Lake Union
Houseboat and skyline cruises, electric boat rentals and small group trips.
Lake Washington
Waterfront home cruises, summer parties and Seafair viewing.
Elliott Bay and Puget Sound
Skyline cruises and trips toward the islands.
Eastside and Kirkland
Private charters for tech company teams and local groups.

The Seattle charter market
Where trips leave from and who books them
Charters run on three kinds of water: Lake Union for city and houseboat cruises, Lake Washington for waterfront homes and summer parties, and Puget Sound and Elliott Bay for skyline views and longer trips to the islands.
Guests are tech company teams, locals celebrating birthdays and weddings, and summer visitors. Corporate demand is strong because so many large employers are based nearby.
Rain keeps the season short and weather-driven, so ads should push hardest on sunny forecasts and pull back when the weather turns.

- Seafair in early August, with the Blue Angels over Lake Washington, is the busiest boating weekend of the year.

How we market Seattle charter businesses
Ads, SEO, pages and tracking, run as one plan
- Google Ads and Microsoft Ads split by area, boat type and trip, paced to when Seattle guests book.
- SEO and Google Business Profile so you show up in the map results and organic search for your marina and trips.
- Landing pages for each boat, route and event, with prices and booking above the fold.
- Booking tracking from FareHarbor, Resova, Checkfront or your own checkout, so every deposit is credited to the campaign that earned it.
Common questions
Still have a question? Reach our team and we will answer the same day.
Can ads adjust to Seattle weather?
Yes. We schedule higher bids for sunny weekends and pull back on rainy days, so budget goes to days when guests are actually booking.
Do corporate charters matter in Seattle?
A lot. Tech and other large employers book summer team events, often weeks ahead. A corporate landing page and campaign is usually worth it.
Do you have an office in Seattle?
No. We work remotely with yacht and boat rental businesses across the US. Before launching, we study each market’s marinas, seasons, events and search terms, and all calls and reporting happen online.
How fast will we see bookings?
Google Ads can bring inquiries in the first week, with cost per booking settling over four to eight weeks. SEO and Google Business Profile work usually shows results in three to six months.
