Sunday Brunch Cruise of the Lakes |
Do I have to purchase tickets in advance?
Advance purchase is strongly recommended, and cruises often sell out quickly. To maximize your chances of getting the day and time you prefer, please buy your tickets well in advance. Tickets can only be purchased with a Visa, Mastercard or American Express. Guests without tickets will be accomodated on a limited basis based on space and food availability
Which yacht will I be on?
You will be on either the 64 foot Destiny (49 guests), the 105 foot Emerald Star (225 guests) or the 90 foot Olympic Star (150 guests). Each boat is well marked and our stewards will greet you on the dock. Yacht selection is determined by the cruise guest count.
How do I get to the dock?
The dock is located at The Lakeside Event Center on north Lake Union. Further details will be provided upon purchasing your tickets.
What type of ticket should I buy if I'm bringing a very young child?
Children 4 years of age and younger can attend for free, but must have a free ticket due to Coast Guard regulations. Children between the ages of 5 and 11 have a special reduced priced ticket!
Is food served during the cruise?
A full brunch buffet of classic favorites is included in your cruise. Beverages other than coffee, tea and orange juice are not included but full bar services are available for purchase to enjoy everything from a spicy Bloody Mary to a glass of bubbles along with your brunch experience. Food items may include:
Caesar Salad, Bay Shrimp Penne Salad, Assorted Quiche, Black Forest Wrapped Eggs with Hollandaise, Fruit & Cheese Platter, Smoked Salmon Platter, Dill Roasted Potatoes, Seasonal Baked French Toast, Assorted Pastries, Chowder Bread Bowls, Berry Granola Parfaits, and Honey Cured Bacon & Sausage.
What if I have food allergies?
If you have severe food allergies or dietary restrictions of any kind, we will do our best to accommodate you as long as we know in advance! Please include details on your situation in a "Message to the Seller" upon purchasing your tickets.
How about drinks? Should I bring those?
You may bring one bottle of water per passenger but other than that, personal beverages are prohibited. There will be Bloody Marys, Mimosas and full bar services available for purchase during the cruise. Bring valid ID with you if you'd like to purchase alcoholic beverages on board. Non-alcoholic options include sodas, Italian Cream Sodas, Espresso Beverages / Lattes and Strawberry Lemonade.
How steady is the cruising? Am I likely to get seasick?
The yachts are steady, gentle vessels. It is very rare for our guests to become seasick since we stay on the Lakes which are not as rough as other local waters. While most people do not experience any sea sickness on the yachts, you may want to consider light medication if you normally take it for motion sickness. However, we cannot officially advise you to take any medication.
Is there a bathroom on the boat?
Yes, there are clean restrooms on board.
Can I stow anything (eg, my briefcase) during the cruise?
There is limited room on board to stow personal belongings. Please do not bring any heavy or large items such as luggage on board.
What should I wear?
You will be cruising on a luxury yacht and in true Seattle style, attire will range from the casual to the elegant. We ask that you not wear ball caps in the dining area and if you wish to enjoy the outdoor decks you may want to bring along a light wrap or jacket.
Where does the cruise finish?
Our cruises will end at the same pier from which they departed.
Do you ever cancel cruises due to bad weather?
The cruise runs rain or shine. The only time we cancel a trip is in the event of severe or unsafe weather conditions. Our captains monitor the radar to watch fronts and cells in the area on days when inclement weather is possible. Cancellations are made on the day of the cruise, by the Captain, up to 1 hour prior to departure time. If you have purchased tickets for a cruise that is canceled, you will have the opportunity to reschedule your tickets (subject to availability) or receive credit towards a future event.
What happens if it starts raining when we're out on our cruise?
In the event of rain, we'll still continue the cruise! We have fully enclosed lower decks and depending on the boat an awning or a fully enclosed upper deck. You are in Seattle and rain is what we are known for!
Is gratuity included in the price of the cruise?
Gratuity is not included in the price of the cruise. If you've enjoyed your experience, tips for our hardworking crew are greatly appreciated!
Are the boats ADA accessible?
Our boats may be disabled / wheelchair accessible depending upon specific details. There are step overs on the boat doorways. Staff will be on hand to help guests with limited mobility. If you have a small, non-motorized wheelchair, we may be able to bring it on board with us. However, the upper decks will not be accessible for wheelchairs as we are not equipped with lifts or elevators. Restrooms are on the lower level on all the boats but are not certified handicapped accessible. For any additional questions, please click on the "Contact this seller" link.
Is there assigned seating on the cruise?
No, seating is first come first served on the daytime sightseeing cruises. Please arrive at least 30 minutes before the cruise is scheduled to depart. We will begin boarding exactly 30 minutes beforehand, but you should allow time to find parking and come into the park to check in.
Is there shade on the boat?
Depending on the boat there may be partial overhangs to allow guests to enjoy the outdoors with some shade. Of course since you are in Seattle the sun is a welcome change and locals find any excuse to sit in full sun on the water.
Can I book a private charter?
Private cruises are available on the all of our yachts. If you're interested in a private charter, please click on the "Contact this seller" link to make a request. We also offer deck charters on many of our cruises to give you a private area for celebrations and larger groups.
Are gift certificates available?
Yes, gift certificates are available and make great gifts for any special occasion! Please click on the "Contact this seller" link and let us know what you're interested in, and someone will get back to you shortly.
