Can I bring my pet?
Due to our various food preparation permits, we are unable to invite pets onboard with the exception of service animals. If you bring a service animal, you may be asked: Is the animal required because of a disability? This is a yes or no question. You are not required to, nor can you be asked to disclose the nature or details of the disability. If the animal is not required because of a disability, then it will not be permitted. What is the nature of the work or task(s) that the animal is trained to perform? This question will not be asked if the nature of the work or task is readily apparent, such as a Seeing Eye dog. If the animal is not trained to perform specific work or tasks to assist the individual because of a disability, then it will not be permitted.
What is the smoking policy?
Per Washington State law, all of our vessels are non-smoking and non-vaping, including on the outer decks.
Do you sail in inclement weather?
Absolutely. Our ships are fully enclosed and climate-controlled for your comfort. We sail rain or shine all year long. Captains may adjust routes to best manage conditions during sailing.
Will I get seasick?
It is highly unlikely. Our boats sail in the calm waters of the inner harbor of Elliott Bay as well as the protected waters of Lake Union and Lake Washington. We do not go out into open ocean water. Weather conditions and the wakes of large vessels can move our boats about, something which our captains are prepared to accommodate for during sailings
