Lake Chelan Boat Company Come visit beautiful Lake Chelan and take a scenic cruise into the heart of the North Cascade Mountains aboard one of the Lake Chelan Boat Company vessels.

In April of 1889 the BELLE OF CHELAN cast off her moorings and set sail on a maiden voyage to the head of Lake Chelan. She was the first of many commercial vessels to ply the waters of the lake. The BELLE started a tradition that spans three centuries. In the early days cargo consisted primarily of prospectors and their mighty dreams, but that era quickly gave way to tourists as word of the spectacular natural beauty found in the upper reaches of Lake Chelan spread throughout the country. That tradition lives on in modern day boat travel. The only things that seem to have changed are the names of the boats and the means by which they are powered. Due to the rugged terrain, no roads were ever built to the end of the lake, which is the key reason the northern valley remains as pristine as the day man first laid his eyes upon her. As we travel uplake we will bridge the gap between desert and forest, traveling from the arid climate of the lower Lake Chelan Valley through the foothills, and finally deep into the Cascade Mountain Range. Along the way you will lay witness to some of Mother Nature’s finest work, though she certainly didn’t spend much time polishing up. She left behind some of the roughest mountain peaks anywhere in the world. We believe that this is more than just a boat trip, it is an experience to be remembered, encompassing scenery, history and people along the way.

Celebrating 20 Years with Shannon!
20 years ago this week, Shannon began her career in the front office of the Lake Chelan Boat Co. Since then, she has been a constant and steady presence through so many seasons, challenges, changes, and unforgettable moments.
There are so many things we do every day that simply wouldn’t be possible without her. Her dedication, dependability, and willingness to jump in and help wherever she’s needed make her an invaluable part of our team.
Through the busy summers, the unexpected challenges, and all the craziness that comes with running a boat company, Shannon has been someone we can always count on.
Thank you, Shannon, for 20 years of dedication, hard work, and always being there when we need you. We are so grateful for everything you do and feel incredibly lucky to have you as part of the Lake Chelan Boat Co. family. Here’s to celebrating you and all the years of memories you’ve helped us make!
