you up from the metro and take you to the marina at the end of King St. We suggest using www.wmata.com for metro travel. The boat will leave PROMPTLY at 9pm and return at midnight. So please arrive by 8:30pm so we don't leave without you!

Since we've paid in advance for this charter, and since there are limited seats, all sales are final. Hopefully you understand we can't have people cancelling and requesting a refund, when that spot could have been filled by others. Thanks for understanding. =)

    Shame I have only done boat cruise two times in my life, and I always love boat cruises. Or, anything to do with river, ocean, boats, as well as fishing :) I could spend all day on the waters. It was too short, but very fun! :D This definitely should be done often, am I right? Yeah, it was awesome to chill out with you guys last night.

    Hi, this is our first time attending, but we plan on riding the metro from the shady grove station. We live very close to Shady grove, so our plan was to leave on the 7 or 7:15 train.

    Dolci - It's located across from the metro, just walk to the bus stop. There will be a sign for the King Street Trolley. It looks like a trolley. I believe it runs every 15 min.

    Anyone else riding the metro to King Street want to meet up and ride the trolley together?
  • Dolci Morgan

    Jared & J.T. - Can you tell us more about the free trolley that will take us to the marina? What does it look like, where is it located, and what time will it be there? I'm definitely riding the metro. :] Thanks!

    Jennifer - There is a parking garage on North Union St. across from the Torpedo Factory. I believe it is $10. We are sold out right but we always have no-shows so it's possible your friend may be able to buy a ticket and get on.
  • Posted Oct 7, 2009 5:14 PM
    I've got 3 questions. Is there ample parking at the marina if we decide to drive? Do u have to pay to park? and if I have a guest who'd like to come will she have to be waitlisted ? =)

    Kathlin - It is a long walk from the metro. There is a free trolley that will take you to the marina at the end of King St. Or I suggest getting a cab from the metro. See you there! Jared

    •  This was my first meet up. I think it was great. Great food (even pealed shrimp), DJ, and the water. I believe it was very resonibly priced and exactly what i was looking for. Everyone was very friendly and i def meet some fun interesting people. I think it was well organized (everything went on time). Only negative comment i have is that the beer ran out early as well as ice for mix drinks about 11:15. I would be willing to pay more money next time for more booze and more ice. I def would rate this is a possitive experience and would be def down to do it again as soon as it is organized by your guys. 
    •  This was such a good time.

       Ain't no party like a booze cruise party!! Met some great people and had a lot of fun dancing. GOOD TIMES!! 
    •  The boat was a bit of a surprise. I've never been on a boat cruise/cocktail party, so I was expecting something a little different. It was fun though. Great group of people, drinking and cruising the up and down the river. 
    • 20s & 30s Partystarter!
       great idea! great execution! plenty of food. plenty of booze. plenty of good looking ppl! 
    • Kathlin (+2 guests)
       It was an incredibly fun time. This was my first meetup event and everyone seemed to be having as great a time as I was. I met a bunch of new and nice people. Very fun time! 
    • David (+1 guest)
       Great time! 
    •  Red Headed Sluts topped off my evening as I worked on my 12 step program of becoming an Old Town drunk ;)

       It's tough to come all the way from Richmond, but the boat cruise was something I always wanted to do more. It was very cool I certainly had no regrets at all coming. The music was Jamming, and the food and drink was good. I met many guys and girls but of course 3 hours still isn't enough to get to know someone for good. Hopefully, I will come back and start making some friends. :) 
    •  Good times had by all! And thankfully, not too many people were texting along the sides of the boat decks. Hats off to the bartenders and thanks again! 
    •  Great view, but I still feel like asking for my money back.
