The Electric Boat Company

i recommend checking the weather before you go. i didn’t, and it rained on my trip! a little rain can be fun, but i wish i’d packed a waterprooof jacket.

If you can, aim to be there around 9 AM. You’ll have more options for boat types and get the best views of the city while it’s still calm and quiet.

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The boats have coolers, and why pay extra for snacks when you can bring your favorite ones along?
Lake Union Hot Tub Boats

My advice is to really pay attention to the safety briefing before you start. I didn't, and I almost knocked over the hot tub while adjusting the heater!

I recommend bringing a cooler with snacks and drinks. It saves you money and makes lounging in the hot tub even better!

I suggest checking the weather the day before. It might be sunny, but that can change quickly. Bring layers just in case.
Hot Tub Boats

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The prices for extras on board can really add up fast, so save some bucks and enjoy your own treats instead.
If you're driving parking can be a pain. I recommend arriving at least 30 minutes early to find a good spot and avoid the hassle.

I recommend booking the boat in advance, especially on weekends. I tried to walk in and ended up waiting forever. Early birds catch the best time slots!
Underground Seattle

My advice is to bring some snacks; the tour can take a couple of hours and I got super hungry halfway through. Plus, there aren’t many food options around right after!

I recommend checking the weather before you head down there; it was drizzling when I went, and the streets up top were a bit slippery. Bring a light jacket just in case!

You should def buy your tickets online in advance. The line can get pretty long, and I wasted about 30 minutes waiting, which could've been spent exploring!

Try to catch the 1:30 PM tour if you can. The tour guide was really engaging, and I overheard that the later tours can feel a bit rushed. Also, take your time in the gift shop after!
Northwest Outdoor Center

Don't forget to bring snacks and water! I was famished halfway through and the on-site cafe is a bit pricey. Pack your own and save some cash!

I recommend checking the weather before you go! I went on a cloudy day and it started raining, which kinda dampened the fun. Look for sunny days, if you can.
If you're planning to kayak try to arrive around 9 AM. You'll avoid the crowds and get the best selection of boats before everyone else shows up.

My advice is to book your rental online... It saves time when you arrive, plus you can often find online discounts that make it cheaper
Let's Go Sailing

Hey, if you're planning to sail with kids, bring some snacks and games. It kept mine entertained while we enjoyed the views!

I suggest checking the weather the day before your trip. A little wind can make for a great sailing experience, but rain might not be as fun!

I think it's worth asking the staff for local tips about hidden spots to explore during your sailing trip; they know the best places to anchor for swimming or relaxing
Urban Surf

My advice is to bring your own towel and snacks to save cash. The place has a cute café, but prices can add up really quickly.

I think it's smart to book your sessions online ahead of time, especially on weekends. It gets pretty crowded, and you don't want to miss out!

If you're new to surfing, I recommend taking a lesson first thing in the morning around 9 AM. The waves are calmer, and you get better instructions with fewer people.
Seattle Sailing Club

I suggest booking a sunset sailing tour if you can. The views are magical, and it really makes the experience special. Just make sure to reserve in advance since they fill up quick!

My advice is to bring along some snacks and drinks. The sailing can get a bit long and it’s nice to have something to munch on while enjoying the scenery.
Miyar Adventures

I suggest booking your session during weekdays, it's way less crowded. I went on a Saturday and had to wait ages before I could start. Weekdays are way more chill.

I recommend bringing your own gear if you have it. Rental prices add up quickly and I wish I'd packed my own stuff. It's totally worth the hassle!
Alpine Ascents International

If you're renting gear, my advice is to check their rental prices online first. Some items can be pricey, and you might find better deals elsewhere in Seattle.

I recommend booking your courses at least a few weeks in advance to snag a spot especially for popular classes. They fill up fast and you'll save yourself some stress!
