Historic wooden steamship private charters
Host a celebration aboard a wooden steam-powered ship.
The Steamer Virginia V Foundation
The foundation offers wedding and private-event charters aboard Virginia V, a historic all-wood vessel with a triple-expansion steam engine. Guests can inquire about a dockside gathering at its Lake Union homeport or a separately planned cruise on local waters.
Current location note / listed area: Seattle, Washington; Lake Union dockside events and arranged local charters
Dockside rental and an underway charter are different arrangements. Confirm vessel operation, route, weather limits, access, capacity including vendors, catering and date directly. No particular sailing itinerary, engine-room access, hands-on navigation or safety certification is guaranteed. Photo-only hourly rentals are not event bookings. Current charter pages link future-season information, but this listing does not establish a reserved date or availability.
