Michael was very accommodating with our last minute booking. We visited from Alaska and we just wanted to make sure to get on a boat. Michael helped us accomplish this. His captain, Tim, was very nice and also accommodating. Thank you and I would definite use them in the future.

A Premium Luxury Experience in Seattle!
Outstanding experience all around! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again. One thing to know — we had 9 ppl on board and it’s hard to seat everyone in the main area. Not an issue once you start moving around but worth thinking through depending on your vision.

One of A Kind Tourboat Adventure for Your Next Event in Seattle
Michael was prompt, courteous, communicative, accommodating, and most of all fun! When we wanted to change our departure and return times, Michael handled the change quickly and our event went off without a hitch. We rented with Michael to celebrate a wedding with friends and family, and we had the full capacity of the ship consumed - even then we had plenty of space to mingle, relax, eat and drink on board. The sailing was smooth, and we got to show a lot of out of towners the beauty of Seattle from the water. I would absolutely recommend Michael, and will rent with him again in the future!

Electric Fantail Boat for Rent in Lake Union
Terry was awesome and very chill! He was flexible with our pick-up/return time and even lent us a cooler to use. The boat was very easy to handle as first-time boaters, and Terry helped us get the boat in/out of the more difficult dock area. The boat was exactly as described and great value, I highly recommend!!

Pontoon Boat Lake Wash
My group and I had a great time with Hanley on the water! He's a super friendly and easygoing captain. Tubing was a blast, and he made sure to match the vibe we were going for, whether we wanted to take it easy or get flipped off the tube. He was really flexible about where we wanted to go and showed us some cool houses along Lake Washington. The boat had a great sound system too. Highly recommend!
