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!

Vintage Viking Princess 385 Yacht for Charter
I give Brian and Drew a 10/10. They made our experience truly memorable and we always felt safe under their attentive care. Their professionalism and friendliness really stood out, making the trip enjoyable from start to finish. We rented the boat for four hours however towards the end of the rental, they were kind enough to extend our rental for an extra two hours. The boat was really beautiful as well! Accurate description of the boat!

Brian is Amazing! His fleet of boats are amazing! We hired him for July 4th fireworks. He found a great pickup spot that was low crowded, gave us precise times to meet, and efficiently brought us as close to the barge as possible. We were literally the closest boat to the fireworks. He handled everything including dealing with the coastguard, police, following all regulations and such. We just enjoyed ourselves. The boat is clean, spacious, has a very functional toilet. Will rent again!

They were extremely accommodating and welcoming and went out of their way and provided complimentary waters and sodas which was very sweet of them. The drum set on the top deck was cool and their speakers were perfect! I will be booking in the future forsure!
