Free Boat Rides

Every Sunday of the year we offer free public boat rides on Lake Union! Come down in person to sign up as early as 10:00 a.m. for our 2:00 or 3:00 p.m. sail – space fills up quickly!

We cannot take reservations over the phone, space is first-come, first-served. Once you have signed up, you are welcome to stay and carve with Saaduuts, explore the neighborhood, or grab lunch at one of South Lake Union's great restaurants. You do not need to be present while waiting, but make sure to return in time, there's bound to be someone on the waiting list!

Also, our annual Lake Union Wooden Boat Festival over 4th of July weekend as well as other events feature free boat rides for families.

Looking for other ways to get on a boat at CWB? Rent a boat from our Livery fleet or earn free boat rental with your volunteer hours.
