While we can all agree that cruising around a beautiful lake on a boat with some of our dearest friends can be heavenly, we must also admit that boat ownership can be quite the hassle, not to mention incredibly expensive. The next best thing is to rent a boat for a few hours, enjoy it to the fullest, then return it and be on our way. And we recommend the Electric Boat Company for doing just that.

Located at 2046 Westlake Ave North on the shores of Lake Union in Seattle, the Electric Boat Company has a safe fleet of boats available for rent -- and you're the captain.

Just reserve your boat online, show up a few minutes early to learn the ropes and the rules, and be on your merry way.
The Electric Boat Company offers both Standard and Luxury boats, and they're both exceptional.

The Standard boats can comfortably seat 10 people, while the slightly more spacious Luxury boats can accommodate 12.
You and your party will have free reign to cruise around the massive lake until your scheduled return.

And we guarantee you've never seen the Seattle skyline like this.
One of the highlights of the experience is cruising past the Lake Union houseboats, including the houseboat used in "Sleepless in Seattle."

You'll also get a unique view of Gas Works Park and the Fremont neighborhood.
