Our objective was to see how often and how we would use a boat. After a season, we decided to buy a Cobalt boat. We had stayed in touch with Shane over the last year. Once we decided it was time to move forward, he worked with us to build the boat we wanted. The team at SBC has made it an easy transaction. We just received our new R6 Surf. From Shane in Sales to Tony at SkyLaunch and Tommy the Delivery Captain it has been a great experience. Tommy sent me a library of videos to review prior to delivery and then did the on water boat orientation and walk through. He took me through all the systems and how they worked. In general, SBC sells and services high-end boats. They provide a concierge type experience. There are always staff around to answer questions and help you with any issues. They are definitely a higher-end dealer and it is not the low cost place. However, they provide the service and facilities that goes along with the price. Highly recommended.

Want to hit the water on a hot day, check out the renton rowing center…read more Staff is very helpful mostly high-school kids that are part of the rowing program. Location is great at the south end of lake Washington right next to Boeing and renton airport, you can either head down to Gene Coulon or along the water front by rainier ave and house watch. We paddle our kayak up the river under the renton library and renton airport. Had to deal with a lot of boat and jet skiers by coulon so we headed up river. Pro - friendly service, not super crowded, nicely priced Con - paddles for both kayaks and paddle boards old, kayaks did not have built in Rudders which caused issues when dealing with wakes caused by boats and wind.

Most places operated on a first-come, first-serve basis, raising concerns about equipment availability on nice days. However, one of the best aspects of renting through REI is the option to reserve equipment for a specific timeslot, providing confidence that it'll be available upon arrival. Enatai's parking situation is generally sufficient, although it can be a bit scarce under the bridge during busier hours. However, with a bit of patience, a parking spot usually opens up. This is something to consider when planning your reservation timing. The staff at Enatai are incredibly sweet and ensure you have everything you need: a dry bag for your belongings, an oar, and a life vest. They assist in bringing the kayak to the water, give you a good push off, and then you're ready to embark on your kayaking adventure. But here's the real scoop on why THIS spot is the ultimate kayaking spot (at least among the REI choices--Meyenbauer is the other one). After cruising around the bay a few times, one of the staff spilled the beans. If you take a left and paddle under the highway bridge, there's this magical little river/creek thing. Lily pads, turtles, dragonflies, ducks, geese--you name it, we saw it. Total hidden gem! If you're thinking about trying out kayaking as a newb like me, you must try this spot!!!!! You will be hooked!

Sophie basically performed a full-binding exorcism on my indecision. I walked in mumbling something like "uhh I ride kinda switch and sometimes hit side hits but also like buttering around," and within five minutes she had narrowed my choices from "all of them" to "these exact three that I won't hate by February." Her product knowledge is scarily good like if bindings had a trivia night, Sophie would win a free lifetime supply and then give half away because she's just that nice. I walked out with premium bindings for less than the "discount" price I was about to pay online (before shipping, tax, and the inevitable regret). 10/10, five stars, two thumbs up, would let Sophie pick my bindings again in a heartbeat.

His Grady White fishing boat is a great boat, the perfect set up and he was ready to roll as soon as we arrived. As we headed out to our first fishing spot he spotted porpoises and we stopped to watch them for a few minutes. At our first fishing spot, my 9 year old son caught a beautiful King Salmon within the first 5 minutes, he put up a good fight and my son was psyched to reel it in. We all caught and released some big Kings - lots of smiles and laughs reeling them in, for sure. Captain Dave kept our lines baited, was quick and patient to get any lines untangled and was really good with the kids. We were lucky to go out just after Dungeness Crab season opened and were able to throw a couple crab pots out first thing; we checked them on our way in and got lucky and took home a few crab too. Our kids liked the bonus crab pots, including the smelly bait - ha! We would definitely recommend Captain Dave and Wind Knot Guides if you want to get out for Salmon fishing while in Seattle!
