SSP has a new reservation online system. As a returning user, you now have the ability to sign into your Open Boating account, view boat availability on the day of your choice, and make a reservation. With this new system take note:

  • Paddling equipment (SUPS + Kayaks) are walk up only!
  • Each account may reserve up to 3 sessions at a time. We request that you limit yourself to one reservation per day.
  • Passes are only for sale in person at SSP, if your pass is expired, or you do not have one, you can still reserve!
  • Skills tests are currently walk up only. We recommend stopping by during our non peak hours, specifically before 5:30 on both weekdays and weekends.
  • During the season, we recommend calling ahead during Open Boating hours to confirm the availability of skills tests. You can reach our Open Boating staff at Sail Sand Point’s number followed by the Open Boating extension; (206) 525-8782 ext. 101.

Arrival and signing out your boat

  1. Proceed directly to the Dockmaster’s desk in the main garage bay to check in. If you need to purchase a pass or pay for your session, payment will be collected at this time.
  2. The Dockmaster will ensure that you and your party all have an electronically signed SSP Participant Agreement prior to arrival, if not you will be asked to complete these either on your mobile device at one of our waiver kiosks. Please note that ALL children and adults participating in SSP programs must have a current participant agreement signed before participating.
  3. Proceed to rig and launch your boat, if you need to perform a skills check, the open boating instructor will give you further instruction.
