Fort Washington Marina: The Heart of Black Boating Culture in the DMV

Welcome to Fort Washington Marina, a vibrant boating hub located in Piscataway Park, just east of Fort Washington Park in Maryland. With 180 slips and over 40 years of history, it's one of the largest full-service marinas in the National Capital Region. In this video, marina members share what makes this place so special—from the tight-knit boating community and stunning views of nature to the unique perspective of seeing DC from the water. Hear firsthand from boaters like Carl, Johnnie, and Omar about the deep bonds formed here and the pride of being part of a predominantly African American boating community. Omar, a captain for hire, speaks powerfully about how boating shaped his life and the importance of preserving access and equity as the marina grows. Fort Washington Marina isn’t just a place for boats—it’s a true family on the water.
