Summer is boating season in Washington. And fortunately, you don’t have to be a boat owner to enjoy jetting around your nearest body of water. From houseboats to fishing charters and hot tub boats, you can have all kinds of aquatic experiences here. And if you’re looking for something scenic, fun, and perfectly low-key, you’ll love Seattle’s Electric Boat Company.

Rain or shine, you can take up to 12 people out on the lake in a heated Duffy boat, taking in the views of the Seattle skyline.

Choose from a standard 10-seater Duffy boat or the fancier luxury model, which can seat 12. The boat rentals are most popular in the summer, but you can rent them all year long.
The Electric Boat Company is located on Westlake Avenue North, on the docks of Lake Union.

There's no experience necessary to operate an electric boat. You must be over the age of 25 and watch a brief safety video, but the boats themselves are quite easy to operate.
Have each guest pitch in and bring some snacks or drinks... or better yet, add on a catering package for an additional fee.

The team will work with you to create the perfect food and beverage menu for your group.
