13 places to rent a boat in and around Seattle—for cheap

Get out on the water

There’s an old saying among boaty types: “A boat is a hole in the water into which you throw money.” But when Pacific Northwest weather is behaving, there’s no better place to be than out on the water, whether you’re in a kayak, a canoe, a sailboat, or even a paddleboard.

Fortunately, there are plenty of opportunities to get out on the water while leaving boat maintenance to the experts, no matter what skill level you have in watercraft. Bonus: Most purveyors of boaty experiences also have classes for those who are a little nervous to get on the water.

Whether you’re looking to paddle out among the lily pads near the arboretum on Lake Washington, cruise past Gas Works Park by Lake Union , or get out on the the Puget Sound, here are 13 boat rental options from Sand Point to Seward Park —largely human-powered.

Map points are ordered north to south.

Sail Sand Point

North End folks can get out on Lake Washington with Sail Sand Point, which offers rentals for kayaking, paddleboarding, sailboating, and windsurfing—plus classes and camps in all of the above. Rentals start at $18 an hour , and some rentals require a skills test.

Woodmark Waterfront Adventures

Part of Kirkland’s Carillon Point resort, Waterfront Adventures will rent human-powered watercraft for pretty standard rates—starting at $19 an hour for a paddleboard or one-person kayak. It also rents out motorboats and jetskis, but the price range is much steeper (and probably falls out of the “cheap” category), at up to $189 an hour during peak season.

Agua Verde Café and Paddle Club

A post shared by Agua Verde Paddle Club (@aguaverdepaddleclub) on Mar 3, 2018 at 10:14am PST

Hot Tub Boat Rentals Seattle

More into relaxing on the water than athletic pursuits? Hot Tub Boats are literally what they sound like: hot tubs that are boats. The rental is a little steep—$350 for the first two hours—but ideally you split it with five of your closest friends.

A post shared by Hot Tub Boats (@hottubboats) on Jan 15, 2018 at 11:56am PST

Located on sheltered Lake Union waters, Moss Bay rents out paddleboards, kayaks, and sailboats starting at $15 an hour for a kayak. Adventurers can rent kayaks to take away, too—or those starting out can take lessons.

A post shared by Marty Makes It Better (@dooditsmarty) on Sep 5, 2017 at 10:08am PDT

The Center for Wooden Boats

Center for Wooden Boats has facilities both on Lake Union and at Cama Beach, a state park with beachfront cabin rentals . Also a museum, it’s a great place to go to learn about the Northwest’s boating history—or just rent a sailboat, rowboat, canoe, or kayak from some serious experts. Rentals range from $35 for double kayaks to $65 for a large sailboat, and CWB offers classes , too.

A post shared by The Center for Wooden Boats (@centerforwoodenboats) on Mar 29, 2018 at 5:00pm PDT

Alki Kayak Tours

This rental service in West Seattle has a little bit of everything: kayaks and paddleboards starting at $20 an hour or $90 per day, or fishing boat rentals starting at $50 an hour if you want something gas-powered. If you need extra guidance, classes start at $79 , and tours are available , too.

It also rents skates, bikes, skateboards, and longboards for those looking for more of a beach boardwalk experience.

A post shared by Alki Kayak Tours (@alkikayaktours) on Jul 14, 2014 at 5:07pm PDT

A post shared by Stephon Johnson (@stephongj) on Jul 15, 2018 at 3:53pm PDT

Northwest Paddle Surfers

With locations in Seattle, Kirkland, and Lacey, Northwest Paddle Surfers’s main thing is paddleboards ($25 an hour at the Seattle location by Adams Boat Ramp), but kayaks are available, too ($25 an hour for a single kayak at the Juanita Beach location).

Rent a Boat in Seattle

The combination of wildlife encounters and exquisite scenery plus renowned food, culture, and events, put Seattle at the forefront of our top boating destinations list. Seattle’s Elliot Bay opens into Puget Sound , offering all the sights the Pacific Northwest has to offer. But don’t forget two of the region’s boating gems: Lake Union and Lake Washington.

What To Know

The most popular boat rental styles in Seattle include:

Bowriders, which are ideal for your typical summer boat day in the Puget Sound or any of the area’s nearby lakes, allowing for versatility whether you’re ready for watersports, dock-and-dining, or general day cruising.

Cruisers are also a hot commodity, particularly for night boating or cooler days in the fall. They also are able to hold more passengers to accommodate bachelorette/bachelor parties, or company outings.

Trawlers and houseboats are also widely popular in the Pacific Northwest, with houseboats filling up many of Seattle’s marinas. Trawlers are great for long-distance cruising north to the San Juan Islands or into the Salish Sea leading into the Pacific Ocean.

Only experienced boaters will want to try long-distance or overnight cruising to the San Juan Islands or beyond. Be sure to communicate with the boat’s owner to plan your own rental itinerary and ask for local recommendations for each of Seattle’s popular bodies of water.

Safety Requirements:

Boating License/Education Rules : Washington residents born after January 1, 1955 who operate vessels with 15-horsepower or higher, must carry a Washington Boater Education Card and be over 14 years of age or older in order to operate a boat or personal watercraft (PWCs).

Life Jacket Requirements : Children ages 12 and under must wear a PFD.

For more information, visit the Washington State Recreation & Conservation Office .

Where to dock your boat, or meet your rental:

Mohai Play Field

Sunnyside Boat Ramp

14th Ave NW Boat Ramp

Fisherman's Terminal Marina

Lake Union Piers

Weather Conditions

Seattle summers are the best time to be out on the water, while the rest of the year is typically much colder and rainy. Keep in mind, the year-round water temperatures are a bit cooler than what most boaters might expect. The wet winter season runs from October through March, but does present some opportunities for anglers who participate in the winter salmon season (blackmouth) from January to the end of March.

Avg. Temperature High : Peaks around 80°F in August

Avg. Temperature Low : Around 36-42°F during winter months, from November through April.

Avg. Water Temperatures in and around Seattle :

48°F in the Spring (April, May, June)

53°F in the Summer (July, August, September)

50°F in Fall (October, November)

44°F in Winter (December, January, February, March)

Things to Do in Seattle by Boat

Cruise to Bell Harbor Marina

The marina isn’t just a place to dock; it’s a jumping-off point for a huge list of Seattle sights and destinations. Grab lunch or dinner at Anthony’s, take a stroll along the water, or just admire the view. Located in the Port of Seattle, boaters can dock and head inland to check out Pike Place Market, the Seattle Aquarium, the Space Needle, and much more.

Pro Tip : Every February, Bell Harbor Marina and Pier 66 play host to the Seattle Boat Show, taking place both indoors and on the docks, featuring new boats for sale, educational seminars, and pop-up shops.

Location : Google Maps Link

Docking and moorage fees : Guest moorage is available year-round for vessels up to 170’. Prices vary depending on boat size and style, but powerboats under 50’ can expect to pay $2.06/ft/per day on Mon-Thurs during peak season (June - Sept.), and $2.18/ft/per day year-round on the weekends. Save on docking rates by booking a reservation at least 24-hours in advance.

Lat/Long : 47.6106° N, 122.3485° W

‘Locking Through’ the Ballard Locks

Special Note: This adventure is for experienced boaters only—talk to your boat owner first or book with a professional captain! The Ballard (Hiram M. Chittenden) Locks are a popular Seattle attraction and a historic site operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that connect Salmon Bay to Shilshole Bay. As one of the busiest locking systems in the U.S., both the large and small lock chambers are open 24/7, and during the peak summer season can expect to be packed full of boaters—from sailors to powerboaters, large tug boats, and even kayaks.

Pro Tip : Keep an eye on the water levels, as the water can drop dramatically—almost three stories—at low tide. Likewise, the small lock chamber (100ft long and 26ft wide) is the easiest area to navigate, as you can tie up to the side walls to make your pass through.

Location :  Google Maps Link

Closest marinas : Lockhaven Marina, Seaborn Marina, McGinnis Marina, or Stimson Marina.

Lat/Long : 47.6655° N, 122.3972° W

Go Salmon Fishing

Seattle is known worldwide for its  salmon fisheries , particularly in Puget Sound. Top salmon species include blackmouth, chinook, chum, coho, pink, and sockeye.  Booking a fishing charter can help less experienced anglers navigate the local waterways, and help uncover some of the prime hot spots, including: Possession Sound, President Point, Point No Point, and Double Bluff. For the best chance at hooking your first salmon, stick to areas where there are strong currents and fast-moving bodies of water colliding to force baitfish together.

Pro Tip : Warmer-weather months are the go-to season for salmon fishing, but anglers will want to keep a close eye on local regulations that change from year-to-year. 

Other target species : Halibut, lingcod, steelhead trout

Seasonality : June through September is peak season, while blackmouth, juvenile king, and chum salmon can be caught later in the season until late fall or even during winter months.

Boat selection : Walkaround boats, pilothouse boats, aluminum fishing boats, and bay boats.

Where to Go Boating in Seattle

Puget Sound

Boaters coming from Seattle, Olympia, Tacoma, Everett and other surrounding cities flock to Puget Sound to enjoy breathtaking views of snow-capped Mt. Rainier, and to explore untouched nature and wildlife at its finest within the northwestern island chains and peninsulas. Puget Sound is a popular entryway for long-distance cruisers looking to explore the San Juan Islands, located just north and bordering Victoria, Canada. 

Moorage : If you’re coming from downtown Seattle, try one of the northernmost marinas, Shilshole Bay Marina or Elliott Bay Marina, for easy access to Puget Sound.

Wake zone : Yes - also keep an eye out for navigational buoys directing marine traffic.

Pro Tips : Calmer waters can be found in the southern end of the sound, while the northern area’s sea conditions can change dramatically depending on the weather.

Hours : Ready for exploration at any time of the year, the best time to visit Puget Sound is just before or after summer (May, June, September or October), as to avoid the bustling tourist season in the summer.

Lat/Long : 47.7237° N, 122.4713° W

Google Maps Link

Lake Union is located just north of downtown Seattle, which makes it one of the best places to enjoy what this city is most known for: Its local waters and natural spaces, and the culture. The center of the lake happens to be a busy seaplane takeoff and landing zone throughout the summer months, so be conscious of the zoned buoys and flashing lights. Boaters can also enjoy great views of the Space Needle, while history buffs can dock up to visit the Museum of History and Industry or the Center for Wooden Boats—both located in the southern end of the lake.

Moorage : The shores of Lake Union are lined with countless marinas and landings available long-term or short-term dockage. Check the northeastern and northwestern areas for the most options.

Wake zone : Yes - boaters should also familiarize themselves with Lake Union’s “#MindTheZone” campaign before navigating the area without a captain, and keep an eye out for flashing white buoys that designate the seaplane landing zones between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Pro Tips : On the north end of the lake, located minutes away from any moorage, explore an old Gas Works Park, where you can have a picnic in the grass, or just enjoy the view of seaplanes taking off and landing in Lake Union.

Hours : Be ready for crowded waterways on big holiday or event weekends, including “Opening Day” taking place in early May at the Montlake Cut, the Fourth of July, and the Seafair Weekend Festival.

Lat/Long : 47.6396° N, 122.3333° W

Lake Washington

Located between Seattle and Bellevue, Lake Washington is the second largest natural lake in the state which connects to Puget Sound through Lake Union. The lake is primed for family boating adventures such as watersports, fishing, and swimming, but couples will want to make time in their itinerary to stop at Carillon Point or the Kirkland Marina Docks to grab a romantic dinner and do some shopping.

Moorage : Short-term anchorage is available in Andrews Bay and marked by two buoys showing the letter “A” on the northwest and southwest corners. Other popular marinas include Lakewood Moorage and the North Lake Marina.

Wake zone : Yes - speed regulations of 7-knots (8-MPH) are in place within 100-yards of shore, docks, bridges or other fixed objects. In Andrews Bay, the speed limit is 3-knots. During the Seafair races, Lake Washington from the I-90 floating bridge to Seward park is a no-wake zone.

Pro Tips : Lake Washington’s 1.5 miles of shoreline is host to Seattle’s infamous Seafair Weekend Festival, taking place annually each August. Be sure to book your boat rentals early for this event, and get ready to enjoy the best on-water view of the airshow featuring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels.

Hours : Scuba diving is restricted to daylight hours only and divers must deploy a dive flag. Water skiing is also prohibited within 100-yards of shore or fixed objects.

Lat/Long : 47.6215° N, 122.2558° W

Dock-and-Dine in Seattle

Waterfront dining is the norm in Seattle, especially during the summer months. Whether you're boating on Elliot Bay, Lake Washington, or Lake Union, you'll have plenty of dockside restaurants to choose from, including a few of the most popular local spots listed below:

27' Maxum with Full Enclosure in Seattle

Brian responded immediately to my post, communicated clearly, departed the boat on time and fully engaged us with great conversations and education of the area we were sailing. He was friendly and connected with us immediately. Because of him, I was able to give a great gift of exploring Lake Union and Lake Washington to my wife for her birthday. He is a great find and we will rent with him again.

August, 2023

This was our first boat ride on Lake Union and Lake Washington and we had a great time! The sunset ride was definitely a vibe. Captain Mike is a very chill, cool guy and he was good with communication. Do yourself a favor and go check him and his boat out!

Communication was quick! Captain Mike made us feel welcomed and at home, as soon as we arrived. His boat is also bigger in person! Lots of room and storage. The boat is also equipped with Bluetooth speakers 👌🏽Give him your business and you get more in return!

The boat is really nice and comfortable. Its new and has many good features like good and ample seating, additional board to sit on at the rear end, multiple can holders, wireless charging. Also the captain Mike, is really good and flexible with arrangements and touring. Overall us friends had a amazing experience on this new boat.

September, 2023

Captain Dan was the best! He saved the day last minute when my original captain canceled due to engine issues. It was raining but had the whole boat covered up so we were plenty warm! The surround system was great and there was plenty of space for tons of food. I’m definitely booking this boat again and will do karaoke next time. Everyone had the best time and highly recommend Dan if you want a guaranteed fun time!

TJ is an absolute pleasure to work with. The boats are always great, with little treats ready for us as we board, and paperwork all lined up to make the launch quick and easy. Communication is fast and clear - we'll certainly be renting from her again.

The log boom of Seattle’s Seafair weekend is a giant on-water boat party. Hundreds of boaters tie up to anchored logs for a celebration on their boats, giving them a chance to meet other boaters and get great views of the hydroplane show that takes place over the water.

The best time of year to see whales on a whale-watching tour in Seattle depends on what types of whales you want to see.

Whale watching tour prices vary in Seattle, but you can typically find group tours for about $70-$100 for adults and $50 for kids for a 3-4 hour tour. You can book private boat tours for a higher price if that’s your preferred method of whale watching.

While it is possible to occasionally see dolphins in Puget Sound , it’s not common to find them in the cold waters of the Pacific Northwest. You can see whales and orcas in the waters of Puget Sound year-round.

5 famous foods you can get your hands on while exploring the waters around Seattle:

1) The Crab Pot – Located right next door at Pier 57, this popular eatery specializes in fresh-caught Alaskan King crab legs served with melted butter and all sorts of sides like coleslaw or potatoes au gratin. Or enjoy their deliciously hearty fish ‘n chips made from cod fillets fried golden brown and served alongside tartar sauce—all created using traditional recipes passed down through generations since 1965!

2) Pike Place Fish Market - Established over 100 years ago as a purveyor for local fishermen selling lots off boats that pulled up into port directly across from where they now stand today; This market provides visitors an opportunity not only witness but also purchase freshly caught salmon (and other varieties), along with smoked salmon products such as lox & bagels or even sushi grade tuna poke bowls topped w/ avocado & seaweed salad.

3) The Fisherman’s Restaurant and Bar - This family-owned waterfront establishment has been a local favorite since 1939, offering up delicious seafood dishes like fish tacos served with an array of fixings as well as other classic favorites like their famous clam chowder or fried oyster sandwiches! Boaters can enjoy the view while dining on freshly caught delights right off the boat in addition to great drinks provided by their full service bar.

4) Elliott's Oyster House – With its stunning views overlooking Elliot Bay just steps away from Pike Place Market; this popular spot is renowned for serving some of Seattle's freshest, most succulent selections including wild Pacific Northwest shellfish varieties such as Dungeness crab legs alongside regional specialties like cedar planked salmon broiled w/lemon butter sauce + roasted garlic mashed potatoes, all presented beautifully upon arrival at your table!

5) Ivar’s Acres Of Clams - Since 1938 Ivar Haglund had been providing folks with fresh clams harvested daily from Puget Sound and prepared according to his own secret recipes—ranging from steamed pots loaded with littleneck clams cooked over wine & butter topped w/ crispy bits of bacon, to creamy chowders & gumbos. All of which have become synonymous w/ Ivar’s legendary seafood restaurant and can now be enjoyed from boats cruising around the harbor!

No matter what type of cuisine you are looking for, Seattle has something delectable waiting on its dockside eateries that is sure to satisfy any appetite—all accessible by boat so don't miss out on these delicious food spots when in town!

Lake Washington: A Gorgeous Sight to Behold

Lake Washington is a large freshwater lake located in Seattle. It's the second largest natural lake and one of the most beautiful sights to behold in all of Puget Sound. This body of water stretches for over 22 miles (35 km) between Lake Union on its west side and Mercer Island on its east side with many smaller islands scattered throughout.

The beauty that lies within this vast expanse offers visitors plenty to do when they come out by boat or kayak; from paddling around small coves, fishing along shorelines filled with wildlife such as otters and bald eagles, enjoying dinner cruises at sunset — there’s something here for everyone!

As you explore further into these waters you will find some amazing views including Mount Rainier in the distance which can be seen peeking through clouds – it truly makes for an awe-inspiring sight amidst nature's splendor.

Getting down onto Lake Washington by boat is very easy - thanks largely due to convenient marinas dotting both sides of the lake like Juanita Bay Park Marina & Boat Launch off Kirkland/Juanita Beach Road NW near Kenmore Air Harbor Seaplane Base on Northshore area just north Seattle City Limits line where launching craft are free, or Seward Park on Lake Washington’s south-east corner with its expansive boating access point.

The lake offers a variety of activities for all ages; one of the most popular is fishing - there are plenty of spots to cast your line! The larger open areas have species like salmon and trout while small coves can provide some great bass action in season as well as panfish such as bluegill and perch throughout other times. If you're looking for more exciting aquatic experiences then why not try out water skiing? With so much room available this activity will be sure to get those adrenaline levels up!

You could even take part in sailing regattas that happen around different parts during various months – make sure keep an eye out (or ear) when near any marinas nearby because they might just announce something special happening soon too! Moving away from these waters would mean missing what could possible become one's favorite experience yet: simply floating atop crystal clear waters, watching stunning views pass by, including Seattle skyline at dusk set against orange skies above Cascade Mountain range — it doesn't get better than that does it? So if you ever find yourself within vicinity, don't hesitate before heading down toward beautiful Lake Washington via boat rental instead–you'll be glad you did!
