The USS Potomac, President Roosevelt’s floating White House, is available for private charter throughout the year. Whether for an anniversary, wedding, reception, corporate event, retirement party, memorial cruise, or any other special occasion, the USS Potomac is a truly unique venue for any very special day.
You arrange your catering and, to assist, we can offer a preferred caterer list or you may provide your own as long as your vendor follows our catering guidelines in working on the ship. You may also self-cater subject to the rules, expectations, and guidelines that are set forth in our charter contract.
