Cruises

Not everyone wants to ride a wave or catch a fish. A cruise is time on the water with a captain at the wheel: a sunset run, a tour of the shoreline, or a slow afternoon on a lake. You book the seats you need, so it works for a couple, a family or a few friends.

Where to cruise

• Lake Washington: the city on one side, the Eastside on the other, and Mount Rainier on a clear evening.
• Shilshole Bay Marina: Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains at sunset.
• Lake Tapps: a quiet lake far from city traffic.

Before you book

• Sunset times change a lot through the year in Seattle. Check the trip time on the listing.
• It gets cool on the water after the sun goes down. Bring a warm layer, even in summer.
• Children can come along with a parent or guardian. Only adults 18 or older can book seats.
• Food and drinks. Each listing says what's included. Ask your captain what you can bring when you message them after booking.
