Fun, exciting experience! The crew made the cruise memorable including us in hoisting the sails and explaining safe practices. Friendly, professional crew who engaged with passengers throughout the cruise. A beautiful night with a light wind, gorgeous sunset, and night light Seattle skyline. Highly recommend sailing the Tall Ship. Small world- Capt Nick is from Oklahoma, too! Thanks to the crew for a great time!

My experience was great! It does tend to get a bit chilly, so bring in a sweater. Sunset colors are absolutely gorgeous and this cruise is worth trying out atleast once if you're in Seattle!
Plus, they had wine on board :)

One of our favorite activities to do while visiting Seattle. The sunset cruise was amazing. The staff was friendly, fun and knowledgeable. The small canon fired at the end of the trip was an added bonus. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time aboard! Could not have asked for a kinder and more fun staff and fellow passengers. The boat is full, maybe around 30-45 people (? I am not sure), but it was a very peaceful ride with the sound of waves and pleasant conversation. We had so much fun helping hoist the sails! Drinks were awesome, extremely well priced, and the service was so welcoming and kind. We even met a new friend aboard. I couldn't recommend this enough! The 7:30-9:30 timeframe is when you see the sunset in the summer, it grew dark just as we got back to the dock. Very important! Don't schedule earlier in the summer if you want the sunset!!
FYI, get there 20 mins before your departure time! We got there AT departure time after running late and it was definitely a jog. If you're 10+ mins late they will most likely have to leave without you. They do give a number to call if you're running late and there is parking at the Marriott directly across from check in. It's valet and about $45 for the 2 hours. Awesome time!!

This sunrise cruise was amazing! Anyone that is here in Seattle should do this cruise. The crew is wonderful, the interaction and attention to detail was wonderful, and it was overall one of the greatest excursions I have done!
SARAH_B, Aug 2026
What an amazing experience with beautiful views! And the staff made it even more enjoyable. I highly recommend if you are visiting Seattle.

This was a nice evening experiencing Seattle from a different view. Very chilly on the open water, but the ride was fun!

Absolutely divine evening; crisp, cool weather, great views and drinks! The staff were efficient, kind, accommodating and provided an immersive experience. A relaxing end to any day. Set sail on tall ship in Seattle!
Sarah_N, Jul 2026
We had a wonderful time on the Bay Lady! Despite the rain, we were treated to a lovely evening on the waterfront. The crew was very accommodating and provided us with ponchos and blankets (was a bit chilly) and we had stunning views from our schooner. A relaxed and comfortable vibe, good time had by all!
Aubrey_B, Jul 2026
The sailing boat ride was a perfect ending to our perfect trip! It was relaxing ride and staff was friendly! Wish the weather was better so we could have had a sunset but we didnt get that.
Kaylee_R, Jul 2026
This was a wonderful way to spend a summer evening with friends. Very cool way to see the Seattle skyline. 10/10 would do again!
Jennifer_V, Jul 2026
Was even better than I expected! The crew was so friendly and engaging, really taking the time to make everyone feel comfortable. And we really did hit the perfect Seattle night to hit the sunset cruise. Clear skies made for the perfect experience. Highly recommend!
Melinda_K, Jul 2026
After spending two weeks in WA, visiting Mount Rainier, Ruby Beach and so many wonderful places, we decided to spend our last night in the city and booked the sunset sailboat cruise. It was the perfect way to end a memorable trip. It was fun and relaxing. The crew was friendly and gave a lot of great information. I highly recommend this cruise, not only for a different perspective of the beauty of Seattle but for a fun and relaxing evening.
Cheryl_C, Jul 2026
Very weather dependent. We had some bad weather in close proximity, so we just circled in Elliott bay. Lovely sail, but didn’t see as much if weather better
PATRI_P, Jul 2026
Very entertaining trip over the ocean. Provide with beverages. Be dressed appropriately. I recommend
Diane_W, Jul 2026
It was a great way to end the day. The sailboat had plenty of room for people to walk around and the staff were wonderful. The colors of the sky were beautiful! I highly recommend this tour.
Lita_T, Jul 2026
We had an amazing night out on the Puget Sound. The staff was all very accommodating and the weather was perfect. We learned about the sailboat, enjoyed some drinks, and watched as teh sun set over the mountains.
Irene_N, Jul 2026
Wow! I really cannot say enough about how amazing this experience was! We were fortunate enough to visit during a sunny and clear day in July, which I’m sure made our sunset even more incredible. But the experience of being on the boat and out in the. puget sound for sunset was really amazing! The entire crew of the ship really made the experience so much fun, there was lots of opportunity to interact by helping to raise the sails, and our nine-year-old son even had the chance to pilot the boat. They had a bar on board with plenty of options for alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages and the crew would come around the ship regularly asking if you needed anything else. I made for a really easy experience! There is a restroom on board, so need no need to worry. The check-in process was very easy and there was plenty of seats on board. The Cannon launch was really a cute touch to the experience and our son really enjoyed the excitement and humor it added. Make sure you pack warm layers, because even on an 81° sunshine day in July, we were plenty chili by the time we really got closer to sunset. We packed a warm layer, and a windbreaker, and we were perfectly comfortable! Really I recommend this experience enough, it was the perfect end to our time in Seattle!

Gorgeous and stunning views! The serene, smooth sailing on the Lady was an amazing way to spend time with family while viewing the Seattle skyline, Mt. Rainier and the sun setting on the mountains.
Donald_C, Jul 2026
Bring warm clothes. It got pretty chilly out on the water. Ship had drinks and snack for purchase and 2 bathrooms on board.
The little canon they set off was fun.
I wish they had some kind of narration telling facts, etc about the area and pointing iut places of interest.
Angela_P, Jul 2026
Wonderful experience from cannon going off, to rigging the sails and beautiful sunset! Highly recommended
Brian_S, Jul 2026
Great crew! Be sure to bring a coat as the temperature on the water drops significantly as the trip evolves. Highly recommend.
Barbara_G, Jul 2026
Nice to be on the water, the crew was friendly, but it definitely felt like a tour meant to drink. Got on the boat, departed, they took drink orders, they asked for a few volunteers, that was fun - then it was all about getting refills. Too long of a ride if you’re not drinking. I understand it was not a guided tour, but a bit of info about the city, mount rainier, sea animals in the area, something, would have been nice.
Krystell_F, Jul 2026
Crew was amazing and very engaging. Cruise was a lot of fun. Good beverage selection and lots of warm blankets.
Elizabeth_R, Jul 2026
Enjoying the sailing and peaceful time with nature. All crew members great and captain. Great moment and pictures.
Robert_K, Jul 2026
Overpriced for only a boat trip. Nothing is included- not a complimentary drink of any sort (not even water) nor any complimentary food item (bags of chips were on boat but not offered). For $75, its just two hours on the water.
