Free boat rides every Sunday rain or shine! Sign ups start at 10:00 am and first boats go out about 12:00pm with last boats heading out at 4:00pm. As always, the coffee is on and it's also free.

More than 100 historical boats are docked here & you can climb aboard to learn all about their history from a well-informed staff. Talk to craftspeople currently restoring many classic wooden boats.

Free wooden boat rides at 2:00 p.m. on Sundays. Show up starting at 10:00 a.m. to sign up – spaces go quickly. Great vantage point to watch the seaplanes take off and land! Read more

Beautiful vantage point for South Lake Union, especially at sunset. The boats and boat workshop add interesting features. Need to go back and explore more!

Learn to Sail at Off-Season rates 50% off normal rate $400. That's a 2 hr shore school with 6 on the water lessons for $200. You have no reason not to SailNOW! Tell them Capt Jack sent you :-)

Get here at 9:30 on Sunday's! Came right at 10 and there was a huge line and only wait list spots left

The Sunday afternoon boat rides are easily the coolest free activity in Seattle. If you're prone to sunburn ask the rental booth and they'll let you use their sunblock.

Let the kids climb aboard the rotating fleet of boats tied up at the docks and learn about maritime arts or rent a rowboat and take the whole family around the lake.Powered by ParentsConnect.com Read more
