Your lake,
your day.
Quiet water, golden light, and a captain who knows every cove. Private charters on Lake Union and Lake Washington, departing minutes from downtown Seattle — set entirely to your pace.
A day on the water, made personal.
Every charter is private — just you and your guests. No fixed route, no schedule you didn't choose. Tell Captain Jeff what kind of day you're imagining, and he'll shape it around you.
Seattle Skyline Tour
Cruise Lake Union past the floating homes, taxiing seaplanes, and the unmistakable downtown skyline — Seattle from its most beautiful angle.
Sunset Cruises
Slip out as the light turns gold. The skyline lights up behind you while we drift through calm water.
Swimming in a Cove
Anchor in a quiet Lake Washington cove for an afternoon of swimming, floating, and easy sun.
Tour of the Mansions
Cruise the Lake Washington shoreline past Seattle's most iconic waterfront estates.
Birthday Parties
Bring your people, your playlist, and your favorite bottle. We'll bring the boat and the view.
Corporate Team Events
An elevated, private setting for client entertaining, team offsites, and small executive gatherings.
Light, water, and the quiet in between.
Tailored to your day.
Every charter is private and shaped around what you're imagining, so we don't post a fixed menu of prices. Instead, your quote is built from a handful of simple factors:
- Day of week
Weekdays tend to be quieter and gentler on the budget.
- Time of day
Mornings, afternoons, and golden-hour sunsets each carry their own rhythm.
- Length of charter
Most charters run about four hours, with some running slightly shorter or longer depending on what you have in mind.
- Season
Prices reach their peak in July and August, but remain well below other boats of this caliber.
- Holidays & premium weekends
The 4th of July, Seafair, and long weekends are our most-requested dates.
Captain Jeff personally confirms every quote by text. No checkout carts, no auto-generated invoices — just a real conversation, usually within the hour. Tell him the date, your group size, and the kind of day you're hoping for, and he'll send a clear, all-in number.
Charters accommodate up to 6 guests. Captain, fuel, and on-board essentials are always included. Gratuity is appreciated, never expected.

What to bring.
Sun protection
Sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses — the water reflects more light than you'd expect.
Towels & a swimsuit
For swimming and lounging in a quiet cove.
Food & beverages
Bring takeout, charcuterie, a cake, wine, beer — anything you love. Alcohol is totally fine. We'll keep it all cold in the coolers, and cups, plates, and utensils are already on board.

Meet Captain Jeff.
Captain Jeff is a U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Master Captain who has safely hosted hundreds of unforgettable days on the water in Seattle.
Guests find him easy to be around — quick with a story about the waterfront mansions, the bald eagles overhead, or the best cove for an afternoon swim, and just as happy to step back and let the group enjoy the view. He's responsive before, during, and after the charter, and brings a true customer-service mindset to every trip, looking for the small ways to make guests feel genuinely taken care of.
A few kind words.
"Jeff replied to every text within minutes leading up to our day and then somehow knew exactly when to share a story and when to let us just sit with the view. Felt less like a charter and more like a friend taking us out."
"My parents flew in from India and Jeff made them feel like royalty. He pointed out a bald eagle, the houses of a few people we'd actually heard of, and the prettiest cove on the lake — my dad hasn't stopped talking about it."
"I had a very specific vision and Jeff was unbelievably responsive in the weeks leading up. He anchored us in the exact spot I asked for, disappeared for ten minutes, then came back with champagne already poured. She said yes. He cheered."
"We had three kids under ten, two grandparents, and one birthday girl. Jeff handled all of it like a pro — patient, easy to talk to, and always thinking a step ahead about what would make us more comfortable."
Questions, answered.
Send Captain Jeff a text. Tell him roughly when you'd like to come out, how many guests, and what kind of day you have in mind. He'll reply with a quote and a few date options. No portal, no calendar games — just a real conversation.
Pick-ups are in South Lake Union, just minutes from downtown Seattle. Pick-ups in Kirkland or Bellevue are also possible at an additional cost — just mention it when you text.
Up to six guests per charter, by Coast Guard regulation. Kids are welcome — just mention them when you text.
Seattle weather is part of the charm — light rain is rarely a problem and the boat has a covered helm. If conditions are genuinely unsafe, Jeff will reach out to reschedule. You will never be charged for a weather cancellation.
