Come sailing on Seattle’s Tall Ship, a historic 19th-century style gaff-rigged schooner. We offer three public sailing tours daily from Seattle’s downtown waterfront. Our beautiful sailing ship, the Bay Lady, evokes the romance of traditional sailing as we work together to set the sails, turn off the engine, and sail off into an age of cannon fire and sunsets behind the untouched mountain ranges of the Puget Sound. Bay Lady is the largest public sailing vessel in Seattle. With her high railing and comfortable seating, she is the premier boat ride for families. Enjoy a drink from our onboard bar and set sail into the perfect day on the water!

Watch seaplane arrivals and departures and see landmark Seattle locations like the iconic Space Needle, Seattle Great Wheel, the Fremont Bridge, Gas Works Park, the University of Washington and much more — plus a plethora of floating homes, including the one from the popular movie ‘Sleepless in Seattle.’ Choose from a morning, midday, afternoon or evening cruise. Bring your own beer or wine!

Cruise out to the heart of the Puget Sound on this sunset cruise departing from Gig Harbor. Enjoy a smooth water cruise on the restored classic Northwest built charter boat, views of wildlife and the Olympic Mountain range, and learn about your surroundings from the informative narrative. Passengers are welcome to bring a picnic and beverages to enjoy onboard.

See Seattle and its surrounding views from a unique vantage point on a small-group sea kayak tour to Alki Lighthouse. This aquatic excursion is perfect for travelers seeking an immersive and dynamic sightseeing experience. No previous kayak experience is required, and you can choose a 1-person or 2-person kayak. As you paddle across the calm bay, enjoy unobstructed views of the Olympic Mountains, Seattle skyline, and more.

Your services cater to people who want to enjoy fishing but don't have the necessary skills or equipment, including access to a boat or knowledge of fishing locations. You will be able to enjoy great views of the Puget Sound at each fishing location. Captain Kyle provides on-site tutorials that teach clientele a unique Japanese American-influenced style of fishing, called “Mooching”. The tutorial is suitable for all levels of fishers. Most salmon fishers and charters use a different technique that uses a downrigger, which isn't engaging and can't feel the fish bite like "mooching". The Catch Mooching for salmon offers a more interactive experience, allowing customers to feel the excitement of actively hooking a fish. This technique involves casting out a line with a herring hooked to a leader and attached to a sinker. As the herring sinks and spins through the water, its movement mimics natural prey, drawing in the salmon and enticing them to bite.

See Seattle’s striking skyline from the water’s edge—and admire a new perspective on the Pacific Northwest scenery—aboard this private sailing tour from Bainbridge Island. Meet your captain at the Bainbridge Island City Dock, hop aboard the sailboat, and set off through Eagle Harbor before raising sails. You can see Seattle and Mt. Rainier, look out for seals and whales, and soak up the peaceful ambiance of Puget Sound.

Taking a day trip from Seattle to Victoria in British Columbia can be complicated and time-pressured. Instead, enjoy a convenient and hassle-free way to travel with round-trip tickets aboard the high-speed Victoria Clipper ferry. The vessel takes you on a relaxing cruise through Puget Sound to Victoria’s Inner Harbour. This is a passenger-only ferry featuring comfortable seats, a duty-free gift shop, and other amenities to make your trip seamless.

Learn the basics of whitewater rafting while paddling the upper Skagit River, with a whitewater guide to ensure a safe, fun experience for your entire group. You can focus on technique or just enjoy the ride, which passes through nine miles (14.5 km.) of gorgeous North Cascades scenery, Class III rapids, and sections of flat water that are perfect for swimming.

This cruise takes you through the heart of Puget Sound. It is the only public sunset cruise on Puget Sound with this extended duration and distance traveled, nearly 30 miles, round trip. Our cruise is available to individual travelers rather than groups only. Our vessel, "RIVIERA" is a restored, USCG certified, classic Northwest built charter boat. She and her captain and crew are steeped in Puget Sound legacy and experience. This is a smooth-water cruise. Wildlife ranges from seagulls to Bald Eagles, seals and sea lions. Can't miss Mt. Rainier for hours and the Olympic Mountain range unimpeded except for some clouds. You can bring-your-own snacks and drinks, no alcohol please. This is an interactive trip where we candidly and casually interpret our surroundings. There is plenty of time on this cruise where you are left to enjoy the cruise without interruption. We will talk with you and answer your questions along the way. (Senior Age is 62. Tour is recommended for ages 10 and above.)

I've been doing sailing tours for 10 years, and compared to the bigger boats, with more passengers, I offer more intimate setting with great history on an antique modern sailing yacht.
