About Us

 

At Have Yachts Club, we believe time on the water should be more than a luxury—it should be a lifeline. Founded by John and his wife Latrice, this journey started with a simple pontoon on the Potomac and a shared vision: to create stress-free escapes where people can slow down, reconnect, and make unforgettable memories.

​

What began as a dream for our own family has grown into a mission for the community. We saw how hectic life in Washington, D.C. can be—deadlines, traffic, and constant noise—and we knew the river had the power to reset it all. Whether it’s a sunset cruise, a private celebration, or just a day to recharge, every charter is designed to give you peace, joy, and the freedom to live fully in the moment.

​

As we grow, we’re expanding beyond our first pontoon into a full fleet, but one thing will never change: our focus on people over profits. At Have Yachts Club, we want every guest to feel like family.
