Captain Will was extremely attentive and friendly. The amenities on board are amazing, the ride is smooth, you can play your own music which can be heard throughout the vessel. We brought dinner aboard and the first mate kindly prepped it and served it to us on the top deck. I cannot recommend Captain Will more. Always a delight. We will be back!

Captain Will and Kennedy were fantastic hosts for our team outing. Capt. Will gave a great tour around Lake Washington while Kennedy made sure we had plenty of snacks and drinks throughout. We will definitely be booking again!

Great trip- William facilitated our group very last minute and curated a very memorable trip. The host on board was amazing too! Beautiful boat, gorgeous tour. Highly recommend for mature groups.

We had a great cruise around Lake Washington with Captain Will and his team! We would absolutely do it again!
- TommyTommy
Our group had an amazing time on the boat! We were given a great tour of Lake Washington and the crew was very accommodating. Captain Will was very communicative leading up to our reservation which made the process of getting to/on the boat seamless. The boat itself was perfect for 13 people, all 13 can fit inside if it's raining. I would highly recommend booking with Will and hope to book again soon!
- CaseyCasey
Fantastic day on the water with William! We had a blast, and the captain knew so much that I feel like we got a bonus tour of the area while aboard. I did this for a corporate outing with clients and everyone was raving about the experience. 10/10 would recommend!
- JesseJesse
Will was a fantastic host and he and his crew ensured our group had a great time. Wouldn't hesitate to book again.
- MattMatt
Nice boat, good time. William is a bit crusty though; he arm-barred my Mom, unnecessarily honked at a patron and was generally sardonic.
- SergSerg
Great boat, knowledgeable captain, awesome experience! Would recommend this charter to others and would do it again.
- MartinMartin
We had an incredible experience on our yacht cruise with Captain Will. From the moment we stepped aboard, Captain Will's professionalism and warm hospitality made us feel right at home. His extensive knowledge of the local waters and expert navigation skills ensured a smooth and enjoyable journey. Captain Will's friendly demeanor and attention to detail truly enhanced our trip, making it a memorable and relaxing adventure. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fabulous boat, great and competent crew who taught my kids how to read a compass:) and the owner is eminently flexible, professional and knowledgeable. Thank you for a great trip!
- DavidDavid
Amazing and huge boat. We had a great time.
A few rules, but that goes with the territory of owning a boat. - AhmedAhmed
William was great! He made sure that we all had an amazing time and he did an impressive parallel parking of the yacht between two other boats in the end ;)

The boat is OK. The boat owner was not nice.
We rented the boat at August 11 and put down a separate $500 deposit, with the understanding per Boatsetter's policy that this deposit should be returned to me after the rental time frame.However, this deposit was never returned to me in full. The boat owner has claimed that my friend group and I have damaged a table during our time on the boat, and this has cost him $250 dollar to fix, which he has deducted from our deposit. He provided a picture of the supposedly damaged table and an invoice for the repair fees. My issues with these events and "evidences" are that:
1) He has never provided any support to show that it was indeed my friend group and I that had damaged his table. Without this evidence, it should not be possible to claim that we are the ones who caused the supposed damage. He has also not provided any additional details around the supposed damage beyond the unclear photo.
2) The invoice he provided and that I have attached below does not total the $250 sum he had charged us. In addition, I could not find evidence that the vendor "Eddie's Marine Services" as a legitimate business, and the address within the invoice is for an apartment complex, not a boat repair shop.

Will was a great host! The boat was awesome and he took us on a really cool tour. The boat is huge and the ride was amazing. When renting a large boat in Seattle, I will only use will. 5 star experience
- JenniferJennifer
Captain Will and his first mate were lovely. Professionals. Knows all the history and spots on the water. You can tell that they love what they do. Boat was clean and well kept.
- ParisParis
Captain Will and First Mate Kennedy went above and beyond to make my 30th birthday party a memorable one. It was a well-organized event and we were so pleasantly surprised by the effort Kennedy made to plate and serve all of our food, as well as herd the group for photo opps. Based on previous reviews we went in knowing there would be a rule/safety briefing prior to sailing - which would be expected when using someone else’s property! Overall a great experience - thank you Will and Kennedy! :)
- ElizabethElizabeth
Great experience from start to finish for our last minute cruise.
Would definitely book with This crew again. Thanks! - HongyiHongyi
great experience just like last year, definitely will come back for sure!
Highly recommended. A++ - SherrySherry
William is a very experienced captain. The boat is neat and nice! The view was also great! We had a fun office outing! Thanks, William!
- SanazSanaz
From start to finish, our yacht party was an incredible experience. The vessel was spacious, and beautifully appointed, providing the perfect setting for our event. The crew was professional, attentive, and ensured that every detail was taken care of, making our guests feel welcomed and comfortable. Communication with the owner was prompt and clear, and all arrangements were handled seamlessly. I would definitely do it again!

JB the captain was extremely informative and professional and helped his meet Kennedy who was also informative and professional it was just a great Father’s Day. I highly recommend contacting the owner Will.
- NickNick
Captain will was great. Highly recommend his "Billionaires' tour."
- BrennaBrenna
My group had an incredible time on Capt. Will's boat! It was an absolute blast and we were well taken care of. The first mate served us drinks and plated our food throughout the entire evening- we didn't have to lift a finger. Couldn't have asked for a better crew to show us around the lake- would highly recommend!

I couldn’t have asked for a more kind and caring captain and first mate. I can’t wait for my next trip with them again. As long as you follow rules and don’t ruin the yacht, you’ll have the best time ever.

Will and crew were amazing! This boat is 10/10 with top notch service and the best layout for entertaining a bigger group. Can’t wait to book with them again
- RayRay
Captain Dave & First Mate Kennedy were awesome. The boat was spacious for 12 of us. Everyone in our group had a fantastic time. Highly recommended.
- Seattle & WASeattle & WA
The yacht pick up us in the Seattle downtown, which is very convenient. The yacht is large and comfortable, there are 3 levels. Captain Will and assistant were very friendly and helpful. Captain showed us the houses of millionaires on Lake Washington. It was a great January day, cold but sunny, we saw Mt. Rainier and a beautiful sunset. Highly recommend!
- ElizabethElizabeth
Absolutely amazing time on the yacht! Crew was friendly. Went on a 4 hour cruise for my bachelorette party and it was perfect! Good music system, very spacious, variety of floats to use for swimming!
- jodisjodis
Everything has been great. Boat has plenty of space for our 12 people. Captain is very knowledgeable. His assistant provided what we need. The catering service recommended by Captain is good. We had a very memorable evening on the lake Washington. The yacht is beautiful.

The boat was the perfect size and layout for our group and the staff was friendly. We would do it again.
- PriscillaPriscilla
We had a fabulous time!
- CourtneyCourtney
The boat was beautiful and the day was amazing. Captain Will was initially pleasant over phone but once on the boat was a bit rude and anal retentive. I understand his wanting safety on the boat but he treated our group of 30-40 year old women as if we were youths who lacked common sense. I will also note he attempted to swap out my 2024 yellow boat tag for Seafair with a 2017 which I found to speak to his overall character.
- AndrewAndrew
Overall a great experience! Very cool yacht with all the amenities and space for your next adventure
- HollyHolly
This was an awesome team outing adventure! The crew was amazing, communication was easy and every was clear!
- ChristopherChristopher
Capt Will and his first mate Kennedy were fantastic!! Great boat for a group outing with friends and for my wife's special birthday! Highly recommend! Very helpful in making your experience a great one!

The captain is friendly and responsive. The boat was really comfy for 13 people and kid friendly. We brought bbq and snacks. The boat has bluetooth to play music, floating mat, noodles for the water, and someone to assist us. Kids under 13 will need to keep on life jackets which was not a problem for our kids. Nice views and the captain in knowledgeable about the areas we toured.
- SuzieSuzie
From the start, Will was late getting to the dock where we were all ready and prompt for our start time. Before boating he notified me that he would have a boat hand aboard helping, but did not informing me that his niece and her friend would also be aboard. At the end of the trip he requested a large tip for this "crew" even though 3 people not needed to support our 5 hour trip from Lake Union to Andrew's Bay. Not to mention, we are in the middle of a pandemic and did not appreciate having 2 additional strangers aboard with us.
Next, be weary of Will's strict policies aboard. You will take off your shoes right when you get on board. He will sit your whole group down (literally) and spend the next 5-10 minutes listing rules. It is expected for there to be rules on a nice boat, but his approach and hospitality was unnecessary. It dampened the mood for our group of 14 people and no one felt comfortable touching anything, sitting or even using the bathroom.
This boat is great, big and spacious (hence the 2 stars), it's just the captain's demeanor, approach and hospitality that could be improved. If you're looking for a boat for a casual cruise with office folks, then this is for you. If you have a group of friends you want to party with and have a good time, this isn't for you. - StuartStuart
Amazing boat, super friendly captain and first mate. Everyone in the party had an absolute blast. Highly recommended. Thanks again for the great hospitality.
- MikeMike
Capt Will and first mate were amazing. Had a wonderful time, he was helpful but not intrusive. The boat was great and they had great service (getting drinks, playing music, setting up food, dessert etc). Highly recommend sailing with Capt Will and this fine boat.
