The M/Y Alliance is a 136' Delta Marine yacht used for entertaining PACCAR clients, customers, and suppliers.

The operation of the yacht should be a reflection of PACCAR's culture and an example of PACCAR quality. The captain is directly responsible for the yacht and yacht operations.
The vessel's home port is Meydenbauer Bay, Bellevue Washington. The summer cruising season runs from May to September and consists of up to twentry-five cruise trips, with two to four night per trip for up to eight guests. Days off are provided between trips for crew time off and next trip preparation. Cruising is done on inland waters of Washington State and British Columbia. Before and after the summer season, spring and fall dinner cruises are run on Lake Washington with sit-down dining for up to twenty-four passengers. In the past specialty cruises have included summer cruises in Alaska winter cruising in Mexico.
The Alliance runs with a crew of four - captain, engineer, chef, and steward. Each crew member has a private cabin, head, and shower. The crew operates with the attitude of all-hands helping or everyone-helps-everyone flexible approach.
