215LR Stingray ~ Bathroom, Inner Tubing on Lake Washington

Are you considering a boat outing in the Pacific Northwest? Look no further than TJ! We just lost my Dad last year and found out he wanted us to do a memorial boat tour to visit his old hangouts on Lake Union. The difficulty was that our two youngest kids, four and seven years old, were terrified of the idea of getting on a boat, and I very much wanted them to join us on the memorial boat tour. TJ suggested a separate time to come out for the kids to warm up to getting on the boat and going out. I was shocked that they finally got on the boat, even going for a ride! TJ is great with kids and is well prepared for any kind of boat outing. She was very knowledgeable of local sights and history, even providing a map of Lake Washington with sights of interest, for our first outing. She is cheerful, professional and experienced. The boat was very clean and well-stocked. TJ accommodates those just going boating for the first time as well as more seasoned boaters. Our second boat tour was on Lake Union. It went very well for our group of eight. TJ was very patient with us and had everything we needed for a great outing, including life jackets and water-side restaurant recommendations. We ended up going to Ivar's Salmon House. The tour of Lake Union included going through several historic engineered canals, checking out the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks (Ballard Locks), checking out all the modern and hipster house boats as well as other waterside attractions, parks and fascinating maritime industries. We will always cherish our memories made on these special outings! I cannot recommend her enough! Jacob Gabriel, Arlington, WA.

Jason was awesome! He gave us the BEST sailgate experience at a UW game where our boys were touring for a college visit. Just an amazing day! He went out of his way to get us the best spot in Husky Harbor and was so friendly. We will be back!!

Brett is an awesome captain and very knowledgeable. My family and I had a wonderful experience and the best time. We have never been fishing on a boat before and now, after the experience we had, we definitely want to go again. I highly recommend to book with Brett. You won’t regret it!

When we booked our charter with Brett I had no idea what to expect. My brother had requested that his ashes be scattered in Puget Sound near Brown's Point. At the end of the charter, my family all agreed that the scattering was a true tribute to my brother and that Brett was mostly responsible for the charter's success. His knowledge of Puget Sound and his maritime skills were impeccable. His empathy and sharing of events in his life created a closer bond than I thought was possible in three hours. Brett is an excellent conversationalist and his stories about his family, boating, fishing and life in general helped make for a happier day. Although we weren't fishing, it was readily apparent that he could more than hold his own against other fishing captains. I guess in summary we came away very happy and that we were very lucky to have met Brett.

Brett is a former coast guard who has vast knowledge of boating, marine life and history in the area. He shows you how to operate the boat safely as well as some adventures with permission and that are safe. He is a great communicator and has passion for people as well as water. I would go again with him.

We had the BEST time on Brett's boat! His boat is beautiful, it is plenty of room for four people and is an excellent vessel for any kind of fishing. He answered all of our questions and made us feel safe on the trip. We caught two dogfish and a cod but we also saw seals, jellyfish and a bald eagle. I cannot recommend this charter it was one of our best experiences since moving to Washington.
