Finally Sundace ownership took it upon themselves to resolve the issue once and for all by basically resealing all the components associated with the stern of the boat. Problem finally solved!

I highly recommend buying from them.

So, I'm no kayaking pro, more like a total rookie in the water scene. Being a total newbie, I began…read moreresearching places to rent kayaks. Most places operated on a first-come, first-serve basis, raising concerns about equipment availability on nice days. However, one of the best aspects of renting through REI is the option to reserve equipment for a specific timeslot, providing confidence that it'll be available upon arrival. Enatai's parking situation is generally sufficient, although it can be a bit scarce under the bridge during busier hours. However, with a bit of patience, a parking spot usually opens up. This is something to consider when planning your reservation timing. The staff at Enatai are incredibly sweet and ensure you have everything you need: a dry bag for your belongings, an oar, and a life vest. They assist in bringing the kayak to the water, give you a good push off, and then you're ready to embark on your kayaking adventure. But here's the real scoop on why THIS spot is the ultimate kayaking spot (at least among the REI choices--Meyenbauer is the other one). After cruising around the bay a few times, one of the staff spilled the beans. If you take a left and paddle under the highway bridge, there's this magical little river/creek thing. Lily pads, turtles, dragonflies, ducks, geese--you name it, we saw it. Total hidden gem! If you're thinking about trying out kayaking as a newb like me, you must try this spot!!!!! You will be hooked!

Argosy Lake Washington Blue Angels Seafair Cruise Friday July 2026…read more A great experience and fun event. A quick debrief on the logistics. We went on Friday for the airshow thinking it would be less crowded. There is parking underground and a short walk to the pier. You can grab some shade under a few umbrellas by the water. There are public restrooms very close. You queue up about a half an hour before boarding starts. We headed straight to the top deck of the Argosy Explorer in order to get the best viewing. The ship holds 500 but the captain said there were 180 on board that day. We found chairs on the port rail. We were idling at least 2 miles from show center but got a lot of low flyovers. No one really gets a good seat for the Seafair airshow. They're just too far out over the water. The crew was friendly and ship had lots of non-alcoholic drinks available too like cold brew coffee. Bathrooms are good size and there are several. The ship was absolutely immaculate. Getting off takes some time and it's warm inside. There's a nice breeze when the ship is underway but it's hot on top otherwise. A bit of an older crowd and everyone was real social and polite. Wear your SPF clothing, hat, and bring sunscreen. It's a bit rocky on top but got used to it after a bit.

The Lake Washington Argosy Cruise trip was my third trip with the cruise line. I was excited to…read moreexplore this area more and I felt like I had a very satisfying trip! There was a little bit of frustration but much of it did not have to do with Argosy. They have three departure times to tour around the lake. I planned to go to the earliest one but realized that I wouldn't make it so I hoped to make the second departure time. I didn't make it due to heavy construction as a result of weekend construction on I-5. That was really the most infuriating about making these times but again that has nothing to do with Argosy. I encountered a little bit more frustration once I got to Kirkland because the ticket office to buy tickets was closed. In between departure times the ticketing office closes and reopens a half an hour before the next departure time. That is a huge difference compared to the Argosy Cruise location in downtown Seattle where it is open during the day time hours. But I understand why and the reason is that there are a lot more cruise tours that leave from that location while the Kirkland location just has the one tour offered. The tour itself was very enjoyable! The tour guide that narrated during the tour was very good and knowledgeable about the area and the lake! We toured closest to the Bellevue side and looked at many of the lavish homes that were along the lake shore. Very beautiful homes! This area is probably the most primo of homes in the metro area as you can get! We also went by Bill and Melinda Gates' home which was a real highlight even though much of the house was obscured by trees. Lake Washington has a couple floating bridges and we went under the 520 floating bridge which was very cool to see! The views of Seattle, Bellevue and Mount Rainier were in top form as there was minimal haze the day I went. Tickets for this cruise are around the $36 range and the tour itself lasts about an hour and a half. There is a cocktail bar on the ship as well as snacks. It was a fun, relaxing trip after the frustration from the beginning of the outing and is enjoyable for summer tourists as well as locals... in fact the cruise I was on it seemed like that there were more locals than there were people from out of town! The tour guide popped this question early on. This location also does a Christmas cruise and that trip would be pretty since the areas around the lake really go all out on decorations apparently!

After you pay the for Basics course, the new sailing book will be mailed to you. Also, start taking online course, it will help you with basics. Day 1. You learn theory and terminology (about an hour) then you go directly into the water and practice, practice, practice. There were only two students on the boat, I got impression 3 are the max. From 10am till 12pm you learn basics on the water, have lunch, then go back to the water until ~5pm Day 2. Repeat basics, go to the water, learn new stuff, lunch, go back to the water repeat+ learn new movements Don't forget to go through the book before the test! Day 3. Repeat, ask instructor questions that you have, take the test, go to the water and get new tricks! Overall: 1) for non native speaker it might have some light difficulties with terminology, but overall it is not too hard to get it. For native speakers it is easier 2) Spend some time on learning basics online! It really helps. 3) it is fun! SO relaxing to sail. It is a new way to spend your weekend, just imagine having a picnic on the water. Perfect present for your significant other. 4) learning new thing is always encouraging The activity you want to try with no regrets. Julian, the owner and your instructor, knows a lot, treats you with the respect, very professional and knowledgeable. You can't find the instructor better than him. I will be back for more advanced classes for sure!

Alright guys, let me just say I had literally the best Saturday OF MY LIFE with these guys (zero…read moreexaggeration). Not only did I catch a salmon, but Michael, our Captain, took us right up to a humpback whale... I mean literally, it was rubbing against our boat... we were that close! Savannah was our skipper (I think that's proper terminology). She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Honestly, Savannah was prepping the bait and gutting the fish and it was mesmerizing to watch. She clearly has had a ton of experience and knows exactly what she's doing. SO cool. I really admire her! Not everyone caught a fish, but I did, and it was amazing. The adrenaline from reeling it in was so fun. Regardless, there's something about getting up early and watching the sunrise on the water that's just magical. We saw a humpback whale... up close and personal, and while that may not be the norm, we also saw a bunch of other sea life including porpis, sea lions and sea otters. Overall it's just a pleasant experience - just don't come in thinking your whole party will catch fish, because that certainly is not the case. HOWEVER - I will say - Michael was great about moving us to areas where there were fish and "bait fish" (whatever that means). The captain sets you up for success, and that's about all you can ask for! Tip: they tell you to show up at 5:45. We got there at 5:45 and nobody was there.. we were starting to think we were in the wrong spot or it was the wrong day. BUT, right around 6, sure enough everyone else showed up! Just a heads up :) Tip #2: Even if the weather looks nice... BRING LAYERS!! I almost left my winter jacket behind, as I was feeling foolish after seeing what everyone else was wearing. SO GRATEFUL I BROUGHT IT ALONG!!! It was freezing out on the water! But totally manageable if prepared :) THANK YOU MICHAEL AND SAVANNAH!!! I will be coming back! :)
