If you plan on travelling to Seattle any time soon, don’t be shocked when you come accross these floating hot tub boats! They should be coming to the Lake Union very soon, potentially in time for summer. They are set to become a common part of Seattle’s summery scenery.
These Hot tub boats do what they say on the tin basically! Simply put, they’re floating hot tubs. Before you check you calender to see if it is April 1st, yes these ARE real!
They plan to have a fleet of hot tub boats ready and raring to go for the summer (they’ll probably need a good clean after each use so try this - www.myhottubchemicals.co.uk). Here’s what they’ll look like -
These hot tub boats are suitable for up to 6 people and are powered by a small diesel boiler that keeps the water warm. The only downside is that you are expected to produce a Washington State Boater’s Safety Card to be able to rent one and don’t allow booze on board (BOO!).
“We know, this is going to bum quite a few of you out,” says the company behind hot tub boats “Just take a moment and look at it from our liability perspective. Besides, ‘They’ always tell you drinking and hot tubs don’t mix.”
Another buzzkill is that they will enforce you to keep your clothes on: “We ask that you please wear appropriate swim attire, whatever that means to you. Please refrain from nudity while renting a Hot Tub Boat and insure all the important bits are covered. Let’s make sure that all feel comfortable and welcome on the lake.” Not for late night romance then!
Prices will be announced shortly.
