Duffy Electric Boats NW offers quiet, easy-to-operate electric boat rentals on Lake Washington, giving families and friends a relaxed way to take in the views around Kirkland without the noise or complexity of a traditional powerboat. The business operates a fleet of 21-foot Duffy Electric boats available from three locations: Kirkland Marina Park, the Hyatt Regency Lake Washington in Renton, and Meydenbauer Bay Marina in downtown Bellevue.

Each Duffy boat comfortably seats up to 10 people, with a maximum capacity of 12, and cruises at a leisurely 7 mph, perfect for conversation and taking in the scenery rather than covering distance quickly. Because the electric boats run under 15 horsepower, no boater’s permit is required to operate one, making the experience accessible to guests of all boating backgrounds. Every boat comes equipped with a stereo, so renters can bring their own playlist along with their own food and drinks for the trip.

Rentals run with a two-hour minimum and a four-hour maximum, with pricing ranging from $145 to $235 an hour depending on the boat and location. Beyond standard daytime rentals, Duffy Electric Boats NW also offers a seasonal private 90-minute Holiday Light cruise on Lake Washington each winter, complete with a warm, cozy cabin, Bluetooth speaker, and festive treats while gliding past homes decorated with holiday lights.

Guest reviews consistently highlight the friendly, accommodating staff, with stories ranging from group outings with wine and cheese to milestone celebrations like an 85th birthday cruise around Juanita Bay, made easy even for guests using mobility aids with a little help getting aboard.

For anyone looking for a relaxed, quiet way to explore Lake Washington with family or friends, Duffy Electric Boats NW offers electric boat rentals from three convenient Eastside locations, no boating experience required.
