If you're dying to get out in the water but can't afford a boat, the Center For Wooden Boats is the best way to go. Take advantage of one of Seattle's best features: Lake Union. Rent a rowboat or a sailboat, or sign up for a lesson. If you've ever wanted to sail a classic gaff rigged boat, here's your chance! All the money you spend goes to sustaining this classic boating museum and providing boating programs to underprivileged kids. This is one of the few places in Seattle that offers sailing lessons one-on-one with instructors - and the price is about the same as if you were in a big group setting.
