Sleigh the Lake – Seattle’s Floating Christmas Pop-Up on Lake Union
Escape the crowded bars and chilly sidewalks this season and experience Seattle’s most unique holiday adventure - a private Christmas cruise aboard Sea Raptor. This 37-foot 2024 Sea Ray Sundancer has been transformed into a glowing, heated winter wonderland on the water - your own floating snow globe with skyline views, holiday music, and the warmest vibes on Lake Union.
The Experience
Step inside and make it your night. Bring your own drinks, mix your own cocktails, and cue up your favorite playlist as you cruise past the city lights. The cabin is fully enclosed and toasty, the seating plush and festive, and every surface decked out in garland, ornaments, and LEDs. Whether you’re celebrating with friends, family, or that special someone, Sea Raptor Escapes is the ultimate way to toast the holidays - cozy, customizable, and completely unforgettable.
Lights, Music & Magic
Seattle’s skyline becomes your stage as you glide across Lake Union surrounded by glowing reflections, shimmering lights, and your favorite holiday tunes. Whether you’re sipping spiked cocoa or shaking up custom cocktails, every moment feels straight out of a snow globe. The entire boat shines with warm LEDs, ornaments, and just enough chaos to make the North Pole jealous.
Warmth & Good Spirits
Step inside a cabin so warm and inviting it feels like Christmas morning on the water. Kick back with friends, family, or that special someone while the heat hums, lights twinkle, and your playlist fills the air. With seating for six, BYOB freedom, and décor that would make Santa do a double-take, this is your private floating holiday lounge - where you bring the spirit, and we bring the sparkle.
