We did a private, Husky sailgating charter from Kirkland to Husky stadium. Chris, The Beardless & Jenny From The Dock were our captain & first mate. They were simultaneously professional & competent while being fun & part of the family. The company's owner Chris helped get everything set up & everything was flawless. Well done to all. Tim

Took our 3 1/2 year old and had a great time. Highly recommend. We had amazing weather and enjoyed seeing the city scape as well as seaplanes, kayaks, boats, etc… It was enjoyable for kids + adults. I’d recommend for locals and tourists.

"HORRIBLE, DISRESPECTFUL COMPANY"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed April 26, 2024
Emerald City Pirates have absolutely NO RESPECT for residents around and recreational visitors to Lake Union. They BLAST music at disturbing decibels as they cruise up and down the lake, whether any customers are on board or not, DESTROYING ANY SEMBLANCE OF PEACE for anyone on or around Lake Union. When contacted about their disrespectful behavior they were incredibly rude and made no effort to mitigate their disturbing behavior. THEY ARE NOT WORTHY OF YOUR BUSINESS. Please spend your time and money with one of many other cruising options available on Lake Union.
