FLOAT YOUR BOAT
Sailing...Takes You Away

Sailing…Takes You Away

Whether you crew in a regatta, take the family sailing on vacation, or sunset sail with your sweetie, this sport can be as wild as a wicked wind or tranquil as a summer breeze.

FLOAT YOUR BOAT

Washington's waters—lakes, rivers, ocean, canals—all provide more than ample splashing area for you to paddle, fish, race, or wakeboard. Go kayaking, canoeing, yachting, sailing, powerboating, or rafting. The choices are endless.

Lovely Lakes

Lake Union faces the Seattle skyline as an urban hotspot for boaters year-round. Lake Chelan is surrounded by open space and the North Cascades National Forest.

Kayaks & Canoes

Slice through the water sans motor and paddle peacefully or at rapid speed if white water kayaking. Stay close to the surface and float like a duck around urban and natural scenery.
