Key Bridge Boathouse

In Washington, DC, Key Bridge Boathouse provides boat rentals focused on kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding from its Water Street waterfront base beneath Key Bridge. Paddlers can explore the Potomac River between Chain Bridge and Memorial Bridge, passing the Georgetown Waterfront, Roosevelt Island, and Lincoln Memorial or heading upriver toward the C&O Canal. Before arriving for a rental, every participant completes an online waiver, helping groups get ready to launch from the dock.

The boathouse supports a relaxed day on the water with lockers, changing tents, snacks and beverages, reservable picnic tables, and dog-friendly access with dog life jackets. Fishing is allowed from boats, while private storage and dock launching are available for personal non-motorized equipment. Guests can also choose kayaking classes, special paddles, or event space for groups. Contact Key Bridge Boathouse to plan your next paddle.
