Derek allowed everyone (who wanted to) to play a part in the sailing experience by pulling the lines and steering the craft (at least long enough to take a FB profile photo). Bring a camera, sunscreen, sunglasses, a jumper, and questions about the early days of Seattle for the "Stump Derek" portion of the trip, and get ready for a great time. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

The boat cruises the water of beautiful Lake Union, where we saw amazing views of gasworks park, the Seattle skyline and many iconic houseboats. We were absolutely analyzing them lol A little snack...a little drink on what turned out to be a beautiful sunny day. (It was raining on our drive in!). They have two options to choose from when it comes to renting this pontoon for a two-hour time slot. You can rent the whole boat for their private cruise with up to 18 guests or you can try to grab a seat on a public tour and make new friends. Www.SeattleTikiBoat.com for more 411 and booking! I appreciate my BNI family and friends for joining me in today's adventure with Captain Todd. Bonus points for this being a woman owner business...thanks Tracy Drago!!

My friends and I had the best time on our tiki tour Saturday! The weather was awesome and it was…read moresuch a great way to enjoy the sun and see the city. The boat had speakers and we brought snacks and drinks and partied all around lake union. Captain Matt was amazing and took us wherever we wanted to go. And when the stereo system wasn't working he also had a backup party box so our dance party was back on. I'd recommend Seattle Tiki Boat tours for both tourists and Seattleites wanting to spend time on the water and see the city from a new perspective.

In the boat they provide a Bluetooth speaker, dry bag, and a QR code to a GPS pin for navigating back. They were super helpful with answering questions on the phone before I booked. The boat was in great shape and the water temperature was perfect. It was a very relaxing and memorable experience for my anniversary. Ashley got us set up and went above and beyond to make it awesome! My only recommendation is to bring a hand towel to help with using your phone, and don't eat much before if you get seasick since the water can get choppy at times.

If the boat was experiencing engine issues, and the company and captain was aware that guests had booked a MONTH in advanced why was this issue not fixed the day before or the week before?

Captain Jason is a true professional and a credit to his craft as charter fishing Captain. Our half…read moreday excursion was filled with great service, incredible knowledge of the fishing. Jason was on the job from the time we boarded to the time we left the dock. Top notch gear, awesome boat, and overall a magnificent day. We have never witnessed such passion for doing a great job and working hard.

I recommend that you read this before you book with this outfit:…read more The website is well done and would lead one to believe that this is a professional operation. However, based upon my direct experience, it is not. I booked a morning charter for my son and me last weekend while I was visiting my son's new place in Seattle. I confirmed the departure location with Captain Jason via phone several weeks ahead of time. When I called, Captain Jason's tone sounded as if I was causing him an inconvenience and bordered on sounding rude...though he did warm up a bit at the end when I identified myself as a paying customer. I followed up with an email to him two days before the charter to ask if he had any additional requirements or recommendations for my son and me prior to our arrival, but he never replied. I wasn't too concerned...I guess he had no additional information for us and after all, he had already had accepted my 10% deposit and had my email and phone number if there was some type of issue. The day before the charter, my son and I drove to the marina to make sure that we knew exactly where we were going the next morning as we would be leaving early and I was entirely unfamiliar with the area. According to Captain Jason's instructions, my son and I arrived promptly at the dock at 4:45 am the next morning...15 minutes before the charter start time of 5:00 am. However, neither Captain Jason nor anyone affiliated with Bow to Stern Charters was there. We waited until 5:15 and then called Captain Jason's cell phone number. It rang and rang, and then went to voicemail. I made another call at 5:45, and again no answer. I then made a final call at 6:15 am, and again, no answer. So, with our one-day fishing licenses, camera, snacks and beverages in hand, my son and I got back into our rental car and drove back to the hotel. I sincerely don't know if I have ever felt more disappointed. If I could, I would leave zero stars for this business but it seems that Yelp requires at least one star to post a review. I'm 52 years old, and have never left a Yelp review before. I went to Captain Jason's Bow to Stern website today and see that he is still actively booking for trips today and through the rest of the week, so it would seem that he is still in operation. However, three days after our monumental disappointment, I have yet to receive a reply to my email and three unanswered phone calls as to why a Captain would do such a thing to a father and son.

We snacked, drank, socialized, and enjoyed staggeringly beautiful views as Russ pointed out marine life (this time mostly sea lions and some porpoises, but he does regularly see whales!) and answered our questions about local geography and marine history (he seems to know everything about both). Russ is charming and knowledgeable and, most importantly, very good at sailing. He is focused on both the enjoyment and safety of his guests. His outings also a great deal; I did some comparison shopping and no one beats Russ's rates for what you get. He delivered an experience above and beyond our expectations so we will be back.
