Floating Boathouse

Floating boat shop decorated for an event with strings of lights and lanterns and tables set up for a formal dinner

Located on the south end of Seattle’s Lake Union, the floating Boathouse offers exceptional views in every season. The event space is set among a notable collection of vessels in the marina, with the Space Needle and MOHAI to the west, and the full activity of the lake. It features hardwood floors, exposed beams highlighted with natural light from large windows. Through French doors, the North Deck offers a panorama of water views from a wood-plank dock, where guests can reconnect with the physical world and take in the scene of Seattle’s maritime heritage.
