WhatsApp is great for group chats, video calls, pictures, file sharing and provides many methods for us to best support you. If you don’t have this, let us know and we can find another method.
A group chat will be created before your voyage. Our team members’ will be there for you every step of the way. Keep it handy as they will be your main point of contact.

What to expect
We’ll push off 3 hours before kick off. You’ll enjoy a beautiful 1 hour ride up to University of Washington Husky Stadium where we will set anchor. You’ll have an hour or so to take in the Sailgating scenery. We’ll flag down the shuttle boat which will take you to the dock at the stadium. From the dock it’s a very short walk to the first gate.
After the game is over you’ll head back to the dock and take the shuttle to the boat. We’ll pull anchor 1 hour after final siren and safely return you to the port of call.
