Highlights of the Lake
Lake Washington stretches more than 20 miles along the eastern edge of Seattle, and there is plenty to explore. Cruise beneath the two floating bridges — among the longest in the world — past Mercer Island, the waterfront mansions of Medina and Hunts Point, and out toward sweeping views of Mount Rainier to the south and Mount Baker to the north. Lakeside parks, swimming coves and the occasional bald eagle make every cruise a little different.
Departing from Carillon Point in Kirkland puts you minutes from open water, with the dining and waterfront of downtown Kirkland right beside the marina. It is the most convenient launching point on the Eastside for a day on the lake.
Summer on the Water
When the Seattle sun comes out, Lake Washington is the place to be. The hydraulic swim platform turns the yacht into a private swim club, the deck is built for sunbathing and lunch off the grill, and the water toys keep everyone entertained. Cooler day? The heated glass enclosure and JL Audio system keep the party going in comfort. Provocatrix sleeps 6, so a day cruise can easily become an overnight on the lake.
Is Carillon Point easy to get to?
Yes. Carillon Point Marina sits in Kirkland on the Eastside, with parking and waterfront dining on site, just a short drive from Seattle, Bellevue and Redmond.
Can beginners use the water toys?
Our crew provides guidance, and the swim platform makes launching jetskis, an e-foil or wake surfing easy for all experience levels.
