The Lake Washington Ship Canal connects Puget Sound to Lake Washington, making it possible to take a boat from Lake Washington out into the Sound. The route will take you through Montlake Cut and into Lake Union first, and then you’ll pass through the Ballard Locks to get into Puget Sound with your boat. This can be a great route if you’re renting a boat in Lake Washington for multiple days and looking to cruise around the highlights of the coast of Seattle.
Puget Sound is a beautiful inlet of the Pacific Ocean around Seattle. It’s known for whale watching and boating opportunities, beautiful scenery, and outdoor activity offerings. If you visit Puget Sound, make sure you spend at least one day on a boat to see more of the waterways and enjoy whale watching.
Puget Sound is great, you can expect to catch fish like chinook, coho, sockeye salmon, trout, steelhead and Pacific halibut to name a few. Book a fishing charter from Puget Sound or rent a fishing boat on your own and cruise out to make some epic catches. A fishing charter with a professional guide may be the best option if you’re new to Puget Sound, and they will provide you with all the bait, gear, and tackle you need for a successful fishing day.
We had a very pleasant experience working with Chris. We had to cancel our reservation at the last minute last month as half of our group came down with COVID. We were able to reschedule this month and had a great time. Chris had the boat ready and waiting for us in Kirkland. Communicating with him was a breeze. Everyone in our party of 12 had a great time! The kids thoroughly enjoyed the slide. I highly recommend booking this pontoon boat with Chris!
Curt was a great captain and made our experience awesome! He took us all around Lake Washington and Lake Union and showed us the different points of interest, he even let us stop for a restaurant and swimming. This was a much better option than renting from a large boat rental company.
My friends and I had an amazing experience boating on Lake Washington/Lake Union with Captain Curt! The views were spectacular, and we were even able to get a swim in. Captain Curt was great host, making sure we were safe and having fun. I will definitely be planning more boating trips in the future!
Curt is the best captain around! He was super flexible in scheduling and communicated with us throughout. He showed our group an awesome time. Highly recommend Curt for anyone looking for an awesome tour of Seattle or just a great time out on the lake!
An amazing day out with Curt on his boat. He was waiting for us at the marina and we quickly loaded up and set off to Lake Union and Lake Washington. Curt knew all the great locations, we got a swim in and saw some great places on the lake. Can’t wait to ride again.
The trip was a phenomenal experience for my friends and I! The boat was clean and spacious — exactly as advertised. We were able to cruise around Lake Washington and Lake Union and Curt pointed out all the sights. He also helped us go tubing and was communicative prior to the booking to arrange everything. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely book again with Curt.
