• After checking that a boat is available for the intended reservation period, purchase the appropriate number of keel boat reservations from the square store.
• Go to the keel boat calendar and reserve your vessel, but be sure to enter the confirmation number associated with your square purchase as a comment on the reservation! Any reservations without a confirmation number linking it to the appropriate payment will be deleted without a refund

Pumpout Stations

Emptying a holding tank is a necessary responsibility for keelboat sailors.  Seriously, if you or your crew used the head? Pump it out. Not optional. The most convenient locations for doing this are: from the sound- Shilshole Marina; from Lake Washington- Carrillon Point Marina; from Lake Union- Boat Street Marina.  Check out this map to see locations.   Rumor has it there is also the Marina Mart 24 Hour Pumpout about 3/4 of the way down the west side of Lake Union.
