Dive into Seattle’s Unique Water Adventure with Hot Tub Boats

Imagine floating on the serene waters of Lake Union, enveloped in the warm, soothing waters of a hot tub while taking in the spectacular views of the Seattle skyline. Sounds like a dream, right? Welcome to Hot Tub Boats of Seattle, a unique and family-friendly adventure that combines the luxury of a personal hot tub with the thrill of a nautical excursion. Whether you’re a local, an adventure seeker, or part of the sober community, this experience promises a day of fun, relaxation, and unforgettable memories.

Join me as we explore this one-of-a-kind Seattle attraction and discover why it’s a must-do activity for sober groups, families, and adventurers alike.

The Allure of Hot Tub Boats

Seattle’s Original Hot Tub Boats offers a luxurious blend of comfort and adventure, perfect for those seeking a unique escape. These floating hot tubs maintain a delightful 104-degree warmth, providing a cozy haven against Seattle’s unpredictable weather. Whether it’s a sunny summer day or a crisp winter afternoon, the hot tub boats are an all-year-round attraction that invites guests to unwind and soak in the stunning views of the Emerald City.

The experience begins at the welcoming facility on South Lake Union, where guests are greeted with the warmth and charm you’d expect of a cozy retreat. After signing waivers and getting acquainted with the clean and well-equipped changing area, visitors are ready to set sail on their unique voyage.

Setting Sail on a Memorable Journey

Our adventure started on a rainy November day, accompanied by my favorite sidekicks, Libby Sundgren, her son Seve, and my son Jakob. Despite initial skepticism due to the downpour, the moment we arrived at 2520 Westlake Ave N, the rain ceased, and our spirits soared. With our swimsuits, snacks, and alcohol-free beverages in tow, we stepped into the inviting warmth of the Hot Tub Boat facility.

The dock, adorned with murals by renowned Seattle artist Ryan Henry Ward, set the whimsical tone for our excursion. His vibrant characters, beloved by Pacific Northwest residents, added a delightful touch of charm to the picturesque setting. Stepping into the boat, we were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and the thoughtful amenities provided, including a Bluetooth speaker, a waterproof lockbox for our iPhones, and a cooler for our refreshments.

Before setting off, we watched an engaging and informative safety video on flat screens around the dock. This ensured we were well-prepared for our adventure, with clear instructions on what to do and a visual map of the lake for reference.

Exploring Lake Union’s Hidden Gems

With Jakob at the helm as our captain, we smoothly glided away from the dock and onto the tranquil waters of Lake Union. The lake was ours to explore, with the occasional appearance of the Kenmore Air seaplane preparing for takeoff. Libby took charge of the music, setting the mood with lively tunes as we sailed towards the iconic Sleepless in Seattle houseboat.

The city’s skyscrapers provided a natural windbreak, creating a serene environment perfect for relaxation. We indulged our curiosity by discussing the various houseboats, each of us choosing a favorite and imagining the stories they held.

Seve, our young adventurer, discovered a novel way to chill our beverages by submerging them in the lake’s icy waters, a creative experiment that kept him entertained. Our leisurely two-hour sail included a drive-by of the Museum of History and Industry and a distant view of Gasworks Park, offering a delightful mix of history and natural beauty.

The Perfect Family-Friendly Activity

Returning to the dock, we were warmly welcomed by the attentive staff, who guided us in and prepared hot showers for our convenience. The well-stocked changing rooms, complete with an extensive curated collection of shower gels and soaps, ensured a refreshing end to our adventure.

Seve, brimming with enthusiasm, rated the experience Six Sobees, even after I explained our scoring system was one to five. Jakob and I agreed, eager to return with more friends, as each boat comfortably accommodates up to six adults. This family-friendly activity is perfect for locals and tourists, offering a unique perspective of Seattle’s landscape.

A Memorable Seattle Experience

Hot Tub Boats of Seattle offers an unparalleled blend of relaxation and exploration, making it a standout attraction for anyone seeking a unique adventure. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, it’s the perfect way to experience Seattle’s beauty from a new vantage point. The warm waters, breathtaking views, and delightful company ensure a day well spent.

As we parted ways with Libby and Seve, Jakob and I decided to conclude our quintessential Seattle day with a stop at the iconic Dick’s Burgers. It was the perfect end to a memorable adventure, encapsulating the spirit of Seattle in every sense.

For those looking for a fun, sober, and family-friendly activity, Hot Tub Boats of Seattle is an experience not to be missed. It’s a testament to the city’s charm, offering a unique way to connect with the captivating allure of the Pacific Northwest. Whether rain or shine, it’s an adventure that will leave you with lasting memories and a longing to return.
