33ft Pontoon Boat Party Barge | One of the best on the lake!
Absolutely 5 stars for Chris and his boat! From the moment we booked, Chris was incredibly responsive, professional, and friendly. The boat was in pristine condition—clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. He gave us a quick walkthrough and made sure we felt confident and safe before setting off. The entire experience was seamless, relaxing, and fun. Whether you’re new to boating or a regular, you’ll appreciate how smooth Chris makes the whole process. Highly recommend renting from him—will definitely be back!

Brand New AR220 - Gas/Captain Included. Lake Washington and Surrounding areas.
I can’t recommend Mike enough! This was my first time using this kind of service, and Mike truly made the entire experience exceptional. From the moment I reached out, he was responsive, informative, and incredibly accommodating. We celebrated my mom’s birthday on his boat, and he went above and beyond to make us all feel comfortable and welcome. The boat was the perfect size for our group—we connected our music and had an unforgettable time. Thank you, Mike, for helping us create such special memories!

CAPTAIN YOURSELF THIS 12 Passenger 26ft Pontoon Party Barge Awesome Boat!
Grate Time! Was in town for my kids graduation and wanted to do something different. We were able to show up with our food and beverages, hope on the boat and head out. Return was easy as well with easy access gas stations on the lake. Communication is key and Chris was "Johnny on the spot" in getting back to me with my many questions ahead of time. Get on board folks, the water is fine!

Dash the Lake in our Premium Cobalt Bowrider! Hassle-free refueling!
What a blast! I had a great time last week on the boat I rented from Erik. The boat was in great condition. It was clean, ran well, and it had a great speaker system! I took three friends who were in town for a 40th birthday celebration for a tour of Seattle and they really enjoyed hanging out, seeing the sights, and listening to good music. Erik was very friendly, responsive to questions, and knowledgeable on some cool spots to go on the lake. I would highly recommend using him because he made the whole experience fun!
