About National Harbor
Located just South of the Nation’s Capital off Interstate 95/495 on the Western shore of the Potomac River by the Woodrow Wilson Bridge is the first-class National Harbor entertainment and mixed-use resort – home to one of Freedom Boat Club’s newest locations.
From the National Harbor club, you’ll cruise the beautiful Potomac River and bask in the endless variety of sites and activities of Washington, DC and its surrounding destinations. Cruise South along the Potomac to George Washington’s famed Mount Vernon home and take in scenic shore lines. Travel up the River to Old Town Alexandria, VA or DC’s Wharf and Georgetown waterfronts for some exceptional dining, gallery tours and shopping. But no matter where you chart your adventure from this club, you’ll boat alongside famed monuments and civic treasures and an ever-changing landscape of fun and adventure of the Nation’s Capital.
Plus, your Freedom Boat Club location at National Harbor offers an abundance of dining options, national chain hotels, the Gaylord Convention Center and MGM Hotel and Casino, a year round concert series and brand name shopping.
Our boats are in the heart of National Harbor along the Capital Pier, adjacent to the community’s Capital Wheel, Carousel and outdoor amphitheater. Members and guests boating from this location will find numerous drop-off points along National Plaza and Waterfront Street. Parking and marina carts are located on the 6th Floor of the Mariner Garage. And, restrooms, WiFi and shower facilities are found in the marina lounge at 168 National Plaza, Oxon Hill, MD.

"If you're into boats and being on the water, Freedom Boat Club is the best way to do it!!"
"The customer service is bar none, incredibly responsive with reservations and requests. The boats are pristine, another factor FBC's competition just can't hold a candle to. I have entertained family/friends on the sun deck and clients on the center console."
