Waterfront Adventures
Discover the beauty of Lake Union with a guided boat cruise designed for comfort and unforgettable views. Perfect for groups, this cruise offers a personalized experience on Seattle's iconic waters.
Waterfront Adventures is a Kirkland, Washington-based provider of guided boat rentals, wakesurfing and wakeboarding lessons, and personal watercraft rentals. Operating from Lake Union and nearby Medina shoreline, Waterfront Adventures offers experiences on a 23' Centurion Ri230 for lessons and cruises, two Yamaha AR models for larger group rentals, and a two-person Yamaha Waverunner for jet ski rentals.
The company specializes in supervised, skill-based instruction: wakesurf and wakeboard lessons on the Centurion Ri230 include a skilled driver and instructor who provides personalized coaching for all ability levels. For guests who prefer a relaxed outing, the Lake Cruise with Driver uses the Centurion Ri230 and accommodates up to six people for scenic tours and swimming stops. Rental options include a 22-foot Yamaha AR220 for seven to nine passengers and a 25-foot Yamaha AR250 for ten to twelve passengers; the AR250 requires drivers to be 21+ with a one-day boater’s license to operate.
Safety and convenience are emphasized: all rentals include a safety walkthrough or brief training session, and the Centurion Ri230 bookings include a captain or instructor. Equipment provided aligns with each activity—wakeboarding and wakesurfing gear or jet-ski training and life-jacket guidance. Waterfront Adventures serves groups, families, and individual learners seeking on-water recreation near Kirkland. Reservations and trip details are arranged per listed offerings, with clear descriptions of boat models, capacities, and instructor-led lesson formats.
Available trips include named wakesurf and wakeboard lessons, lake cruises with driver, jet-ski rentals, and 7–9 and 10–12 passenger Yamaha boat rentals. Booking details are provided online.
