This was such an amazing experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was nice that there were changing rooms, a restroom, and shower for afterwards with body wash and shampoo! I’d recommend bringing snacks and drinks for while you’re out there, but they had these available for purchase as well. The views of the city were amazing even though it was really dark out. The wireless speaker on the boats are a nice touch also. Well worth it to try this out!
Amazing experience! Great views & good vibes. Easy to steer, big dry box for snacks, small air tight containers for phones, mini cooler with water bottles included, bluetooth speaker. Staff was super friendly! There were heated changing area/bathrooms and shower with various shampoo/soaps available.
We had a great time with Hot Tub Boats on Labor Day morning! We arrived a little late, thankfully there was easy free parking right out front. Andrew checked us in, gave us the run down on the boat, facilities, gave us some bottled water, and a blue tooth speaker. There was more than enough storage we could leave behind or bring with us in the boat. We also received dry boxes for our keys and cell phones. We had earliest time slot of 9am and it was a perfect day with not many other boats out on the water! The hot tub is pretty hot! but it was nice to relax in after hiking and walking so much over the weekend! You can always sit up on top to cool down.The 2 hour time limit on the water was a perfect amount of time to go around most of the lake. It was easy to steer the joy stick too.When we returned, we were able to take a hot shower and they had shampoos and soaps to use, bathroom and 2 changing rooms. While we were showering and changing, we saw them clean out our whole hot tub, power scrub and sanitize and put in new water for the next group. Everything at the facilities were clean, organized and well kept. We would highly recommend to friends and hope to be back one day! Thank you Andrew and the rest of the Hot Tub Staff!
This place is super amazing! Highly recommend you go with a group of friends (6 max, but you should really max it out to 6 people) for the best experience. Reservations sell out months in advance, so plan a trip well ahead of time! I went in the evening during summer right as the sun was setting, which was excellent for the views and just the right temperature. If it gets too hot, you can turn off the heater. The boat moves slowly (~5mph) so try to plan your trip around Lake Union accordingly. You should have just enough time to go around most of the Lake. Youll be instructed on how to pilot the boat before you leave the dock, but honestly its pretty straightforward and nobody in the party that I went with had any issues with steering. My only piece of advice would be to make sure you turn well ahead of time if you are about to run into another boat. Waterproof boxes (roughly 7x5x5) that float in the hot tub will be available for you to store your phones, and a compartment (roughly 1 cubic yard, enough for 2-3 backpacks) in the back of the boat will allow you to store larger items. Water is provided for you before the ride, and shampoo and a shower is provided afterwards. There is a place for you to place your items, as well as lockers, changing rooms, and a bathroom.
Words can’t describe this experience! What a way to ring in 40. We had 4 in our boat and it was the perfect amount. The staff was so friendly and helpful from the booking to the execution. I was put on a wait list and was sent a text there was an opening. They provided us water and great directions. I would recommend this to anyone who is in the Seattle area.
I truly loved every moment; I went out with my sisters early on a Monday and it was idyllic and this funny kind of NW luxury. There were 4 of us, I could see fitting six, but 4 was perfect.Staff was friendly, informative, and welcoming, we liked the rustic changing room and shower options. Boat was comfortable, easy to drive, and 2 hours was the perfect amount of time.We loved seeing Seattle from the lake and getting the chance to reconnect while in a freaking hot tub boat! So ready to go again.We had brought snacks and didnt need them, but water is a must!
This may have been the best Seattle adventure we have ever been on. The staff was very professional and helpful. There were changing rooms and storage for the items we didnt want to take on the boat. The boat had plenty of room for our cooler and they even provided waterproof containers for phones, keys, etc. The blue tooth speaker was perfect. The water stays warm and our float around Lake Union was incredible. The best way to see Seattle! Cant wait to go again!.
Had such an awesome time, and I would definitely recommend!Pros: friendly service, Bluetooth speaker, dry boxes, can bring your own food and drinks, outdoor shower area with shampoo, bathroom, changing rooms, shelf for stuff you dont want to bring, perfect water temp, easy to drive, comfyCons: none!Highlights: So much to see! Everyone we passed by on the water on their boats, paddles, and houseboats were so friendly. Even the teenagers had a great time and rated the experience a 10 out of 10:)
I came all the way from Texas for this experience and it lived up to EVERY expectation I could have possibly fathomed! As much as I enjoyed the experience, I feel that it is definitely worth mentioning that the staff who made all of this possible is AMAZING!!! This experience was definitely the highlight of our anniversary trip and we will never forget it! Everyone should definitely experience this at least once in their lifetime…
We went out on a partly cloudy day and even got caught in the middle of a rainstorm. Although the water was a little choppy at times, I felt incredibly safe and it was easy to navigate. The dry boxes for our phones were a huge plus, and it was nice to have storage on the boat for our food and drinks. I would recommend bringing either a dry sack or a small waterproof cooler for anything you want to put in the boat’s storage as it does get wet. There are also shelves and lockers (bring your own lock) to store your towels and clothes back at the dock. The staff was friendly and gave great instructions about how to work the boat and what areas of the lake would be best to explore. I would definitely do this again, (even in the rain), it was an unforgettable experience and we had a blast!
Floating around Union Lake in 104 F temperature water on a chilly autumn evening is one of my favourite memories of visiting Seattle. The staff were really friendly and helpful. I hope everyone who visits the Hot Tub Boats website gets to enjoy this experience.
Awesome experience. I’d recommend the hot tub boats on a cold wet day. It’s the best contrast and way to experience a hot tub and fewer people on the water. 2 hours is enough time.
Once in a lifetime experience! The staff were so helpful and made the experience great. There was plenty of room to change and shower afterward. The hot tub boat stayed nice and hot the entire time. We were provided with a cooler with water and plenty of space to stow belongings. I will definitely be back to do this again!
This was such an amazing experience!! My boyfriend and I heard about this through a friend and are so happy we did this! From the start of our experience to the end, everything went so well. James was our attendant and he was extremely helpful and friendly! The boat itself was clean, easy to operate, the Bluetooth worked well and there was plenty of space! We did the 2 hour rental at night and the views were absolutely spectacular. Overall this was a great experience! Thank you Hot Tub Boat Rentals!!
It was a magical experience to be out on Lake Washington at night. The folks at Hot Tub Boats did a great job of explaining the lake viewing options for a night time tour. The facilities were great for changing clothes and storing items you didnt want to take on the boat. The water on the boat stayed warm. Nice touches were the provided bluetooth speaker and dry box. I would highly recommend to anyone to take a boat out for a lovely date night.
We had such an amazing time on the hot tub boat! We got a BT speaker to bring with us on our trip, had a place to store our clothes and such on shore and a space to store some things in the boat. They also have a space for you to shower/wash off after the trip with multiple different kinds of shampoos and conditioners. We noticed the water in the hot tub got super hot towards the end of the trip so make sure you call them if that happens while you’re out! There is a thermostat to adjust the water temp somewhere in the boat. Lovely trip! Would highly recommend anyone looking to do this to definitely book it!!
Had a great experience with SLU Hot Tub Boats at Friday evening. The staff here is super friendly. The cabin like facility (change room, locker, front desk) is very cute and clean. You can rent a hot tub boat for 2 hours and drive around SLU. The boat does not move very fast but it is the perfect speed for hot tub experience. Bring your own towel and swimsuit. Do not forget to bring food and beverages! Beer, fruits and sandwiches are good options. You can take you phone on the boat and there is a waterproof box to place it. There is also a Bluetooth speaker on the boat so you can play music from your phone!
The staff was awesome. Very polite, and accommodating. Very chill atmosphere. Boat was clean, water was nice and hot. The outdoor shower with the plethora of shampoos and body washes a very well thought out surprise. Theyve thought of everything. Will definitely do this again. Thanks for the great experience.
My friends and I did the hot tub boat for my birthday last night and it was so much fun! I highly recommend going on the 6-8 pm boat if available because the city lights look amazing. I would love to do this again.
Just the name alone, Hot Tub Boat already sounds like fun, but the experience is so much more than just fun! Fair warning, it IS a little pricey, so my advice is to maybe save up with lots of time, or split it with friends, because it is SO WORTH IT! The lake you boat in is on the smaller side so you wont get lost, but its large enough to roam around in for two hours and get to enjoy the views/sights. I recommend going in at dusk, with just enough daylight to enjoy the rustic gas works park, and as the sun sets, the glowing city lights!
This was an amazing experience! I loved our two hours on the hot tub boat. It was really easy to use and fun to see the sights of lake union from. They had dry boxes for our electronics and a storage place for other items. We were able to change and shower off on site after returning our boat. I thoroughly enjoyed our time on the boat and I am already thinking about when I can do this again!
Such a unique, fun, and relaxing experience! This is exactly what I look for when Visiting a new city, and this was the perfect date-night experience to begin our weekend in Seattle. I would LOVE to see them come to Portland! This would be a huge hit on the Willamette river and could definitely see us and our friends paying for a membership to do this monthly! SO MUCH FUN!!
This place rules. James was an excellent host. We loved every moment. What a dream. We’ll be back. Bring a towel! Make a playlist you can play on the Bluetooth speaker!
Although the idea of a hot tub boat sounds amazing we were still a little uncertain going into our experience. However, after two hours on the boat we were all talking about doing it again. The facility is great (and quaint) and the staff were fantastic. Very helpful and friendly with all of our questions. The boat itself is easy to drive and a fun way to tour Lake Union. Highly recommend!
This was an amazing outing with friends on Lake Union. It far exceeded our expectations. Customer service and directions were clear and we really enjoyed the staff. The hub had a cute changing station and shower with as many products as you need. We were able to use the speakers to play our music and ride around Lake Union looking at the house boats. Next time we do it we’ll call in an order from the Ivars Salmon House.
If i could give 6 stars, i would. Just absolutely amazing. They really provided everything, including speaker for music, a selection of shampoos to shower with after. The view and the water was perfection. So glad i did this during my Seattle trip. -with love, from Florida
Entire staff was super friendly and went above and beyond to make this an incredible experience. Boat was very clean and comfortable. Cant wait to rent one again! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to do a fun, sightseeing experience from the water!
Recently went with my boyfriend last week on a hot tub boat for the first time. Andrew was helping us that day. First off they have GREAT customer service and really want you to enjoy your time on the ride. It is a 2 hour boat ride with easy maneuvering. I went from 9pm-11pm and by 10pm I was catching the sun setting and WOW an amazing view of the city. There is a compartment to keep your stuff dry as well as your choice of music on the speaker. Returning from the boat ride there is a shower you can use and they provide the shampoo/body wash. From beginning to end is was great service and definitely an unforgettable experience.
We booked two boats for my daughter’s bachelorette party with a spa theme. This was two days before her wedding as she lives in Seattle and the rest of us traveled to the wedding. We invited the men as well in order to fill up the two boats. It was raining when we started out and the lake was very empty. We were comfortable and wore matching suits and hats. It soon cleared up and we had a great tour of the lake and came out so relaxed! The staff was very professional and we felt safe on the lake and with the cleanliness of the boats.
This was everything we could have dreamed of and more... Weve been wanting to do this since we saw it on Booze Traveler years ago and we finally did it. It was a beautiful day and not too busy on the lake. This is probably going to be our new staple of things we do when we have visitors from out of town. A really fun and unique view of Seattle.
This is a must do in Seattle! If you’re looking for a fun activity on a hot summer day - this is it. Two perfect hours on Lake Union floating around. The boat is easy to control, super spacious and comfortable, great temp of the hot tub water. The Hot Tub Boat crew was helpful and informative before our ride and the boathouse provides easy storage and showers and is super clean. Highly recommend!
If you’re visiting Seattle and it’s not too hot out, you NEED to do this. It was so fun! The staff was so friendly and helpful, the boats were nice and clean and the view from the boat was beautiful. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!
We had no idea what to expect - every part of the experience was dope. The employees were extremely nice, the boat was awesome, they have a hot shower for afterwards and more! 10/10 and 100% going to come back. They have a frequent floaters club - fantastic. Check out my float on tiktok @DatWonBoiFloyd.Thanks again!!!
Where do I even begin!? This was a dream come true, absolutely incredible customer service and a high quality experience. The boats are gorgeous and easy to use, the facility was adorable and well located. If I could only do one activity for the rest of my life I’d probably choose this.
Such a great time! And such a friendly staff. They take the time to make sure you understand everything before you go, show you the map and controls, and make sure youre comfortable.Theyve got spare waters if you forget, dry boxes for your important stuff, and a hold to keep everything dry you might want! They even make some shelf space at the dock to keep things you might not want to bring with.When you come back, a nice warm shower awaits to rinse and prepare yourself for the rest of the day.I absolutely recommend this. It was cool to take some visitors out and show them the sights from this unique experience. Prepare to have plenty of other boaters hoot at you and ask questions!
My husband, myself, our three kids, and my sister enjoyed a lovely hot tub time on the lake with Hot Tub Boats. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The outdoor shower was a great feature as some of us were wanting our hot tub temp a little warmer, but we found the thermostat easily and turned up the temp during our time on the lake. The facilities were clean and they made everything easy for us. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a rental boat experience.
It’s 5 stars from my group and I! We had an amazing and fun time with the hot tub boat. The 2 hour reservation gives you more than enough time to float around Lake Union and see the Seattle sky line and Gas Works Park! The boat itself has 2 dry compartments to put whatever you want to throw in there. We were even given dry boxes (that float!) to put our phones in just in case. They also provide a JBL Bluetooth speaker, which was awesome to have. We arrived a little early but Stephen was able to let us in and get us on the boat early! He was super friendly and showed us the changing area, bathroom, and the cubbies to put our belongings. One of our favorite things is that there is a outdoor shower to rinse off your body and they have tons of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash you can use. We’d 10/10 recommend this in Seattle!
Amazing experience. Definitely exceeding my expectations . A must thing to do when in Seattle.
They have a Bluetooth speaker on the boat, so you can play your own music. The boat is easy to steer with a joystick. The city views are amazing. Its a little expensive but worth the price, especially if you go with friends or your special someone.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would in a heart beat. Great set up, great experience, and great service. The boats are comfortable, and easy to drive! The view can not be beat on a Seattle evening.
It was a great experience. You can enjoy the view of Downtown Seattle while chilling in your hot tub boat. The “water planes” added something nice too. The staff were helpful and nice. Hope to come back soon and definitely trying it again.
This was such a special experience from beginning to end. I highly recommend Hot Tub Boats for anyone looking to unwind and spend some cherished time with loved ones. The staff was great and the tubs were immaculate.
Wow! What an amazing experience and lovely morning. It was wonderful cruising the waterway with views of dt Seattle and the space needle in the back ground and watching the seaplanes land and take off. The staff was wonderful, and we even got to rinse off with hot showers when we made it back to the dock. Book your experience today!
My husband and I celebrated our anniversary on a hot tub boat with rose petals and milk & honey Epsom salts in it. It was so fun cruising around the lake at night seeing all the big yachts and floating houses with the Seattle skyline and Space Needle in the background. We absolutely loved it and the service was fantastic!
Such a cool and unique experience. The boat was super easy to drive and there are some great views from Lake Union. Definitely recommend this for a couple, group of friends, or small family.
A beautiful experience on the water. We went out at 8:30 PM (dark and a bit rainy) and loved it. We stayed cozy in the hot hot tub, got to check out the city lights and the houseboats and it was perfect.
We went late at night since it was the last appointment available at 9pm, but it did not take away from the experience! The hot tub kept us warm and we got killer views! Recommend to pay attention to where the boat dock is since at night its hard to recognize where you came from when coming back! Friendly staff, has music boombox that is easy to connect to, rinse off area with shampoo conditioner and soap, can bring food and drink so long as there is no glass involved! max capacity is 6. Great way to see the city of Seattle!
Loved the hot tub boats. Bethany checked us in, she is the best. She was so friendly and very helpful. The boat was so much fun, water felt great, the weather was beautiful. I would definitely rebook with them next time I’m in town.
So much fun!! They cover all the little details for a seamless experience. Easy to drive, water temp was perfect and I’ve never seen Seattle from that low in the water!
Came to Seattle with my bestfriend specifically because we heard of the hot tub boats and wanted to enjoy the unique sea-neary for ourselves! We LOVED this and it was such a beautiful experience. The staff members were really nice and helpful as well. They provide a speaker, water, there is a compartment for your things to keep them dry and even a shower at the end to rinse off. I’d definitely do this again! Thanks for such an amazing memory!!
Such an awesome experience! A completely different way to see the city. We had so much fun out on the lake in the boats. If you are traveling to Seattle you can not miss this. We loved it so much that well be going again next time we visit our family who lives here. The boat is so easy to drive, they give you a wireless Bluetooth speaker, they have an adorable floating hut with changing rooms, lockers, a bathroom, and a shower so we had everything we needed. They were super friendly too! Cant say about good things about Hot Tub Boats!!!
Awesome experience that I highly recommend for a special occasion or to get the most out of a trip to Seattle. Total luxury and full service! Looking forward to the next time we go.
One of the coolest experiences I have ever had! Highly recommend. A lot of fun and the views in the evening are awesome!
The hot tub boat was even better than expected. Can’t wait for my wife and I to come out and enjoy as it was so beautiful and fun and relaxing and good for a group of up to 6. Get a cheese plate, you’ll get snacky!
Great to take a hot bath on lake! The boat was easy to drive, and the bath temperature is adjustable but the default was already great. You can bring food and drink onto the boat. The staff was super awesome! Great facilities that you can change clothes in a private room, store your items, and take a shower after bath if needed. They have good selections of shampoo and body wash. Overall a great experience!
This could not have been more fun. The staff was friendly and fast--key when youre eager to get out on the water! The boats are clean, well-equipped, and they have nice decking so that you can step out of the hot tub, when youre too warm. We loved it and will definitely do it again.
We arrived a bit too early but it ended up being just fine. My husband daughter and I did the hot tub boat on a dreary day and it was absolutely awesome! 5/5 recommend!
We bought an 2hr rental at the UNCF auction in 2019. Due to COVID we couldn’t use it. On a whim I emailed the contact on the certificate. Henry got right back to me and HONORED the certificate. The availability was limited but that was due to the amazing Seattle weather we are having in 2021. ☀️YES! They honored my request and we were booked. This was the most AMAZING experience! The employees were great and responded to ALL of my random questions.Once we got out on the water after my many questions, we had a blast!!!!! I will definitely be back & you should go too! It is completely worth the money!!!
Hot tub boats were great!! Two hours is the perfect time to tour around the whole lake and take in amazing views of the city. Our boat was super clean, and we watched them empty and scrub our boat when we finished. Great experience!
Our time on the boat was amazing!! Check in was super easy and staff was great at answering questions. No complaints except wishing we had more time
This was a super fun activity. Everything about it was easy (parking, showers/changing rooms, getting in/out of the boat, storage for your snacks and phones, a speaker provided for music, driving the boat was simple…all a breeze!)Such a cool way to sight-see around Lake Union. Thanks!
We had the most relaxing and special day out on the water. This is such a unique way to see Seattle. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Small touches like having gorgeous shower products and a welcoming change area, really made this experience 10/10. We’d love to do it again!
We had a great time. No better way to see the Seattle skyline, sea planes taking off and landing, and way to stay warm. Would love to do this again.
Such a fun experience. Hot tubs were clean and so comfortable and east to use. Staff service was amazing.
Highlight of our trip to Seattle! Family of 5 with 3 teenagers loved our morning out on Lake Union. Boat was exceptionally clean and easy to maneuver. Warm shower and nice products to clean up after the float was a nice touch. Highly this company!!!
We had such a good time! Employees were kind & the environment was chill. Would definitely go again.
Incredible experience. Friendly staff, accommodating resources. The boat was relaxing and fun for our group of friends and easy to navigate. Highly recommend! We added rose petals and lavender epson salt - totally worth it!
The whole team took great care of us! This is a can’t-miss experience in Seattle. Relax, enjoy the best view of the Seattle skyline you could possibly get, and be sure to take lots of photos! I’ll be recommending Hot Tub Boats to any of my friends who find themselves in the area. We’ll be back!!
Wow, we were so impressed by this unique experience! All the small touches and attention to detail upon arrival made everything that much more fun and memorable! The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities and the boat were clean and in great condition! 100% would recommend this amazing adventure out on the water! What a fun way to see Seattle!
Such a wonderful experience! lovely, warm staff and a perfect evening under the stars. cant recommend this company enough!
Fun time, clean boats, and great service. Our friends had been on other hot tub boats and said this one was by far the best. It was very convenient and the speaker available to pair our music was a nice touch. Highly recommend!
Such an awesome experience! We loved how a blue tooth speaker was provided to enjoy music. There was more storage than what we expected, so now we know for next time that we can bring more with us - like drinks and snacks. We are already planning on coming back in the winter months.
I booked a rental for my gf and it was amazing! The check in process was quick and easy. There is plenty storage on the boat for things you want to bring on water and personal cubby space at the facility reserved for you and your party for things you don’t want to bring. Using the boat is very simple and we were given complete and easy instruction on how to drive and maneuver the boat and also what to expect on the water in different parts of the lake (there’s also a nice map attached to the boats storage hatch). There was options of different bath salts to add to your boats hot tub (we used the eucalyptus mint) which was very nice. After the ride there was a warm shower waiting for us with different soaps and shampoos to choose from; we were aloud to take our time before checking out. This was a unique and amazing experience, I would definitely do it again in the future!
I had a WONDERFUL experience with this place. They were kind and took care of us so well from the showers afterword to explaining every detail of the boat so we understood exactly what we were doing. It was hands down the best thing I did while I was in Seattle.
This was totally fun and such a novel idea! Lake was beautiful and we did the last appt of the evening. Got to see all the lights come on in the city. A full moon made it even more exceptional. Would definitely recommend.
Phenomenal experience! The 360 views, waterproof speakers, and being able to bring our own drinks and snacks made it a night to remember. Super friendly and attentive staff who explained everything in full detail. We will definitely be booking again soon!
AMAZING!! The team is fantastic- everyone was super nice and knowledgeable. We will most definitely be back!!! The timeframe is perfect- just right to tool around and sightsee, take your pics and eat that Charcuterie board ladies!! Thanks so much 💛
Staff was very nice and helpful. Boat was hot and ready upon our arrival. They had a set of cubbies for our dry clothes and misc belongings to stay on shore, changing rooms, and a bathroom. The boat functioned great and we enjoyed a put-put around Lake Union, having enough time to make it around the entire lake! Boats were clean, comfortable, and came with a small dry-box for phones/valuables we wanted to bring with. Price was expensive, but a good value for the experience and I would definitely go again for a special occasion.
I know this sounds like it would be fun but honestly it’s REALLY fun. Emily who was working that night was awesome, so kind and reassuring. Definitely will do it again and will recommend others to do it!
Such an amazing experience! The staff was really friendly and the boat itself was nice and super clean. A really good way to see Lake Union. Would definitely do it again.
One of the coolest experiences ever. If you’re on the fence about booking, here is your sign to do it. Our group went for the sunset and even got to see some fireworks. 100% worth the price, and the staff was insanely kind and helpful
My wife and I had a wonderful time on the hot tub boat. We boated all around Lake Union and had plenty of time to see all the docks and marinas on the lake. It was fun seeing the city from this perspective and to see all the different kinds of house boats on Lake Union. We noticed another company renting hot tub boats but they were wood-heated and had a smoke-stack as part of the boat structure. The smoke stack really didnt smell good and I cant imagine riding around for a few hours having to smell that the whole time. So, if youre wondering which company to go with, the Hot Tub Boat company runs a much cleaner, less foul-smelling vehicle. Thanks again!
So much fun and the employees were so nice. Amazing experience!
This was the highlight of our time in Seattle - a must do! Who wouldn’t want to enjoy a hot tub while being out on a beautiful lake?! The staff is helpful and kind. The speaker, changing area, and free water is a bonus. Thanks again!
So much fun! Great customer service, wonderful views, and be chilly weather made it all the better!
Great service by the team. I took my girlfriend out in one of these awesome boats for her birthday, and she later referred to the experience as a princess treatment. Points for me, more points for the Hot Tub Boats! The staff was informative and professional, and led us through each step from the moment we got into the boat till our arrival. We showed up about 10 minutes late to our appointment, and they graciously extended our session another 10 minutes. With a hot, freshwater shower ready to go upon docking, the whole experience was 5 stars! Will be using them again in the future.
Such a great time! We had a blast on a hot tub boat yesterday afternoon. The boat and team were ready to go when we arrived, with great instructions on how to operate the boat, directions, etc. Profession, friendly and just all around awesome. Thanks so much for a fantastic afternoon!
