Captain Amy--great job!
Dee_S, Sep 2021
Four of us were in Seattle from San Antonio, celebrating my husband's birthday over Labor Day weekend. Amy was an excellent captain, ensuring we had all the safety information and then we were totally in relax mode as her passengers. The lake was pretty busy with yachts, rowboats, paddle-boarders, kayaks--you name it. Lots of friendly waves from passersby. The weather was perfect, a sunny day in the low 70s. It was a spectacular way to spend the day!
Great experience!

It was amazing, I love everything about it. It was a perfect experience and we will do it again. Please send me more events.
Great excursion anyone can enjoy
Ron_H, Jun 2021
Dillon was great host. I've lived in Seattle for 40yrs, and it was really fun to get his historical perspective on lake union that I'd never known. He was also really good about "reading the room" by giving us room to connect as a family on his boat, and be attentive when appropriate. Highly recommend.
