A wide variety of dining, shopping, and entertainment options for visitors to enjoy are just steps away. Wharf Cove is open from 8 a.m. until midnight.
Nearby are the Market Docks, which offer more than 40 slips for hourly visits and dockage up to two weeks, the 309-slip Wharf Gangplank Marina, and the Capital Yacht Club.
At noon on May 19, The Wharf, in partnership with the Port of Washington Yacht Club and craft brewery DC Brau, will present a blessing of the fleet party. Boats will parade by the Dockmaster Building on the Washington Channel and receive a blessing from DC pastors. Guests are invited to watch then keep the party going with cold margaritas at Cantina Bambina on Transit Pier. Register your boat for the Port of Washington Yacht Club’s 43rd annual blessing of the fleet here.
