    I rented a boat here for the first time since it's the only place at Greenlake Park to rent. They have a little snack shack which I loved, I enjoyed some ice cream before my friend showed up to join me. We decided to rent a two seater kayak, there was no line, and the process was simple. We spent about an hour and a half out there, returning our equipment was just as easy. The staff was helpful and in good spirits, pricing overall is reasonable. I will definitely return this summer, thank you Greenlake Boathouse!

    Overpriced, but the only place on Greenlake where you can rent pedal boats, SUPs and tour the lake. Make your selection and pay at the boathouse then make your way down to the water's edge where someone will assist you in obtaining your water-craft. Hourly rentals start at $25! Depending on how the wind blows, keep an eye on the time so as not to be charged for the second hour.

    It is a great spot for paddling or simply relax. I was here a couple of weeks ago for the Milk Carton Derby. It is super super fun watching the contest! Is a big party for all family members. Dogs are not aloud to swim in some parts. I believe there is a very tiny spot though. Green Lake has a easy trail that goes around it under the trees. It is a nice walk :) There is also a Light parade in the night in fall as far as I remember. There are lots of activities here :)

    It was a little disorganized here I wish they had a sign so we knew where we were going to get our boat and we wanted to do it in a timely fashion since we just had an hour. The boat rental was reasonable $25 for a 2 person paddle boat for a hour it is just $6 extra if you go a little over time. The employees were wearing masks and very friendly however heading out from shore and also coming into shore was disorganized no one seemed to be paying attention to us and there were no signs telling us where to go. We will be back I just feel like it could be more organized that's why I'm giving it just three stars.

    $22/hr! I went with a couple girlfriends here on a beautiful sunny day in Seattle! I preferred this location than Alki, when I went paddle boarding at Alki bigger boats are passing near by and created waves which I wanted to avoid. So if you like big waves that may be the location for you. Here at Green Lake It's just a bunch people, but no waves :) I would definitely go again!!

    The coffee was terrible, and the customer service was even worse. I would not recommend this place to anyone--it ruined our day trip.

    Called and spoke to Mike today because I am WAY behind in winterizing my Bayliner. I'm a new-ish…read moreboat owner who moved up here from Louisiana, so winterizing is not something I'm familiar with, nor was our tech down in New Orleans. Anyway - Mike was SO helpful answering our questions and did so after hours. I have spoken with numerous other boat shops before when I've had rookie questions, but they've usually been snappy and impatient. Not Mike! He didn't make me feel rushed to get off the phone or that I was inconveniencing him. He gave me some great basic winterization info and I feel so much better going into this nasty cold weather coming this weekend. Thanks Mike! I am definitely going to keep Union Marine in mind for future services.

    I really liked the sales effort and personal attention before and during the long sales process…read more Scott Kay was knowledgeable and attentive until the deal went through and then he dropped us like a hot rock. The new MasterCraft XT22 has had some issues with software and although he said he would be there for us and promised to install the registration stickers, he did not. He just directed me to Julia the Service lead via email. The service interaction has not been a stellar experience. Although Julia is responsive, there is little effort or follow through substance in the interactions. My boat is flawed and no one seems to care and if they do they have no sense of urgency or reasonable communication. It could be that they can't fix it without MasterCraft's help, but they could be more attentive to the interval of communication and give me some timeline to resolution. It is too bad, I had hoped they would be better at all of this as it is their main business. One note of praise goes to June who help us test our boat and even taught us to surf. She lent us her wake board and was very friendly and considerate with her sharing of knowledge and expertise.

    I can't say enough great things about Parker at Seattle Boat! He stayed in touch with me for over…read moretwo years--never pushy, always patient--and when the time was right, he helped me find the perfect Cobalt. Not only did he answer every one of my (many!) questions along the way, but he also personally arranged delivery from Seattle to Lake Chelan, directly to my boat slip, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Parker truly went above and beyond, and I'm so grateful for his professionalism, dedication, and genuine care throughout the process. If you're looking for someone who really puts the customer first, Parker is your guy!

    I would be cautious when dealing with this company for a few reasons. We were looking at a used…read moreboat with them. The price was negotiated before we looked at it with the caveat that the boat was in good condition. They also signed a letter of intent on price with a new trailer vs. using one they had there. Experience when we got there to test drive was great and kid that took us out on the water was super nice. However when we pulled the boat out to look at the hull (when they said boat was in good condition), the entire outdrive was very chewed up (more than just the skeg itself). Parker who was the salesman kind of just dismissed us saying we couldn't make a deal that day (for various reasons) and went back on the letter of intent price we had in writing for both the boat (couple hundred bucks difference) and the new trailer price (couple thousand dollars difference). He said he would call the next morning and never did. Something must have happened with him going back on what he personally wrote in writing vs. what he said that day however having multiple dishonest practices is enough for me to not do business with them.
