Brand New AR220 - Gas/Captain Included. Lake Washington and Surrounding areas.
Captain Mike was great. We had a problem of too many people saying yes to our son's birthday outing and we had to scramble to organize into two groups. We also had some iffy weather (rain in Seattle in August). But Captain Mike worked with us and the whole day turned out great and everyone had a great time. Highly recommend going out with Mike. One thing to be aware of though, it takes 30 mins to get out of the no-wake zone. So if you plan to do tubing make sure to factor in 60 mins (30 out back and 30 mins back) of travel time to get to the area where you can do the tubing.
