Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Transportation Only to Blake Island
Can I take my own boat to Tillicum Village?
Blake Island is accessible only by Argosy or private boat. Please note: Argosy does not reserve the moorage for private boats. For information, call Washington State Parks at (360) 902-8844 or the information line at (360) 731-8330 or visit http://www.parks.wa.gov/boating/moorage/.
Can I just take the boat out to the island and not do the salmon dinner and show?
Yes, tickets are available for the boat ride only to Blake Island at $40 per person roundtrip. Please be aware that frequently there is only one boat per day, or per week, that returns back to Seattle so if you miss the boat then you are stuck on the island until the next scheduled trip (space permitting)! It is your responsibility to catch the return boat at your reserved time. Please call Argosy Cruises at 206-622-8687 for pricing and availability.
What is the cost to have the meal and show if we find our own way to the island?
If you plan on bringing your own private boat to Blake Island and have reserved moorage through Washington State Parks, you can still purchase tickets for the salmon meal and show only at Tillicum Village.
Rates are: $39.95 per person, show and meal combined.
Please call Argosy Cruises at 206-622-8687 to reserve space.
If I'm just riding the boat, do I have to specify which departure back from the island I want to take?

Please be aware that often there is only one boat per day that returns back to Seattle. If you miss the boat then you could be stuck on the island until the next scheduled trip (space permitting)!
