    A friend invited us to go with them on the 7~9 passenger boat. Ended up being around $500 total incl tax and fuel for two hours on the weekend. Checkin was a bit slow since they only had a window open, and you have to fill out forms for each person in your party. The staff were polite and helpful and walked the drivers through how to navigate, which was pretty simple. We were able to park in the P-2000 garage, close to the doors that lead straight out to their booth. It was free passage? Not sure if that's normal, from the website it seemed like it shouldn't be free on weekends, but I'm not complaining. Otherwise, retail will give you 2 hr validation. The boat itself seemed well kept and clean. Great view on the water and even though it's September, the water wasn't too cold since there was still a little bit of sun. Great experience, will probably do this more often in the future. Much easier than owning your own boat :)

    I went with a group of 10 people. We rented double kayaks and single kayaks in 2 different timeslots Around $20-25/person Some highlights: - beautiful view! - you can book ahead online, although it was difficult to get everyone at the same timeslot if you're going with a big group - there's a locker to store your item, but there was no lock - ultra kind employees - be sure to be there 15 mins early to fill out the waiver forms - what was helpful to bring yourself is a Ziplock to put your phone in - 1 hour time limit - it was a little wavy that day because of the wind.. can get difficult if you are kayaking alone - be careful of other big boats.. there were times when we almost crash into a boat Parking -- You can park at the garage and get 2 hour validation from them

    We arrived 5 minutes before our Scheduled time and they wouldn't let us go out for part of the hour or give us a refund. Wanted us to be there 15 minutes early. Ruined our day Younger blond hair kid must've been manager told my gf she should 'effing' be on time if she wants to ride jet skis next time

    Great experience renting out 7-9 passenger boat at their location Carilion Point. Griff explained all the intricacies to us first time boaters and did a wonderful job...thanks! Amazing views of Lake Washington with Kirkland/ Bellevue waterfront. Luckily it was a clear morning so Mt Rainier was majestic as usual. Bit expensive but with a full boat the cost can be shared so it's an outing not to miss!

    Is dog allowed on double kayak?

    Hi there...yes! As long as you are able to control the kayak and navigate safely.

    In which equipment are dogs allowed on?

    Hi Jon...great question! You can have your dog on the 7-9 and 10-12 passenger boats (not the wake boat). The dog's nails need to be clipped short/groomed well and you would be responsible for any seat punctures should they occur. The seats are… Read more

    Great company for paddleboarding! I have been coming to Northwest Paddle Surfers every summer for…read morethe past 4 years or so and they never disappoint! Super easy to book a reservation with them online, and they send you an online waiver to fill out prior to your boarding time, which is nice so you don't have to worry about filling out forms once you're at the park. They did a wonderful job enforcing that masks be worn at the check in/check out, and they took the time to make sure each paddle, life jacket, board was sanitized before the next person used it! They also always do a great job letting you know how the wind is blowing at the time, and which direction you should head towards so that the winds don't push you too far away before you have to paddle all the way back to the marina. Lastly, they always have groupon deals during the summer, making them a VERY affordable company to paddle board with!

Their staff are friendly and generally really young. If it's your first time, they are very helpful in giving you the rundown of paddleboard basics. I suggest going online to Groupon to find deals for paddle board rentals. Once you buy the Groupon, you can go online to their website to reserve the time you wanna go paddleboarding. You can also sign your waiver online or if you forget, you can sign it when you get there. They do a variety of rentals I believe (kayaks as well?) but they do single person paddle boards as well as a big giant one that can fit like a whole family on them!

I did not know that he also kayaks with us on the side because one may easily get lost, especially with the stronger currents off to the opposite end from where you exit from the dock to then start the kayaking journey. Remember to look at the weather before you make a booking. They offer vests here in case you tip over...u will not with Blake there unless you really make an effort to do so. The vests have a place to put your phone in that you can easily unzip so you can take out your phone for pictures. They even provide shades for you, if you did not bring any...like I forgot! Blake does a good job with orienting you to the kayak boat so that you can confidently function in and navigate with it. Would recommend this experience for anyone new to the state so that they can appreciate the beauty of Washington nature and see where else to explore on their off-days

For the skills proficiency test, you need to be able to independently rig, launch, capsize and recover your boat. You will need to also demonstrate sailing both upwind and downwind with tacks and gybes. Check out the calendar for the schedule of free sixty minute refresher classes on weekends from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend. Season passes that include sailboats and kayaks are $230 with student, senior and military discounts available. You can also rent for $35 per hour. Don't sail. No worries. Take out a single or double kayak for $20 per hour. Standup paddle boards and windsurfers are also an option. Such a beautiful lake for water sports with great instructors in Seattle.

He ended up with a horrific second degree sunburn and missed 4 out of 5 days of the camp. That's on us, though a sharp eye on sun safety at the beginning of a week where young kids would be spending full days in direct sunlight would probably have been wise. The really disappointing part was that when I emailed to ask whether he could be fit into another camp later in the summer to make up for the four days he had to miss due to being so badly burned he couldn't even wear a shirt, no one replied. I emailed again, twice, then left a voicemail for the director of youth camps and classes. No reply. It's been 9 days since my first email and I guess we're being ghosted. $500 for one day of camp, and zero communication about whether we could redeem this experience for my horrifically blistered kiddo. Super bummed.
