Waterways Cruises and Events

What a Treat!
By Katy H, a Yelp Reviewer

My boyfriend and I took a super-duper ultra romantical trip on a Waterways cruise recently. There are two routes to take and we opted for the Renton route. It was a gorgeous sunny day, lucky us!

As we boarded the boat we were greeted with champagne and seated at our table for two.  Continue reading this review or see more Yelp reviews for Waterways Crusies

In anticipation of the pending summer season, dear hedonists, it appears that, effective May 13, 2010, Waterways Cruises – founded in 1994 as a one-yacht, family-run charter business – has made some changes. BIG changes:

Waterways went Eastside. Formerly out of Lake Union, Waterways Cruises are now departing out of Renton on Lake Washington.

Lake Washington Dining Cruises is set to launch on May 13 and I recently had the opportunity to review the sunset cruise. I hopped on board the Emerald Star to see what it was all about. Here are my top ten reasons you should book an outing on Lake Washington with Waterways Cruises. 

1. You can choose from sunset dinner, weekend brunch, homes and history, happy hour or midnight lake cruises.
2. On the sunset cruise you are greeted by the Captain, handed a glass of Champagne and seated at your table. Then go check out the top deck.
3. The mixed drinks are fabulous. Shaken and stirred to perfection. Try the Blueberry Lemon Drop. Continue reading this review

When Hilton Smith, founder and chief executive officer of Waterways Cruises, took a trip on the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train four years ago, a waiter’s comment inspired his vision for a Lake Washington dinner cruise business in Renton. He said, "Of course you are going to see wonderful things but not Bill Gates' home, because people like Bill Gates don't build homes on railroad tracks," recalled Smith.

Now Smith is providing a way to see those wealthy estates on their best side – the side facing the water. Continue reading this article
