Been on two of their cruises; both times the food and service were excellent. It's a relaxing way to "cruise" around Lake Washington, and it's nice to have an alternative to Argosy. More

Our friends surprised us with a brunch cruise, the food was excellent, staff very very nice, and the captain was great. He allowed us to come up front and see things up close and personal. It was apprx 2 hr trip around Lake Washington, it was a little different seeing things from the water instead of the Fwy. We enjoyed... More

I discovered this company through Groupon last year, and was surprised at the "hidden" location in Renton. We had a wonderful cruise around Lake Washington, and the captain was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area, and made the tour great. We then booked a dinner cruise from the Seattle dock, expecting "institutional" fare, like the more famous cruise... More

What a wonderful experience! The weather, food, staff, and the ambiance were perfect the time we went. We are doing it again! For a dinner cruise we were surprised the food was very tasty and it's as if you were dining at a very high end restaurant in Seattle! More

I took the wife and our two young children for the Sunday Brunch, departing from Southport in Renton. The captain and crew were very friendly, the ride was very smooth and the weather was perfect. The buffet brunch had a small but tasty selection of fruits and breakfast foods. Everything was pretty good. I would have given 5 stars, but... More

Even though the starting point is a long taxi drive from the centre of the city, it is worth it! This cruise was spectacular. We chose the Sunday Brunch cruise, and were welcomed with a glass of champagne by a very friendly waiter who gave us superb service and informed answers to our questions about the area. The boat was... More

My husband and I booked a Sunday Brunch cruise for a birthday present to two of our best friends. This day, the weather cooperated! The staff was exceptional - efficient, friendly, helpful - and the captain had great tidbits of information along the way. Food was great, not just your usual boat snack food (salmon, fresh steamed asparagus). We ate... More

Katrina bent over backwards to ensure that we had everything coming to us, and then some. A+++++. Will recommend your services to any and everybody that I know. She took a small paper-work mistake turned it around, and ensured nothing else would interfere with the special night planned for my wife. The whole staff was attentive, and eager to get... More
