Charter Discovery for private celebrations, intimate gatherings, boat tours, and fully customized sightseeing cruises on Seattle’s iconic Lake Union and Lake Washington. Perfect for special occasions or simply an unforgettable day on the water, Discovery offers a timeless setting and a relaxed, refined way to experience the city from a new perspective. You should allow at least 3 hours for a Seattle lakes cruise. Discovery can accommodate small groups with a maximum of 12 guests.

Settle in and enjoy a leisurely cruise across the scenic waters of Lake Union and Lake Washington as both locals and visitors discover Seattle from a fresh vantage point. Glide past the city’s historic floating home communities, including the famous houseboat featured in Sleepless in Seattle, while taking in ever-changing skyline views. Depending on your interests, your cruise may include a visit to the Ballard Locks—where boats transition between freshwater and Puget Sound—before continuing through the Montlake Cut, passing Husky Stadium, and entering the expansive beauty of Lake Washington.

Once on Lake Washington, the scenery opens to reveal sweeping views of Mount Rainier on clear days and an up-close look at stunning waterfront estates belonging to some of Seattle’s most notable residents. Throughout the journey, guests are invited to step into the wheelhouse to meet the captain, ask questions, and hear firsthand stories of the yacht’s restoration and the many adventures that have shaped Discovery into the remarkable classic she is today.
