    On a quest to check out the beauty that is Lake Chelan, Trip Advisor directed us to this boat outing that was considered a must seen venture. For about $60 a person you can choose to take the express boat to Stehekin or the standard that ranges from 2 hours to a 4 hour ride. Be sure to get the docking area early, as this is SUPER POPULAR tourist attraction - we were there about 30 minutes early and we still were struggling to find a parking spot to leave our car. Because they don't allow you to print out your own tickets - you have to wait on a long line to get to the counter to pick up your tickets.. the process is pretty old school and obsolete. When you get on the boat - based on your preference you have to pretty much play musical chairs with everybody to get the best spots on the top deck and be exposed to the sun. The ride itself was super smooth and the views were breath taking - tons of blue water and majestic mountains that remind you of the beauty those that live in the Pacific Northwest speaks of. This tour isn't a guided one where the boat crew narrate throughout your ride but they do point out some specific areas. I highly recommend you bring some stuff to do - like board games, cards, a book, and snacks as on the boat you are forced to use cash only to purchase any drinks/ snacks and you will lose service/ wifi as you get further out into the water!

    Home port this is where you load the boat in Chelan.

    Took our first trip to stihekin about the lady of the lake express. It is a lengthy trip even on the express boat that said it's very scenic so bring binoculars. The caption and crew were professional showing good safe boating skills... the caption was helpful with insightful history or the lake and region. After a couple stops and a few hours your in the small Town of stehekin. Aboard the express you get one hour for one of 3 items.. while at port.. bakery, waterfall, restaurant/store... bakery and waterfall you get to drive a little seeing a few of the cabins and camp sites.. after seeing this town I plan on camping some time.. it's just so Prestine!

    I rode on the Lady Express & not the Lady II because I didn't really need the 90 minute layover in Stehekin. The Lady Express has a 60 minute layover, or you can go up on the Express and come down on the Lady II to get a 3 hour layover. You're more that welcome to stay longer wherever your ultimate destination may be though. The rates are subject to change or fuel surcharge depending on what time of year you go. On the Lady Express there is upstairs and downstairs seating. The upstairs is outside and exposed to the wind. There is a galley or food bar downstairs as well as a unisex bathroom. There are large windows to view as you travel up to your destination. The Express makes less stops so if you're in a hurry of want to get to Stehekin or Field's Point earlier in the day, take the Express. There are about 150 seats total and on the day I went, the boast was maybe half full. You are supposed to book ahead by visiting the website & then they send an email to see if they have availability and if they confirm there are open seats you then have to call and book over the phone. This was easy to do, but it seems like it would be easier if they just had a calendar on the website as to which days there is still availability and you can just search availability & book at the same time. The schedule for both of the boats is on their website, so check that before you go. It was a smooth two and a half hour ride to Stehekin and the captain seemed very adept at manuveuring the boat. The crew was pleasant as well. They were like grungy sea pirates or anything. I will say if you get sea sick easily make sure you take your Dramamine or whatever so you don't throw up. Also, there is no wifi and there isn't any cell service the closer you get to Stehekin. There aren't any roads that lead to Stehekin so this is the only way to get there other than a boat-plane. There were a lot of hikers and backpackers on the boat. A lot of people go up and hike in/on/and around the Pacific Crest Trail or any of the wonderful trails up around Stehekin. It was $61 in July 2014 round trip. I went up and back in one day so I didn't have to pay for parking. I thought that was actually quite nice for a 6 hour boat ride on a nice sunny day on Lake Chelan. I enjoyed the commentary by the captain as well. I actually learned some things about the depth of Lake Chelan and how much water is in the Lake and how some of the settlements around the lake grew from settlers or Lutherans or other people and about the Forest Service. Definitely worth my money.

Then, I came across Chrome Rangers NW Fishing adventures. Cory Griffin, the owner/Captain, is quite the humble, compassionate, and very professional man. He's got an amazing sense of sense of humor which keeps everyone at ease - smiling & laughing. Cory displays prompt, effective, communication; not just in booking, but at each step of the fishing adventure. And an adventure it was on our 10/21/2025 trip. I had my Coho limit by 8am, the rest of the boat limited out by 10am! The Chrome Rangers' NW boat and fishing gear are first-rate, including top line fishing gear, tackle, bait, and knowledge with a Garmin fish & depth finder. Cory shows extensive knowledge as a fishing guide - to include areas, species, and current regulations. Chrome Rangers NW always put the needs of the clients first! Doing whatever it takes to make every trip a success and help each client to catch their limit and make the experience extremely memorable. I will definitely be re-booking with Cory (Chrome Rangers NW). Only next time, I'll be bringing my son, son-in-law, and grandson! Again... Thank You Cory!

Posted this back in July. We have yet to receive the promised refund. Even though Debbie swore she put it through. We went back up there in early August and was rudly told she didn't even need to refund him. We are so disappointed in the lack of competence in the diagnosing and the customer service at Mill Bay.

I called Mill Bay Marine Monday morning and they said if I could be there at 2PM Aaron would take a quick look at our boat to see what the issue was. Aaron (shop manager) was awesome. Supper nice and helpful. Boat could not be completely repaired in time for our vacation due to lack of part availability. However, Aaron was able to provide a temporary solution that was safe and reliable that same day. His goal was to get us a working boat for our vacation. And he did that. In fact, Aaron and Frazier stayed about 90 mins (maybe more) after closing time to get us operational. They were slammed with work but were still so nice, genuine, and honest... and staying late to help ensure we had our boat during our vacation was over the top. Thank you Aaron and Frazier!! Office manager was also friendly and helpful. Recommend them to everyone.
