On the Hiyu

Seattle's premier fully renovated floating event space for corporate events, weddings, and private parties. Rainier. 🚢

Cruise with us on Lake Union - Lake Washington & enjoy the breathtaking views of the Seattle skyline and Mt. After ferrying people throughout the Puget Sound for nearly 50 years, the once retired Hiyu ferry is being brought to Lake Union, where the ferry will be restored and resurrected into a floating live venue for music, cabaret and festival cruises throughout Lake Union and Lake Washington. Menagerie Seattle will begin their cruise events this summer through the end of the year. Cruises will offer a variety of themes, including live music and entertainment. Tickets for cruises will be available online beginning in April.

Every Obsidian night aboard has its own gravity 🌋 OBSIDIAN

A collective born from fire and transformation, moving through afro-house, house and indie dance, always chasing connection. The shows go deep and the energy is unmatched. Sama’, Nitefreak, Monkey Safari, Omri, Temple, MoBlack, they’ve all played the water with Obsidian.

This Saturday it’s Maxi Meraki, straight from the Burning Man playa onto the boat. A fitting full circle for a collective that came from that same fire.
