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.

We did Seafair with TJ and it was awesome! Her boat was a great layout and she had floaties that connected so we could all hang out together on the water. She even had an extra umbrella the front of the boat to keep us shaded, plus other accoutrements to keep us comfortable throughout the day. It was super easy to communicate and coordinate the whole time and TJ was so helpful and accommodating even when we had day-before schedule changes. Highly recommend chartering with TJ if you have the chance!
TJ is amazing -- she sets the bar for providing an incredible boating experience on Lake Washington. She is a great communicator, her boat is phenomenal and she takes care of every detail you can imagine -- cooler with ice, drinks, gas covered, etc. Just show up and have fun! Thanks TJ -- you know we'll be back!

High quality experience! We had a great time renting TJ’s boat. Both pickup and drop off were smooth, professional, and prompt. The boat was kept in perfect shape and she had thought of everything - extra sunscreen, sunglasses, drinks, etc. Next time I need to rent a boat, TJ will be the first person I reach out to.
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.
Providing excellent service, comfort and memorable boating experiences are my Passion! I am a USCG Certified Charter Captain with my OUPV. While attending the University of Washington I learned to sail and then taught sailing through the Washington Yacht Club for many years. As our family grew, the thrill of power boating, and the immensely fun memories made while pulling innertubes around Lake Washington, became our favorite weekend activity. I cherish the ability to help others create these kinds of memories for their friends and family! Step onboard and watch your cares float away, your phones disappear (other than for taking photos of course) and your smiles and laughter return! Whether you choose a lake-day adventure that is Captained or prefer to take the helm bareboat style, I look forward to connecting with you to make your days on the water the absolute best they can be! Welcome Aboard!
