Seattle, WA Yacht Charters and Luxury Boat Rentals on Puget Sound

The main charter season in the Pacific Northwest runs from about April to October, when the weather is drier and the days are longer, with summer offering the most sunshine. Charters outside the season may be possible but depend on the weather, so ask us about your preferred dates.

Day charters typically cruise Puget Sound and Elliott Bay, with views of the Seattle skyline, and some yachts can pass through the Ballard Locks to Lake Union and Lake Washington. Longer charters can head toward the San Juan Islands. Tell us what you would like to see and we will plan a suitable route.

The waters around Seattle and the San Juan Islands are home to whales, porpoises, seals, sea lions, otters, bald eagles and many seabirds. Sightings depend on the season and on luck, and boats must follow rules about how closely they approach marine mammals, so treat wildlife as a bonus rather than a guarantee.

Multi-day trips can be arranged on suitable yachts. The region includes the San Juan Islands in the United States and the Gulf Islands, Sunshine Coast and Desolation Sound in Canada. Trips into Canadian waters involve border and customs formalities, so every guest will need a passport or other accepted travel document.

Yes. Yachts can be booked for corporate events, client entertaining and team outings, as well as weddings, birthdays and fishing trips. Tell us your number of guests, the date and any catering or presentation needs, and we will suggest suitable yachts.

Bring layers, even in summer, because it can feel much cooler on the water than on land, especially in the evening. A windproof jacket, sunglasses and soft-soled shoes are good choices. The water in Puget Sound is cold all year, so swimming is not usually part of a Seattle charter.

Yes. The tidal range in the area can be large, around 10 to 12 feet, which affects currents and some routes. Your captain plans around the tides and the weather, so the exact timing and route of your charter may be adjusted on the day.

Send an online charter request through our contact form with Seattle, WA as the destination, or call +1 (305) 515-4735 to speak with a charter specialist. Include your date, number of guests, preferred duration and the occasion.

The price depends on the yacht, the number of hours or days, your number of guests, the date and what is included, such as catering. Yacht Getter quotes each charter individually, so send your plans for an accurate price.

Inclusions vary from yacht to yacht. Check whether your quote covers the captain and crew, fuel, food and drinks, and whether moorage, taxes or crew gratuities are charged separately. Ask for the details in writing before you book.

The departure point depends on where the chosen yacht is moored, so it is confirmed with your booking. Ask for the exact address, parking details, the time to arrive and a contact for the day.

Each yacht has a passenger limit set by its certification under U.S. rules, so the number depends on the vessel rather than its size alone. Include your exact number of guests in your inquiry, and we will suggest yachts that can take your whole group.
