We offer scenic and full meal cruises, with every cruise being custom tailored to the needs and desires of our guests. While we do provide a medley of hors d’ oeuvres and non-alcoholic beverages as part of every cruise, you may choose to add a meal for an extra fee. (see menu) You are always welcome to bring your choice of wine or beer on board. We do not charge a corkage or service fee.
Lake Union Cruise
Tour Lake Union, going close in to the thriving houseboat communities. We might even sneak over to Portage Bay for a quick look before returning to Lake Union where we sometimes just float out in the middle of the lake and watch seaplanes, paddle boards, and other boats.
(Suggested time, 2 hours, $325.00)
Ship Canal Cruise
This cruise starts in Lake Union, heads west, up the ship canal, and into the heart of the fishing and working boat community. You will see tugs and huge dry docks where large vessels are repaired. Including some of the boats from the TV show, “The Deadliest Catch”.
(Suggested time, 2 hours, $325.00)
Classic Lake Washington Cruise
We start in Lake Union, home of the famous Sleepless in Seattle houseboat, and the lake’s thriving houseboat community. Passing through Portage Bay, the Montlake Cut, and by Husky Stadium, you will enter Lake Washington and enjoy views of some of Seattle’s most exclusive homes and properties.
We travel slowly, and stay close in, giving you the best vantage point. This one is a good choice if you want to have dinner. (meals priced per person, see menu)
(Suggested time, 4 hours, $525.00)
Locks and Sound Cruises
Traveling through the Ballard Locks is quite an experience, unique and fun. These cruises also originate on Lake Union and then head up the ship canal, through the locks, and on into Elliot Bay. We may see international cruise ships, military vessels or freighters. Our Washington State Ferries motor past, back dropped with Seattle’s beautiful skyline. This is truly one of the best.
One Way
Drops you off at the Bell Harbor Marina, in downtown Seattle. (Suggested time, 4-5 hours, $625.00) plus a docking fee at Bell Harbor for drop off. ($40.00)
You will be responsible for your own transportation after being dropped off.
Round Trip
Out and back. Same as one way, but we will bring you back to our starting point on Lake Union. This gives you a bit more time on the boat.
(Plan for closer to six hours for the entire cruise. $725.00)
All-Day Cruise
This full day cruise is truly one of the most relaxing and greatest ways to experience what Enchantress Cruises can offer while on board the Carol M. It is like having your own vessel for the day, to cruise, to anchor, to sunbathe or swim. Of course, we provide the Captain and crew to help make your time as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. For the Seattle person, this is a vacation without having to leave home or for those visiting, you won’t find a better way to experience what we have here in Seattle. Let’s keep it local!
(Based on an 8 hour day, lunch and munchables included. $1000.00)
(All of our cruises are based on six or fewer guests, plus our crew, no exceptions.)
