A Seattle tradition for more than 27 years! Our volunteer skippers and crew take passengers out on Lake Union for short but unforgettable voyages. Sprit boats, steamboats, electric boats, schooners, ketches, yawls, and yachts are among the several boat types that may be available to ride. Registration Begins at 1:00pm (arrive early). Sign-ups begin in person at 1:00pm in front of the Wagner Education Center. We recommend arriving early to ensure your first choice. It is important to be aware that this is a first-come, first-served opportunity and the number of spots available each day depends on boat maintenance schedules, and volunteer skipper and crew availability. Due to the limited number of passenger spaces (between 80-200 people), we are unfortunately not always able to accommodate everyone who shows up and waits in line.
