The Electric Boat Company — Attraction in Seattle

I've recently had the opportunity to rent a boat from The Electric Boat Company & was blown away by the ease of rental, customer service and overall experience.

After booking online, I drove down to the Electric Boat Company & was pleased to find a huge parking lot with an abundance of parking, which was free on weekends & after 4 PM.

Once parked, I walked over to the Electric Boat Company, down the stairs & was greeted by the front desk manager, Brian, who put this first time boater of Lake Union at ease. He immediately took my payment, walked myself over to the safety protocols and made sure my group made it out to the docks on time.

Next on the docks, we were pointed to over to the dock manager, Tyler. Tyler helped us board the luxury boat with seating for 10. Once onboard, I was impressed with the size of the boat which had plenty of room for adult beverages & food, which you can bring at no charge - which helps bring down the overall costs of a fun afternoon.

Pulling out of the docks for the 2 hour cruise was a breeze, it was easy to navigate Lake Union especially with the curated audio tour, which was easy listening pointing out all of the sites and sounds and as it was an electric boat - it was pretty easy to handle.

After 2 hours of fun & sun, we pulled back into the docks with Tyler who helped us get off the boat & grab our remaining items. For a group of 10 to go out on a sunny day on Lake Union for about $30 a person with the ability to bring our own food/drink, it was an absolute steal especially with a glass of house wine going for $10+ in Seattle.

I'll definitely be back this summer on Lake Union to enjoy another day of fun & sun with this...

These guys were awesome. We popped in, unannounced, a few hours before closing. My boyfriend and I wanted one of their less expensive boats but the owner was hesitant because it'd already been taken out that day (and may not have been fully charged). They gave us a much nicer boat at the price of the original, which was more than a 50% discount, which was awesome because they seemed to make the change for our safety/convenience, and they're really reasonably priced to begin with.

Everyone was extremely friendly and charismatic- very welcoming. We were lucky enough to take "everyone's favorite", the Johnny 5, and we had a marvelous time! She/he was easy to steer, relatively silent, and had a stereo/aux system and movable table with cupholders.

I really appreciated how they didn't make us pay for an hour and a half of sailing time because of some half hour orientation, as I've experienced with other companies. We got a five minute easy-to-understand rundown before the clock started, and they were somewhat flexible with the return time as well. This makes me feel like they're an honest company.

Wouldn't recommend anyone else!! Definitely going again.

Update: Been at least a dozen times since then! Still an...

This was my third time planning a team event with the Electric Boat Company. It's such a unique experience and always a hit with the team!

Their staff are easy to work with, responding quickly and with patience with my many questions and adjustments. They are very helpful and are great partners in planning.

Also, their catering is great! I wasn't sure what to expect but we usually get the fruit, charcuterie, vegetable, and dessert trays and they're beautiful and overflowing with a great variety of food.

My favorite part of the electric boat company is that they think of everything - down to forks/cups/napkins, coolers with ice, and wine and snacks for purchase in the office - in case you forget anything. Also captains hats!

Bluetooth speakers and recycle bins on the boat are nice touches.

Parking is easy in a big lot out front - and very affordable.

The bathrooms are clean and indoors - another worry for the group because we didn't know what to expect from a bathroom on the dock. Totally ok! Better than ok.

Two hours was totally enough for our event, though we could have gone longer since we were having a good time.

Highly recommend for work, or any events. I'm already looking forward to next year's...
