Additional Information

Enjoy a lively, family-oriented guided boating adventure on the Columbia River in Wenatchee, WA, a convenient half-hour drive from Leavenworth and an hour from Chelan. Our boat is as audacious and fashionable as a roa dster, only it navigates the waves. Designed for more than a usual boating journey, it features drift-turns during the cruise and impromptu entertainment initiated by the captain’s signal.

The side attraction resembles a rollercoaster on the water, complete with right-angle fishtail turns and a grand-finale ‘Hamilton Spin’ where the boat whirls within its own radius. Get an unmatched view of the Rocky Reach Dam and commemorate the moment with a selfie! This service allows tourists to enjoy a local-style experience efficiently, without spending the majority of your day sorting out a boat rental or fishing charter. Even seasoned mariners usually spend half a day handling logistics to get on the water; save yourself the hassle!
