Freight and Packing Guidelines

All items must be labeled with name, contact information and destination.

Pets must remain in a pet cage and the owner must stay with the pet, which will remain in the designated pet area, on the outer deck, at all times while underway.
Please reserve space for pet transport, there is a maximum number of pets allowed to be transported each day, due to space restrictions.
Pets weighing 100 lbs. or less are allowed on the boats.
The following are the pet related rates:
Lady of the Lake Summer and Lady Express Winter: $10.00 one-way in the owner’s cage / $15.50 one-way in a Boat Company cage.
Lady Express Summer: $25.00 one-way in the owner’s cage
The charge is per pet, not per cage. If 2 pets are transported together in one Boat Company cage, the charge is $25.50 each way ($15.50 + $10.00). Pets may only be combined into one cage if the size of the cage will comfortably accommodate both of them. Lake Chelan Boat Company does not guarantee the availability of cages large enough to accommodate two pets.
