My Lake Union and Lake Washington relaxation escape toy is equipped with a bathroom, a push button anchor system, a full enclosure that can be zipped in to protect from any weather, a sun cover to hide from the burning sun, tables, Bluetooth connection to amazing sound system, cub holders everywhere, a large deck on the front of the boat that fits easily 5-6 adults, a large swim platform with swim ladder and also has a hot & cold shower for rinsing after jumping in the water. In the interior cabin there are comfy couches and a removable table. The rear seating area can fit 4-6 adults and has a removable table. The inside cabin can support 4-6 people. The captainâs area can support two people. The cabin table can be lowered and a cushion inserted to become a bed. There is an inflator for your self-provided inflatables. There are also cell phone charging cables. I have a few childrenâs life jackets. All safety equipment will be pointed out in person. The boat has life jackets for everyone aboard. â I require a 4-hour minimum on weekends in summer for self-captained rentals. Higher pricing on holiday weekends, Seafair etc. On Seafair Friday-Sunday there is a minimum 8 hour rental from 9am-5pm for captained or self-captained rentals. After 5pm normal rental options exist. â The capacity is 10 people including the captain. â Self-captained rentals need to have an experienced operator. Please share your exact experience prior to booking. â Gas is paid at the end of the rental via cash or electronic money transfer apps at a flat rate per rented hour. Owner fills the gas to allow renters more time on the water vs other rental boats!!! â I have these available to rent at an extra cost: Sublue Navbow Water Scooter or Paddleboard.  â Keep in mind this is a cabin cruiser and is not meant to go fast. I have a cruising speed limit and unfortunately for liability donât allow towables. For safety, to limit much greater risk along with potential timing delays on other rentals, the boat may not go on the Puget Sound unless cleared with Owner and I only would allow the boat on the Sound assuming a 12 hour all day rental or multi-day rental. There is a depth finder/navigation unit on board. To limit extra damage risks, I donât allow the boat to be tied up to other boats, and please ask for permission if you intend to anchor (can only Anchor in Union and Andrewâs Bay) or are interested in docking anywhere (for very experienced operators). Absolutely no smoking/vaping. No red wine or foods that can stain. No pets. No shoes (take off at boarding). Boat must be as perfectly clean as provided or a cleaning fee would apply. Trash must be taken with you. Provide your own cooler and ice. There is a late fee so please return exactly on time. You will sign a rental agreement and provide a copy of photo ID at the dock.

This was my first time renting a boat and it couldnât have gone any smoother ! Brian was a great communicator and was so speedy with his replies. He had so much knowledge about the water and surrounding areas and added to the vibe of our boat. 10/10
Brian was an excellent guide. He provided very detailed information about the vistas around Lake Union and Lake Washington and my family and I very much enjoyed every minute of the route he proposed. Recommended!
Great day out on the water! There were a couple miscommunications but Brian made sure to make things right and was great about keeping us in the loop along the way. Will book again soon! Highly recommend!
10/10 all around. Brian is wonderful and this boat was perfect for our day touring the city by water. Easy on/off. Great communication. Lovely experience.
We had a fantastic time on Brianâs boat.
Iâve been around the water most of my life from the family boat to a decade in the sport of rowing. Thanks for your interest in renting!
Youâll get directions to the departure location when you make a booking.
50% refund up to 14 days prior.
Spring/Summer Pricing: Renter operates my boat Weekdays: ⢠2 hours $389 ⢠3 hours $499 ⢠4 hours $625 ⢠6 hours $875 ⢠8 hours $1099 Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays: ⢠4 hours $679 ⢠6 hours $949 ⢠8 hours $1199 Captained rental Weekdays: ⢠2 hours $489 ⢠3 hours $659 ⢠4 hours $875 ⢠6 hours $1199 ⢠8 hours $1499 Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays: ⢠2 hours $519 ⢠3 hours $699 ⢠4 hours $929 ⢠6 hours $1299 ⢠8 hours $1649 ***Rates will vary and be increased for Holiday weekends and special events (Memorial Day, Pride Weekend, July 4th, Labor Day, Seafair, Sailgating UW games etc.) Gas is paid by renter at the end of the rental via cash/Zelle/Venmo etc.  Agreement/Disclosures  Operating vessel: We will go over safety information in person. This is NOT a speed boat, it is a cruiser. Single engine vessel: this is not the boat for you if you are wanting to go fast. No towables, watersports etc. Dual engine vessel: towables and watersports may be allowed. Discuss with owner if interested as logistics and specific safety information is required. Itâs a legal NO WAKE zone/7 knots speed limit from Ballard Locks to Lake Union/Ship Canal to the 520 bridge/Webster Point (entrance to Lake Washington). Be careful so a ticket doesnât ruin your day! If heading out to Lake Washington, when traveling through Union Bay, stay in the main channel or to the left all the way past Webster point before turning right, to the south. There are shallow places with under water pilings that can cause severe damage. Note: it takes 45 minutes to get from Union Bay to the starting point in South Lake Union. Once on Lake Washington I have a vessel speed limit of 15 knots if you only have a few passengers, otherwise, if a large load of passengers, a lower speed applies. It is easiest to follow the speed limit by RPMs, please ask what max and best cruising RPMs to run engine at depending on load. It is possible for an exception to be made depending on passenger load/skill set of renter and comfortability of owner. The engine(s) suffer much wear being a rental boat and any higher speed greatly reduces the life of the engine in addition to owner not knowing the true skill set of individual renters knowledge of planing/using trim tabs properly and the fact of speed leading to increased safety issues and dramatically higher gas consumption which comes with an uncomfortable sticker shock. I have remote boat monitoring including GPS & speed tracking so please understand this rule is to be strictly followed. If rule is blatantly and obviously broken there could be a $500 fee which goes towards future necessary mechanical work. Please provide a backup contact person/phone number for me to reach the boat in case your phone is out of reach or you are distracted. Communication is critical to ensure a great experience!  Insurance: The rental does not come with any insurance provided by the site, if you booked on any platform. Insurance is accessible by the Owner only which has a renter rider. In the event insurance will not cover an incident, the renter is completely liable for any and all damages to the vessel, other vessels and structures, contents of vessel, damages to otherâs property, injuries, death that occurs do to any incident while under the control of the renter during the rental period. Renter understands by taking possession of vessel, renter waives all rights for any suit against and all liabilities to vessel owner and understands renter is solely liable for the complete cost of damages to vessel, itâs contents, damage to any otherâs property and the health and safety of renterâs self, any of renters passengers and anyone renter may encounter during the duration of the rental. The owner of the vessel may choose completely and solely at ownerâs discretion to offer to limit damages sustained to vessel to the full amount of ownerâs insurance policyâs deductible and any other incidental costs associated with making a claim. However, if damage affects future rentals or for any reason at ownerâs discretion, complete costs of damages, medical bills, or any incident caused by renter or renterâs guests will be solely and completely renterâs financial responsibility and fully liable for any incidents and costs of loss of usage for future canceled rentals due to damage caused during the rental.  Pickup location/process: We will be meeting at the public dock at Chandlers Cove in Southeast Lake Union (901 Fairview Ave N, Seattle, WA). In an emergency or extenuating circumstance we might have to meet at the Sunnyside Ave N Boat ramp/dock in northeast Lake Union or another possible location. Owner will communicate which location in advance of rental. Please note the pickup location may have to be changed from these locations depending on circumstances. Most likely, I or my assistant will shove the boat away from the dock after going over everything you need to know about the boat and doing a demonstration docking of how to slowly approach the dock at the end of the rental. PLEASE DO NOT APPROACH the dock until we communicate and that I or my assistant is waiting for you at the dock. The other process could be: [I or my assistant will maneuver the boat out of and back into the dock and will dinghy (use my small inflatable boat) or paddleboard back to my marina after going over important information with you to minimize your risk with docking. At the end of the rental we will meet on the water outside of my marina with me on my dinghy/paddleboard so I can finish the trip and drop you back off at the dock and then get the boat back to my marina.]  Boat rules: Be respectful of other boats and noise levels especially in marina/dock area. No pets. Please remove shoes and keep under rear seat on single engine vessel or in rear exterior cabin on dual engine vessel. No sitting/leaning/jumping off bow deck railing or sitting on bow deck hatch. Do not allow any passengers to stand on the bow deck while the boat is in motion or while stopped to protect the structural integrity of the bow deck. The only time people should stand is moving to and from the area.  For safety and to prevent damage, no standing on swim platform while the engine is on and please never sit on top backrest of rear seating. Follow legal requirements for children wearing life jackets where applicable. When engine is off, maximum of 3 people standing on swim deck as a weight limit exists. No smoking, vaping and no drugs. Be aware that waterways are patrolled by the Coast Guard and possessing marijuana is still a federal crime. No tying up to other boats and absolutely no docking unless asking for and granted permission first as the risk of damage is greatest in these two situations which has happened in the past. Please inform me if you plan to anchor so I can let you know the two spots you can anchor the boat. Iâve had renters lose money due to losing the anchor and line by anchoring in the wrong location. Be careful to stay in the main channel and away from the south shore towards the 520 bridge and only maneuver boat under main tall passageways. Iâve had a renter break the propeller disabling the boat completely by going in shallow waters next to a dock. Absolutely no docking at the Madison Beach Dock. Boat may not go on the Puget Sound through the locks due to much greater risks and future rental time constraints.  Gas: Gas is paid in cash or electronically at the end of the rental. The minimum depending on usage: $52 per rental hour on single engine boat, $62 an hour on dual engine boat. Gas can be more than the minimum especially on half day trips if the engine is run the full 4 hours and the trip includes circling Mercer Island for example which usually means the engine is run at a higher RPMs. It currently costs about $800 for the single engine boat and $1600 for the dual engine boat to fill up an empty tank. I have minimums as it takes quite a bit of work and extra time to keep refilling the boat which I or my assistant does instead of other rental companies which make the renter spend too much of their rental time on refilling the gas. My process leads to happier customers and less damage to the boats since constant docking isnât required.  Cleaning: Entire boat must be returned in same clean condition as provided. You must use a provided boat towel located in cabinet to the left of bathroom door, slightly dampen and scrub all decking and seats upon return and best to do after most have stepped off boat. Cleaning wipes, cleaners, rags, paper towels, vacuum are all provided. Keep wet clothes and feet out of cabin to keep carpet and upholstery dry. Please keep any dark liquids outside and not in the cabin. No red wines as when spilt is difficult to impossible to remove. No open containers in cabin so spills wonât get on carpet or upholstery. No pets allowed. Please again, no smoking. If the boat is left dirty, carpets soaking wet, or smoking occurs there will be $100 minimum cleaning fee.  Late fees: 15-29 minutes late $100. 30 minutes or more up to $1,000 if another booking is affected/canceled.  Cancellations: Please note my cancellation policy is the same whether on the platforms or directly booked through me: -Free cancellations until 30 days before the booking start date. -50% refund for cancellations between 14-30 days before the booking start date. -Cancellations within 14 days of the booking start date are non-refundable.  Rescheduling and Weather: I do not offer the ability to reschedule to another date. The boat has a full zip-in enclosure and goes out in Seattleâs unpredictable weather. Iâm sorry but it is still Seattle and I canât accommodate rescheduling or refunds for cancellations due to rain and clouds.
