Picnic Pick-Up
From European charcuterie to mesquite smoked salmon, snack in style with these local purveyors’ super luxe, ready-made picnic baskets, which can be ordered online, picked up curbside, or even delivered straight to the stern before you cast off.
Olympia Provisions Euro Charcuterie Box
Snap up online, ship home, and stash away for a pleasant day: The top tier selection in this mail-order box from Portland’s Olympia Provisions includes four globally influenced salami crafted by the salumeria, house-made paté, and pickled beets, plus artisan mustard, Jacobsen honey, almonds, buttery Castelvetrano olives, crackers, and a favorite cheese of the moment. $140 // olympiaprovisions.com.
DeLaurenti Old-School Antipasti Sampler
It couldn’t be easier to get this sweet sampler from Pike Place Market staple DeLaurenti Food and Wine—call or order online, then pick it up two hours later using their curbside service. The classic selection includes fine-crafted Italian meats, perfectly aged cheeses, and favorites from their deli like stuffed peppers, grilled artichokes, and, of course, the grocer’s mix of marinated olives. (Seattle residents can also score same-day shipping to any address, order by 2 p.m. and get it no later than 8 p.m.!) $75-$250
// delaurenti.com. Gourmondo Mesquite Salmon Box
The star of this picnic—a sweet and smoky mesquite salmon filet served atop a black bean and quinoa salad—is supported by a stellar supporting cast that includes a quartet of appetizers (think: a smoked duck breast skewer with huckleberry mostarda and poached prawns with roasted garlic and lemon aioli), plus a crisp Green Goddess salad and the company’s famous vegan “ding dong” dessert bite. Get it delivered to pretty much any Seattle or Eastside slip for a $10 fee; orders close the prior business day, so plan a little ahead. $29.95 per personal-sized box //

The PicNic Table Picnic Basket No. 3
From marinated olives to beetroot salad, Tuscan nuts to Umbrian farro-kale salad, this is one fantastic feast that also features country-style pork terrine, chicken pâté, smoked salmon deviled eggs, cheese and charcuterie, Sicilian cannoli, and Tuscan steak salad. It is available for pickup from the cute Woodinville cafe, conveniently located near several wineries should you wish for a stellar red to go alongside the indulgent repast.
