Cruised on 11/13/2020 Our friends and cousin came in to town from San Diego to visit (FIRST TIMERS). So, I being born and raised in Seattle, wanted to show them the MUST DO’s when in Washington State. I wanted to start their tour date with an idea of areas and stories around Seattle m, before experiencing it all, and May I say, I am beyond happy that I chose CANDERE CRUISING as our very first stop. May I say, I am so glad we chose to begin our day with this tour. We had an absolutely divine experience with Brian as our tour guide. He was so fun, he told us all the neat facts about Seattle and places Seattle is known for. We had a complimentary drink drink on board, it was quite nice and relaxing. we all had an amazing time and got some wonderful photos of it all. I am born and raised in Seattle, and I WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS as a BUCKET LIST when visiting Seattle. Worth every penny. Follow my google reviews for more Seattle bucket list ideas!!! ️️️️️+ ️!! Thanks again Brian for your generosity and the fun adventure!

We took the two hour Lake Union/Lake Washington private tour. It was fantastic. The boat is nice with a table in the back that can be either shaded or unshaded. They have a full bar and start the group off with a complimentary cocktail. They take credit cards for the bar tab.The staff is incredibly nice. Amy was our captain and was very friendly and attentive. We’re locals and lived a nice day out on the lake. It would be a great way to show off Seattle to guests visiting. We will definitely be doing this regularly!

Dilan and his team were great! I had emailed them before the ride to let them know it was a special night and they did everything they could to accommodate and make the evening turn out perfect. I highly recommend this cruise. Dilan was knowledgeable and the 2hrs was perfect.

Really nice 4 hour cruise critiquing the mansions. Watch out for the nude swimmers and sunbathers! Excellent tour by our pilot, Brian. Would love to try the sailing. Good bar (we had mimosa), but bring food! We thought lunch was provided and were unprepared.

We had a fantastic evening on Puget Sound with Russ and Candere celebrating our wedding anniversary. The captain is knowledgeable and friendly, and the boat is very well kept. Highly recommend! We also lucked out with an absolutely gorgeous sunset, enough winds to make the sailing enjoyable yet warm enough to be comfortable. Cant guarantee youll experience the same conditions, but if you get lucky its unbeatable!

My wife Barb and I had a great time Friday night cruising on the Willow in the fleet of boats from Candere Cruising. We were met on the dock by Captain Amy. As soon as we boarded the Willow, a 31-foot cabin cruiser, Captain Amy and Captain Madeline gave us a safety lecture, Covid-19 orientation, and a tour of the boat. Was very nice to enjoy a cocktail while we spent some time on Lake Union. I can’t think of a better way to spend the afternoon on the water relaxing and enjoying our beautiful city of Seattle. A special shout out to owner and Captain Dylan who had his hand on the pulse of the weather and wisely guided us to cruise on Friday.

We booked a 3 hour sunset cruise as a belated celebration of my sisters birthday. We had the BEST time on our cruise with Russ! The evening we took our cruise turned out to be perfect weather-wise with clear skies and a calm breeze. Russ took us on a beautiful cruise through Puget Sound towards downtown and the views were amazing! We saw seals and lots of other cool ships! Russ was knowledgable about the area and he manned the boat skillfully. We had 6 people in our party and there was plenty of room for all of us! I highly recommend Candere Cruising to anyone wanting to enjoy a boat ride in Seattle! We will definitely be back to go on one of their cocktail cruises.**COVID note: We all wore masks while on board with Russ (who wore one also) so it felt very safe. You have the option to sit near his steering wheel or hang out near the bow. When sitting up towards the front of the boat, we took our masks off as we were all from the same household.

There was nothing to dislike everything was such a wonderful experience from booking appointment, the boat ride, and leaving the site. My family really enjoyed this family time and first time boat ride. Everyone was so helpful and knowledgeable.

Our small group had a lovely private sail with Russ! He was very professional, easy-going, helpful, and very compassionate when I got a little seasick! We enjoyed a beautiful sunset on the water with food and drinks. Would definitely recommend!

Despite it being one of the only rainy days in months, we had such a great time on our 2 hour Candere cruise! Our captain Amy was friendly, professional, and full of fun facts about the lake, boats and floating homes we passed. We had a great time!

Even though it was overcast and drizzling it was warm on the boat and Captain Amy was awesome :)

Booked the sunset sail with Captain Russ. Brought our own cooler with champagne and snacks. Russ was polite and professional. Would recommend booking it private unless going with friends and family.

Great service, great boat, entertaining but non-interfering captain, great day. All round good value for time and money :)

Me and my friends had a great time. Its a wonderful experience and would totally go again. Its worth every penny.

Had an amazing day trip with Captain Madeline! Great information about the area and even made a yummy lunch recommendation for us! Would definitely go again!

What an awesome cruise by Captain Russ! I booked a cruise for my fiancé‘s 26th birthday and 5 of our friends joined us. We were able to bring our own wine and had an amazing tour through the Puget Sound. Captain Russ was awesome company and did a wonderful job. Would highly recommend can’t wait to go again!

What a fun experience! Perfect for a small party or special occasion. You can bring your own food and beverage on board, Captain Dylan is an awesome and relaxed guide, and the views of Seattle from the water are unreal. 10 out of 10 would recommend!!

Marvelous set up here. Lovely

Amazing ride great trip Captain

Oh my gosh, LOVE Candere Cruising!! Captain Dylan really makes this tour incredible, he instantly makes you feel at home on the water and hes very knowledgeable on Seattle and Lake Union. The views are beautiful, totally new way to see the city. Cant recommend it enough!!!

Captain Benjamin and Captain SheridanLake Union Fun with FamilyThis is the best on the water experience in Seattle

They were very informative and welcoming. Definitely take this cruise again!

Great experience on a 2 hour Lake Union cruise with Captain Ben! Very safety conscious and knowledgeable about the lakeside scenery and made the cruise a fun experience for all of us aboard. Far exceeded expectations!

Our office had a great time cruising Lake Union! Knowledgeable, highly skilled captains, and great drinks. How can you beat the views?

Really fun and Dylan and Sheridan were really chill. Knowledgeable! relaxing boat tour. Support the little guys instead of the big cruise line for a much more personable time.

My girlfriend and I had a great time on this cruise. It was just us, the captain and another customer on the boat for a couple of really fun, relaxing hours out on the water in Seattle. Learned a lot, got to see a lot of the city and had a great time. Would highly recommend.

We had a great time on our cruise! Captain was very informative and has a good sense of humor. Highly recommend!

Our one-hour Lake Union tour was excellent. Even as locals we learned new things, the drinks and photos were great. We would definitely come back!

Decided to a last minute hour long cruise on Sunday we all had so much fun! Beautiful boat, perfect little excursion with our family before heading back to Detroit. Thank you!

Captain Ben was a great host, entertaining and we learned a lot about Seattle. And, got to see the Sleepless in Seattle house barge.Had a great time! Highly recommended.

Had a beautiful, calm morning sail with Russ. Our group enjoyed being out on Puget Sound and learning about sailing.

Captain Russ was amazing on our 3 hour sail! Great conversation and excellent sailing. This cruise is very intimate which is such a nice change of pace from most cruises. He spotted seals like 0.5 miles away and went out of the way to bring us to them. Highly recommend!

Loved it! Recommend it. We received a free drink of choice.

What a great time we had! Captain Dylan is fun & has some great information about life on Lake Union. There were six of us passengers, and all three couples were celebrating our anniversaries! (What are the odds?!) We had so much fun! I highly recommend this cool way to see Seattle!

Great experience, did the private sail and really enjoyed it. Russ was great!

Fantastic sailboat experience! Our captain Russ was knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Extremely easy to book online, youre able to bring your own food and alcohol. Very affordable for a private experience. Highly recommend.

Captain Dylan was a delight. Cruise was AWESOME! The weather wasnt the best but that didnt stop us from having an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend Candere Cruising to anyone whos looking to explore Seattle by way of boat.

Beautiful views with a very knowledgeable, entertaining Captain! It was a wonderful experience that Id happily do again and will recommend to everyone!

My wife and I took a sunset cruise with Dylan, not really sure what to expect. Im glad we did, it was definitely one of the most memorable dates weve had a in a long time. Dylans boat is perfect for a leisurely cruise and a great way to see many different parts of Seattle. Hes also a great bartender, and we enjoyed many of the beverage selections he offered, especially the Moscow Mule.If you are on the fence about trying a private cruise with an unknown captain and boat, fret no more. Dylan is your guy, youll have a great time. Were not native to the area, but if we ever come back this will definitely be on our list of things to do again!

Captain Russ was fantastic! I highly recommend this to anyone interested. Good conversation, great boat. Always felt safe and a great way to see a different view of Seattle!

An amazing cruise!

Loved the cruise! I couldnt have asked for a better trip within town!! Even though Seattle is the most beautiful city in the summer and loved the views, it was the Captain (I think thats what he was called...Dylan was the name) that made our experience the most memorable. The nicest captain! The best drinks!!

This was a GREAT experience. I took my mom out for Mothers Day. Dylan was professional, kind and a great captain. Laid back, comfortable and a great way to experience the city! Thank you, Dylan!

Great tour and great host. My wife and I had a fantastic time touring lake union and lake Washington. I definitely recommend Candere cruising for a fun and relaxing time.

Excellent way to spend your time! Private, relaxing, great views and a free drink while you watch the sun dip. Excellent, I would love to go again!!

Fantastic way to really see Seattle and the surrounding area. Captain Dylan and crew were hospitable, knowledgeable, and entertaining.

In Seattle for a quick visit, my friends and I enjoyed a lovely sunset cruise with Dylan! He shared with us lots of knowledge of Lake Union, good humor and great cocktails! If you are looking for neat way to see the area and visit with friends...this is a great way to go!Thanks Dylan!

Great tour of Lake Washington and Lake Union! Highly recommend this to both tourists and local Seattleites. Its reasonably priced, the Captain is very friendly and knowledgeable, and the drinks are great!

This is BY FAR the BEST way to see Seattle! This cruise is perfect for tourists (like myself) as well as long-time Seattle residents (the friends who accompanied me). The boat is perfect for 2-6 people and takes you on a scenic and highly entertaining tour of Lake Union and the Seattle skyscape.Dylan is an AMAZING captain and bartender. He has everything you could want as far as drinks and allows you to bring your own food on the boat. He also has an unlimited supply of interesting facts and personal stories that are sure to be of interest for all, but also allows you personal time to relax and enjoy your friends/family/significant other.I cant recommend this cruise enough for any type of event (night out with friends, romantic evening for two, family outings, etc). And the price is an exceptional flat rate per person! When you book the boat, it is booked for your party only so you wont have to share the trip with strangers, even if it is just two people paying for that time slot.Definitely take advantage of this tour - you wont regret it! It was the highlight of my trip to Seattle!

Nice boat, and a great captain! Wonderful for a nice evening or day out on the water!

Great way to see Seattle
