Husky Games

Seattle’s Lake Washington is home to Husky Stadium, an iconic college football venue famed for its sweeping views over shimmering waters and Mount Rainier’s distant silhouette. Sternwheeler Charters elevates the gameday experience by offering a vibrant, all-aboard boat ride that delivers fans right to the heart of the action — literally docking at the stadium’s entrance. This unique tradition turns arrival and departure into moments of waterfront celebration.

The star of the show is the Christine W., a classic US Coast Guard-certified vessel blending vintage charm with modern comforts. Step aboard to find a spacious upper deck with room to dance, as well as seating areas for relaxing and socializing while taking in sights unique to Seattle’s waterways. Pass by the famed “Sleepless in Seattle” houseboat and floatplanes skimming Lake Union as you cruise toward Husky Stadium.

Inside, a well-stocked bar and sound system keep spirits high pre- and post-game, while attentive crew members ensure a seamless experience. Whether you’re sipping a cold drink as the boat glides beneath the Montlake Cut Bridge or joining a festive flotilla of yachts tailgating Seattle style, the atmosphere is electric. This offering stands out because it ties Seattle’s nautical history and college football culture into one immersive outing.

Rather than battling parking or traffic, passengers enjoy unobstructed views and the fresh lake breeze, turning routine game day logistics into an adventure on water. Sternwheeler Charters invites you to share in a local ritual that combines social energy with scenic beauty. The cruise adds an unexpected layer to Husky games, making the day about more than football — it’s a celebration of place, community, and the Pacific Northwest’s dramatic waterfront lifestyle.
