We offer gift cards, group reservations on Saturdays, private Ice Cream Cruises, and our Bike-and-Boat, where you join us on the deadhead run to and from Fisherman’s Terminal. There is more to the Ice Cream Cruise, Seattle’s sweetest trip around Lake Union.
Gift Cards
Give the gift of ice cream! Electronic gift cards for the Ice Cream Cruise can be purchased here. For fares and concessions you might think of a $50.00 card for two adults or a $80.00 card for a family with two kids. Gift cards may be used for fares and concessions on any Ice Cream Cruise on a Saturday (summer only) or Sunday. They can also be used in conjunction with Saturday reservations or on the Bike and Boat.
Saturday Reservations
(From June 17 to August 27). We can reserve up to 20 spaces on one of our Saturday scheduled sailings in the summer. Email your request to info@seattlewatertours.com and we will send you information on how to pre-pay. We always leave some walk-up spaces on each sailing, so if reservations are closed, spaces will still be available.
Private Ice Cream Cruises
You can reserve the entire boat for your group of up to 42 people for a special sailing of the Ice Cream Cruise. In the off-season, we can reserve one of our regular sailings for your group. From May through September we offer two options.
Sunday. May through September we can add a sailing for your group before or after our regular scheduled sailings on Sunday. Early departures at 10:00 am. Afternoon departures at 4:00, 5:00 or 6:00 pm, depending on the month.
Saturday (Mid-June through end of August). We can add a sailing for your group before our regular scheduled sailings on Saturday. Departure at 10:00 am from Lake Union Park. We may be able to offer a Saturday afternoon private sailing depending on our charter schedule. Check in with us for possibilities.
Fares. Everyone pays regular fares, with a minimum total of $450 (equal to 25 adult fares). You can reserve a private sailing with a deposit of the $450 minimum and pay for any extra fares on the day of sailing. You can pre-pay for concessions, run a tab or have guests pay individually.
Contact us at info@seattlewatertours.com for more information or to make reservations.
Bike and Boat
We would love to have you join us as we travel between our home dock at Fisherman’s Terminal and our Ice Cream Cruise base at Lake Union Park. Bring your bikes (or your walking shoes) for the three-mile return trip along the beautiful, all-protected bike paths on the Lake Washington Ship Canal and Westlake Avenue.
This is a great way for families, scout groups, birthday parties or just groups of friends to see truly unique parts of Seattle.
You can join us for our morning trip from Fisherman’s Terminal to Lake Union Park, or for our return trip from Lake Union Park to Fisherman’s Terminal in the afternoon. Departure times will vary depending on our schedule. Check in for the most up-to-date options.
Regular Ice Cream Cruise fares apply. Reservations are required. Please contact us at info@seattlewatertours.com.
Guest announcer
We love to have our young guests take a turn at the microphone. Discover your inner Radio Voice! Stop by the wheelhouse as we are passing Lake Union Drydock and let Captain Mike know you’d like a shot at fame! (This opportunity may not be available at times when Lake Union is very congested and the captain has to keep a close eye on all the other boats on the lake.)
