“We have set the grand opening for August 31 2018, and it will feature artistes like; Afrigo Band, Radio and Weasel, Lydia Jazmine, Fille Mutoni and many others. It will be entertaining and no talk at all,” Mr Mpoza says.

“The boat will Cruise on the Potomac from the Wharf in DC’s Southwest waterfront, showing you DC from a whole new perspective. Listen and dance to live music, enjoy fine dining, and take in beautiful, unobstructed views of our nation’s capital,” Mpoza urges.
