We had Merrick Marine survey a 1970's full keel sailboat. They (he and his daughter) did an…read moreexcellent and thorough survey of the boat. They provided feedback and information as they went. A verbal summary after the process, and an extensive document at the end that included safety or regulatory related items that should be addressed, a list of other deficiencies and recommendations, as well as a list of notes and observations. The 39 page document included not only valuation and the aforementioned items to address, but a chart with seacock locations, purpose, and status, images of issues, and some recommendations on correcting some issues (for instance our boat uses Spartan seacocks, and Merrick provided a link to information on servicing Spartan seacocks.) While we will likely find and need to address issues as we begin our journey with this boat, I believe most issues will not be a total blindside, thanks to the comprehensive survey provided. I recommend Merrick marine for their thoroughness and their professionalism.

Visited the Seattle area on business and had one free day to do something fun. We called several…read morecaptains who already had weekend trips booked and one of the companies we called suggested that we try Captain Craig. We're glad we did! We decided to fish for Ling Cod as it was too early in the season to fish for Salmon. The Seattle weather was not very cooperative, however Captain Craig did everything we might have hoped for to make the best of the situation and come home with fish. We began by fishing for flounder to be used as bait. The poles were already rigged and in great shape. The Captain told us the goal was to catch 12 six to ten inch fish, and that's exactly what we did. While in route to the fishing grounds the captain pointed out two blue whales that were playing off the port side of the vessel. While he was careful not to disturb the whales, he did stop the boat and drifted for a while as we took advantage of the photo opps presented by this unplanned surprise. While the whales were in sight,the captain sounded more like a professional tour boat guide than like a fishing charter captain, so we felt like this was a big bonus. On to the Ling Cod grounds and then came the wind and the rain. Wearing our foul weather gear we did our best to outlast the storm, as we were determined to catch at least one Ling Cod before we would retreat to dry quarters! At last, a fish was on, and soon it would be filleted and traveling to the east coast. With gel packs. Dispute the weather we had a wonderful time, fishing and laughing and surviving seattle weather. To avoid disappointment, you should not expect a well polished professional commercial fish company. Fishing with Captain Craig is more like having a friend from another life who takes you out fishing. The Captain has all the knowledge and experience needed. He knows the right spots and understands the how to take advantage of the tides.The best way to describe the vessel, Gratitude, and it's amenities is to say its a classic and it's what you might expect from a guy with a boat in a fishing village. If you're expecting a sixty foot Viking and a captain with a couple of mates and to take photos of accommodations to impress your friend, then this is not the place to go. But if you're looking for a guy with a nice side boat ((about 38 feet) who knows what to o and where to o to catch fish, who charges a reasonable rate, then look no further. You'll have gratitude that you fished with Captain Criag on the Gratitude. The bottom line, the price was right, we caught a nice fish, had a great time, and look forward to returning when the salmon season opens.

Hi If you like being the punt of his conversation to his…read morefriends while sitting there waiting for a fish then, this is your guy. I did finally catch a fish that was nice size but the whole experience could have been much much better. I mean we pay well we should be treated good.

Not a lot of people know about this place on Lake Union, but it's very cool. You can learn all…read moreabout boating and the history of boating in Seattle. You can even take lessons or join one of their sales. The museum is free and it's not huge, but it's really nice. There's a "sister museum " on Camano Island but it's currently closed. I recommend Center For Wooden Boats if you're in the Lake Union area and are looking for a fun way to spend a few hours. The downside to this place is that, despite the parking lot right out front, the parking comes with a fee and the spaces fill up quickly. The streetcar stops right in front, but as a former volunteer it's inconvenient for me due to the time and amount of transfers it takes to get here using public transportation. But it's a fun place so if you don't mind the lack of free (and sometimes even paid parking is non existent) parking, this place is worth a visit

There is no better view of South Lake Union than the CWB piers and it is fun to take the kids for the boats as well as to watch the sea planes from Kingfisher Air take off. Kids LOVE sea planes. The have free weekend sails and the summer festival is a great way to spend a warm sunny day in the city. This is SUCH a gem in the middle of the city. Walking the piers is fantastic, the boats and the boat shop will make you want to pick up a mallet and chisel. The park that sits between the CWB and MoHAI is great in the summer. Parking can be sketchy right in front, but it is serviced by tram.

They made sure everyone could learn at their own pace. They emphasized safety and getting comfortable with all the diving skills before moving on. We had a trip with some diving planned shortly after completing our certification here and I felt like I was really well prepared. Great customer service too. All your gear is provided with the open water certification course so you don't have to pay for rentals on top of it. Brad also recommended gear for my fiancé and I when we were ready to buy and I trusted his recommendations. There was no upselling, just honest recommendations based on experience and what we said we wanted. We're hooked on diving now so we'll definitely be coming back and doing more courses here!
