Seattle Summer Superyachts Welcome to the PNW!
ELISA, Christensen Superyacht, 45m motor yacht just arrived in Seattle
ELISA, Christensen Superyacht just arrived in Seattle WA. She just made her way through the Ballard Locks, at the time of these featured images and YouTube Video – she was standing by to stand by for a Ballard Bridge lift. These hovering Captains of superyachts do so right in front of our Salty Dog floating acres – this involves lots of conversations with boats across the canal. Elisa Captain is doing a good job dodging fishing boats that are dropping strings of pots, seiners, tugs, barges, sailors, party powerboats, skiffs, crew boats and kayakers.
Friday’s in the WA Ship Canal are always bustling with boat activity. Next up for Elisa after she clears the Ballard Bridge is a lift for the Fremont Bridge then home free in Lake Union. Superyachts in the Pacific Northwest are arriving lately like crazy – we welcome all superyacht owners & crew!

ELISA, Seattle Superyacht just go her Ballard Bridge Lift – way to go Capt!
For years now we have been hearing the scuttle-butt that some superyacht captains don’t want to make their way through the Ballard Locks, to the Ballard Bridge and wait for a lift then next up the Fremont Bridge with another bridge lift. In the Pacific NW from the Puget Sound to Lake Union the locks and NW bridges are a way to boat life.
Commercial fishing is a way of life to thousands of fishermen who call Seattle and the Pacific NW home. There is something about NW boaters that makes them ‘take a chill pill’ when running any boat in NW waters. Boaters in the NW just seem more aware of their surroundings and aware. Our dramatic tides, seasons and weather conditions have a way of educating NW boaters very quickly!
