About Us
Born from a Love of the Water
Boats & Hopes LLC started with a simple idea: everyone deserves an epic day on Lake Washington. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, we spent every summer on the water — wakeboarding, cruising, and making memories with friends and family.
We noticed that premium boating experiences were often out of reach for most people. Either you needed to own a boat, know someone who did, or settle for a crowded charter that didn't feel special. We knew there had to be a better way.
That's why we launched Boats & Hopes — to make the magic of a day on the water accessible, personal, and unforgettable. One beautiful boat, maintained to the highest standards, available to anyone who wants to make some waves.
Our Values
Everything we do comes back to these core beliefs.
Passion for the Water
We live and breathe Lake Washington. Every trip we run is one we'd want to take ourselves — that's our standard.
Accessible Adventure
Premium boating shouldn't be exclusive. We make epic days on the water accessible to everyone, at fair prices.
PNW to the Core
We're proudly rooted in the Pacific Northwest. Kirkland is our home, and Lake Washington is our playground.
Making Epic Days on the Water Accessible to Everyone
Whether it's your first time on a boat or your hundredth, whether it's a Tuesday afternoon or your wedding day — we believe you deserve an incredible experience on Lake Washington. That's the hope that drives everything we do.
