About Darien
“Hi, I’m Darien! I’m a Seattle-area boat owner with over seven years of boating experience. I currently own both a 40-foot yacht and this 21-foot Sea Ray, so I’ve spent plenty of time operating everything from larger cruisers to smaller, sportier boats. I love being out on Lake Washington and Lake Union and enjoy helping others have a great day on the water—whether that’s cruising, tubing, anchoring with friends, or just relaxing and enjoying the views. I keep my boats clean, well maintained, and ready to go. I’ll also make sure you get a clear walkthrough before departure and am always happy to share local tips or answer any questions. My goal is to make your booking easy, comfortable, and memorable from start to finish.”

We had a great time renting from Darien! The boat was perfect for our family trip and birthday celebration. He was easy to communicate with, responsive, and we really appreciated the great service. Would definitely rent from him again!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Darien and his boat. From meeting him in the morning at the dock, to returning the boat at the end of the day, to refueling, everything went so smoothly and the boat itself is in fantastic shape. Definitely one of our top tier experiences on Boatsetter. Would highly recommend booking a day on his Sea Ray if it's available. Thanks again Darian!!

We had a wonderful time. Darien was very responsive and helpful and the boat was clean, well equipped and easy to drive. Our group of eight had a blast tubing on the lake. I would highly recommend.

My friends and I had a great time taking Darien's boat out for an evening on Lake Washington! Meeting up with Darien in Kirkland was easy, and he gave a quick but comprehensive overview of the boat. (I'm a boater, so just needed boat-specific info.) The boat was clean, spacious, bluetooth worked great. We had a blast. Thanks, Darien!

Darien was a great host, awesome and quick communications. Kids had a great time on the big green tube (which looked to be near brand new and was very fun).

Great experience! Boat was perfect for two families, the private dock made load/unload super easy, and everything went very smoothly.
