Public Sail at the Center for Wooden Boats

A Seattle tradition for more than 27 years! Our volunteer skippers and crew take passengers out on Lake Union for short but unforgettable voyages. Sprit boats, steamboats, electric boats, schooners, ketches, yawls and yachts are among the several boat types that may be available to ride. 

Registration begins at 1 p.m. (arrive early)
