I was debating whether to post this thread in the travel section or in the game forum but decided game was more appropriate, though this thread is location dependent.
Guys, as we all know Washington, DC is a tough place for players in North America, right behind Toronto, and I will be the first to admit that approaching here is an unpleasant chore. As I’ve gotten older bars & clubs have exhausted their appeal. So, unique and creative ways need to be utilized to maximize one’s game, especially when it comes to quality (finding women here above an 8 is an exercise in frustration).
A topic that hasn’t been covered enough in these forums and only alluded to by some of the Florida members is boat game, I am specifically referring to boat game in Washington, DC which is an uptight city, with mediocre weather (one can only enjoy their boat comfortably on the Potomac from May – September), strict regulations (can’t dock your boat in some of the docks after 12am, Park Police patrolling docks all the time and having basically zero tolerance for public drinking/partying), and too few and overpriced Marina’s however for those players who have the money and want visibility it beats just about any club in the summer time. One can run day-game/night-game/tourist game/millionaire-game simultaneously on their boat.
We already know that DC’s most successful billionaire bachelor, Michael Saylor, does this to full extent and I have friends who have been and raved about his boat parties. One can pass by his boats ( Moksha / Firefly; both worth several million) parked in Georgetown just about any weekend night in the summer time and see dozens of “stripper shoes” placed in nice rows beside the boat.

Fortunately even for us “small potatoes” we can benefit from it and don’t need a large crew to run this. One does not have to be ultra-rich so I had a chance this past summer to do a partial investment in a friends 34ft powerboat (we wanted to make sure the boat had enough space for at least 10 or so people to party comfortably, space to live if need be, modern conveniences such as top of the line A/V entertainment system, bathroom and kitchen, and for performance and maneuverability twin engines and last but not least high enough to be level with the Georgetown Waterfront dock for added visibility and ease of access for guests). For the price of a new 3-series BMW we had one of the best boats in DC water and almost every time we took it out for a spin we were getting girls taking photo’s and trying to get on board with very minimal effort.

As boat guys know, logistics in DC can be very hard as both Georgetown and to a lesser extent National harbor don’t have much space by their docks so “the early bird get’s the worm”. One certainly does not want to be the last guy docked at the end of the line so docking early in the day and being visible and next to the bars is extremely important.

From there you can just chill on the boat, drinking/socializing/listening to music and just holla at the girls passing by.If it was early in the day or the weather didn’t cooperate we would take our act to the nearby bars and just post up at Sequoias outdoor bar or Tony & Joes within view of our boat…”we are having a party on our boat, wanna join us for a drink” went surprisingly well. Technically this line is about the same as inviting a girl back to your place for a drink on the first meet-up though it is much more reliable as the girls guard is down and she genuinely is interested in checking your boat.
Only thing (beta move?) we would provide was drinks and food once we got them on the boat. We would have their undivided attention and my friend “the captain” had no problem’s showing them the downstairs portion of the boat
Getting numbers and following up with “boat dates” was instant DTF and good conversion rate.

Of course, now the winter has set in and it is miserable here. We’ve also had to pay for major maintenance repairs (even on a boat with as few as 300 engine hours) and for dry dock storage. So the question arises, especially for those forum players who live in the more northern climates is what has been your experience with boat game (if any), should I try to go even bigger & stronger next year (bypassing long-term business opportunities for quick summer fun) and further more does it seem crazy to you guys to have “invested” in a boat primarily to run game and party (not doing much “useful” stuff such as fishing or water sports)?
All tips and stories appreciated, especially from DC area bros.
