Seattle’s Most Popular Boating Experiences
Although the weather can be very fickle in the Pacific Northwest, Seattle offers a wide range of boating activities if you are out on the water on a gorgeous day. These are the three most popular Seattle boat rental experiences that you can have.
Cruise Around the Seattle Area
With the Olympic Mountains and Mount Rainier appearing in the distance, the scenery and wildlife in the Pacific Northwest area are truly world-class. Sail through Portage bay and Lake Union to get some picturesque views of the downtown Seattle skyline. If you travel to South Lake Union, you may even spot a few Seattle houseboats!
Check Out the Orcas
Whale watching is a common activity in Seattle. These majestic creatures can often be spotted very close to your boat, and if you've seen them in the movies, trust us, they're far superior in person.
Explore Bell Harbor Marina
This is the best recreational marina to dock your Seattle boat rental and explore the restaurants and other Pike Place Market attractions. There are dozens of paths, piers,shops, and the waterfront is ideal for absorbing the local scene. Grab a table at any of the seafood restaurants for a memorable Seattle dinner.
Seattle’s Best Bodies of Water
Poulsbo and Port Orchard
When you rent a boat in Seattle, you can sail from Puget Sound into Liberty Bay's calm, protected waters in Poulsbo, also known as Little Norway on the Fjord. You can also take one of our fishing boat rentals to Port Orchard, a maritime village that offers fantastic salmon fishing opportunities. You might even see aircraft carriers or submarines gliding through the Sinclair Inlet.
Beautiful Bainbridge Island
Bainbridge has ornate landscaped gardens and trails in the Bloedel Reserve. Nearby, the coastal Fay Bainbridge Park and Campground feature beaches with striking views of the Cascade Mountains and Puget Sound. It is easy to sail out to the island, where there is a protected harbor to dock your Seattle boat rental.
