I am checking to see if anyone in West Seattle is interested in a special private picnic cruise on Saturday for the famous and historic Opening Day Boat Parade on Montlake Cut. You will be riding in style on a beautifully restored classic yacht built in 1928.
We would leave early in the morning from West Seattle and cruise across Elliot Bay, through the locks, and up the ship canal to the parade staging area on Portage Bay. We will then wait with the other classic boats for our time to go through the parade route where you can wave to all the funny people onshore who came out to watch.
After we parade through the Montlake Cut, we will cruise a little on Lake Washington until they open the channel to westbound traffic, then we will motor back through the locks and home to West Seattle.
This will be an all day cruise full of fun and excitement. I can take up to six people. You can bring all the food and drink you want plus your cameras. If you waned to dress in costume for the parade, that's ok too - but it's not required since we are in the antique boat class - because we're special :). You can see more about the parade at http://www.seattleyachtclub.org. If you have never been in a parade before, this is your chance to claim your fifteen minutes of fame!
We must depart by 7:00 AM to make sure we get to the parade on time. We will return sometime between 5 and 6 (best guess).
You can see the boat at: http://www.cedarwave.com. We will be taking the M/V Allure.
The special price for this special Seattle Opening Day event cruise is $450 (that's only $75 per person if you have six people).
If you don't want to cruise all the way back to West Seattle in the afternoon with me, I can drop you off at South Lake Union.
Call me ASAP if you want to book this cruise: 206-355-0133
