Item Description

Package includes: a one and a half hour cruise on Lake Union in Seattle for up to 6 people with non-alcoholic beverages and light picnic snacks included. Based on availability. 

Enjoy an afternoon on the water touring Lake Union and the houseboat community in a classic fantail motor launch built for year-round touring on the waters of the Pacific Northwest. Inside, you are enveloped by rich, old growth cedar and mahogany woodwork framing her large stagelike windows for all around viewing. Outside, a stately yacht white enamel glistens against the deeply varnished brightwork. A spacious and elegantly decorated salon seats six comfortably while double french doors open to a covered outdoor seating cockpit-- joining the entire cabin space into an open entertainment area. A cozy antique cast iron wood stove stands at the ready to take the chill off the cool marine air.

In the days before mass production, classic wooden yachts eloquently graced the waters of Puget Sound and Lake Washington. Those onshore longed for a glimpse of the leisurely activities partaken by the affluent yachtsmen on board. Were they discussing their waterfront real estate investments over a cigar and glass of bootlegged rum? Or were they sampling caviar and chocolate while dangling a hook for another monster fish story? What is it that makes leisure travel on a classic wooden yacht so unique? Join us for a memorable experience where all your senses will be stimulated and dazzled.
