Staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, very good with small talk, if you get a chance to volunteer to lift the sails, take it! Loved the refreshments available and all the options for seating and moving throughout the boat, very safe, very relaxing, and the view was incredible the entire duration.

    This couldn’t have been a better choice for a sunset sail. The ship is beautiful and well maintained. The crew, Molly, Clark and Meko are pleasant and easy to be around. Ben, the captain, is a very knowledgeable sailor and is interesting to visit with. Helping raise the sails was fun for the stronger crew mates and fun to watch. The water and colors of the sky couldn’t be any more beautiful. Each evening would be different. Even caught a glimpse of a pod of dolphins. Definitely would do again next time we are visiting Seattle.

    Sunset Funset Crew

    Cynthia_W, Jun 2026
    Great Crew. They love what they do and it shows. A lot of positive energy. It was just as much fun watching them work with the sails as it was watching the amazing sunset.

    Sunset Sail

    Karen_B, Jun 2026
    The Evening Colors Sunset Sail aboard the Bay Lady schooner was an absolutely unforgettable experience! The crew, particularly Captain Nick and crewmember Chad, were excellent, incredibly friendly, and made everyone feel right at home. The crew kept things interactive by letting us help hoist the massive sails before the sail across Elliott Bay. While it was a mostly overcast day, we did not notice that we couldn't see much of a sunset because we were having so much fun! If you want a top-tier sailing adventure with a world-class crew, book this cruise immediately!

    Beautiful Evening

    Steven_W, May 2026
    Truly a beautiful evening… the crew was friendly and professional. The water, the evening colors, the views… all beautiful. One caution - bring extra layers! It gets cold as the evening progresses, even in just 2 hours.

    Wonderful experience....

    As with most people I met in Seattle, the crew was very friendly. The hot tea that was offered was a pleasant relief against the chill in the air. The sunset was beautiful.
