There is one bathroom and two changing rooms with lockers within the changing shack. We did add rose petals and eucalyptus Epsom Salt The boats run well and had no mechanicals issues whatsoever ever. You feel very stable and secure within the boat. There is room for for 6 adults in one boat, how we husband and I both noted it would have been as comfortable with two more people (we only had 4 in our party). 4 adults allows you to stretch out comfortably so nobody is impeding on another's personal space. We went 8-10pm and that was amazing because we had lots of daylight and then a gorgeous sunset decide floating back in, in the dark. The boats have blue light strips and that looks nice at nice! Great choice for out of town guests to experience the beautiful weather, sunsets. Extra long summer evening and a scenery with a fb post :) This business is consistently a guest fav Very unique. Another friend also suggested this is a great wedding gift!

Argosy Lake Washington Blue Angels Seafair Cruise Friday July 2026…read more A great experience and fun event. A quick debrief on the logistics. We went on Friday for the airshow thinking it would be less crowded. There is parking underground and a short walk to the pier. You can grab some shade under a few umbrellas by the water. There are public restrooms very close. You queue up about a half an hour before boarding starts. We headed straight to the top deck of the Argosy Explorer in order to get the best viewing. The ship holds 500 but the captain said there were 180 on board that day. We found chairs on the port rail. We were idling at least 2 miles from show center but got a lot of low flyovers. No one really gets a good seat for the Seafair airshow. They're just too far out over the water. The crew was friendly and ship had lots of non-alcoholic drinks available too like cold brew coffee. Bathrooms are good size and there are several. The ship was absolutely immaculate. Getting off takes some time and it's warm inside. There's a nice breeze when the ship is underway but it's hot on top otherwise. A bit of an older crowd and everyone was real social and polite. Wear your SPF clothing, hat, and bring sunscreen. It's a bit rocky on top but got used to it after a bit.

The Lake Washington Argosy Cruise trip was my third trip with the cruise line. I was excited to…read moreexplore this area more and I felt like I had a very satisfying trip! There was a little bit of frustration but much of it did not have to do with Argosy. They have three departure times to tour around the lake. I planned to go to the earliest one but realized that I wouldn't make it so I hoped to make the second departure time. I didn't make it due to heavy construction as a result of weekend construction on I-5. That was really the most infuriating about making these times but again that has nothing to do with Argosy. I encountered a little bit more frustration once I got to Kirkland because the ticket office to buy tickets was closed. In between departure times the ticketing office closes and reopens a half an hour before the next departure time. That is a huge difference compared to the Argosy Cruise location in downtown Seattle where it is open during the day time hours. But I understand why and the reason is that there are a lot more cruise tours that leave from that location while the Kirkland location just has the one tour offered. The tour itself was very enjoyable! The tour guide that narrated during the tour was very good and knowledgeable about the area and the lake! We toured closest to the Bellevue side and looked at many of the lavish homes that were along the lake shore. Very beautiful homes! This area is probably the most primo of homes in the metro area as you can get! We also went by Bill and Melinda Gates' home which was a real highlight even though much of the house was obscured by trees. Lake Washington has a couple floating bridges and we went under the 520 floating bridge which was very cool to see! The views of Seattle, Bellevue and Mount Rainier were in top form as there was minimal haze the day I went. Tickets for this cruise are around the $36 range and the tour itself lasts about an hour and a half. There is a cocktail bar on the ship as well as snacks. It was a fun, relaxing trip after the frustration from the beginning of the outing and is enjoyable for summer tourists as well as locals... in fact the cruise I was on it seemed like that there were more locals than there were people from out of town! The tour guide popped this question early on. This location also does a Christmas cruise and that trip would be pretty since the areas around the lake really go all out on decorations apparently!

I took the beginner's course with Anna and Nick, who were both amazing captains and instructors…read more Anna relocated after several classes, which I understood at the start, and Nick picked up for the last of my classes. I got some great instruction from them both, with helpful quizzing on what I had learned, and opportunities to put learning into practice. Both instructors were such a joy to sail with and learn from. Nick's broad experience and passion for teaching really shine through! Additionally, Lake Union Charters is one of the very few places that could accommodate my schedule for sailing lessons. I am a breastfeeding mama, so I can only be away from my little one for a few hours at a time, and most schools do their beginner's courses over a weekend of 8hr days. I also felt that my 2 hour/class 6 class beginner package was the perfect spacing to allow knowledge, book learning, and the experience I was accumulating to really soak in. These guys are awesome!

WHat a silly way to take a tour of the lake! I've actually come twice, once for a birthday party…read more(in which we shared the boat) and one for a corporate event (in which we did not share the boat). The birthday party was on a Saturday and was arguably much more fun because a bunch of people were into it and dressed up and having fun, and there was more drinking and merriment. The work one was still a nice cruise of the water, and they were actually really nice about letting us bring catering onto the ship so we could eat dinner on the boat. The private cruise also had a little show with another pirate who we had to shoot down, and that was pretty fun. Vibes-wise, this is definitely better with people more into it. I'd say 90% of my workmates were talking about work the whole time, which is less pirate-vibe and more corporate retreat vibe, I guess.

I have nothing but good things to say about this…read more I went on a public cruise on 2019 and had the best time, did a private in 2022 and had a blast again, and just went back a few weeks ago on another public. Start to finish, this is an iconic Seattle adventure. We met at the dock at MOHAI (booked paid parking ahead of time online which I do recommend). Got there a little early to hear the rules/directions, which they always make fun. Checking in was easy, and it doesn't really matter which order you get on in. I was one of the last people on board and felt like it had no bearing on the spot I took as people were moving around. There is only one bar and one bathroom, so I would recommend grabbing a drink before and using the restroom so that you can limit time spent in both lines. The bartender was wonderful. Quick but kind. I ordered a marg and she asked if I wanted a floater of tequila. Ordered a mimosa and she asked if I wanted a splash of guava. It was like she could read my mind. The staff goes all out with the theme. They kept us all safe, but made it fun with costumes, an exciting playlist, and by letting us squirt water at nearby hot tub boats. Book with your friends and have an amazing time. You will not regret going all out on your costume!

The experience was worth every penny and then some. The luxury, quality, and attention to detail is unmatched. Mark, the owner, was so attentive and a pleasure to work with. He took care of all the details and answered all my questions. The boat was beautiful and spacious for the two of us. We enjoyed the views and conversation with the crew immensely. My husband is a huge Sleepless in Seattle fan and the highlight of the evening was passing the floating house. The food was amazing. Everything was farm to fork fresh and prepared by a chef onboard. I highly recommend the crab cakes and homemade bourbon ice-cream. The pace of the evening was lovely, it didn't feel rushed or lagging. You could tell Mark worked hard to make sure that our experience from the moment we stepped aboard was seamless. He thought of everything, even providing a cozy blanket when the wind became a little chilly towards the end of the night. I cannot recommend Enchantress Cruises enough! Thank you for a lovely and memorable evening!

She met us at the Port Orchard Marina, gave us the Safety brief and within a few minutes we were under sail. Though the Western (her boat) had seen her share of rough weather she could certainly catch the wind like a beauty and tacked on a dime! Captain Sherry was great and we had a wonderful time! Her prices were very reasonable. Sailing lessons are $55 per person for 3 hours and then $20 for every additional hour. We ended up being out there for about 4 hours. We were all having so much fun that no one had their eye on the clock. She also has an all day sail that includes dinner and a few other destinations which is only $150. I'm looking forward to doing this again very very soon.
