History

We were inspired to create this place for writers, artists, dreamers and creatives, but Big Ruby is also for anyone else who wants to stay aboard a really cool boat in the heart of Seattle! Choose your own adventure...

Specialties

Welcome to Ruby Refuge! Big Ruby is a 32' Sundowner Tugboat moored on Lake Union, available for overnight stays. Big Ruby is a creative space, a romantic hideout, a quiet retreat, a place to focus or be inspired -- or someplace to unplug completely. Big Ruby has a galley (kitchen/living area) a pilot house, a berth (sleeping nook) and a head (small bathroom). There are also lots of places on the deck to relax and soak in the sun...when it's around.
