    I went on a sailing tour on my last day in Seattle because I wanted to see the city skyline from the water. We were lucky with the weather — a mix of clouds and sunshine made it even more beautiful. It was such a peaceful and relaxing experience. The crew took wonderful care of everyone on board, offering warm blankets and drinks, which made the trip feel extra cozy. Overall, a lovely experience — highly recommend!

    Don't forget your sunscreen even on overcast days. Nick and Clark were fantastic crew members. Don't remember the captain's name, sorry.

    Great Views of Seattle

    Gilberto_P, May 2026
    Tour took about 2 hours total. Our group comprised of 4 adults and two young kids. It is a sailing ship, so the pace can be a little slow depending on the wind, but that's fine as the point is to get a nice view of the city skyline and the surrounding islands. We helped put up the sail, which was fun and probably legitimately helps the crew. Drinks are available for purchase, which our group took advantage of while enjoying the views which were great, but that is weather dependent. We were able to see the Mt Rainer on our trip, which was a highlight. The captain was really nice to our niece and let her steer the ship while telling her all about sailing. That was really cute and we greatly appreciated it. The crew was nice and was quick to spark up a conversation with passengers. Overall, I would recommend. Only other thing I would note is that we did have to leave our stroller on the dock as there wasn't anywhere good for it to rest on the ship.

    Terrific Tall Ship Trip

    The staff was friendly and helpful. Captain Eric was knowledgeable and entertaining. The entire trip was fun and relaxing. The crew was cognizant of the time but didn’t make us feel rushed. There were drinks, snacks, and souvenirs available for purchase.

    Great afternoon on the water!

    It was fun. Chris and Madison were good crew, and Anthony was a good captain. Focused on safety. Added some fun elements such as letting guests raise the sails, and firing a toy cannon off the boat. It was an all around fun tour.

    Lovely 2 hours in Seattle

    Was perfect for a first date, got to participate in raising the sails too. Crew was awesome and they had beverages on board for purchase. Would definitely go again!

    Best chill activity to prove Seattle really is impressive.

    Amari_A, Sep 2025
    Blankets, Great drinks, shy wild life and wonderful views. What more could you ask for? How about a cheerful, educational, staff making every mundane boating action engaging and amusing. 10 /10 will definitely rebook.

    Highly HIGHLY Recommend

    Michele_G, Sep 2025
    It was PHENOMENAL!!!!! Very professional staff; yet very personable. They always referred to you by your first name. It was a perfect day. The seating was extremely comfortable. I was on crutches and left them in the car because they had a wheelchair for me. Perfect weather. Very relaxing. Vibe was excellent!!!! Definitely worth another visit. Next time I’m doing their sunset sail. I HIGHLY recommend them

    Denine_G, Sep 2025
    This experience was well organized from the moment I reserved a spot. I received a courtesy call to ensure I was aware of the meeting point, time, and an opportunity to ask any questions. Upon arrival, I was greeted with kindness by every one onboard. The crew clearly love their job and being on the water! It was interactive for those that wanted to help or learn a little about sailing. The views were beautiful even on a cloudy day...so glad it didn't rain. Beverages including alcohol is available on the boat. The staff were very friendly and approachable. It was perfect for the last day of my trip to Seattle. Thanks Nick and all!

    Pleasant and a chance to get on the water

    Cheryl_R, Sep 2025
    I enjoyed this as a way to fill time but it was somewhat boring on a cloudy day. The mountains were obscured by clouds and the shoreline obscured by freighters. Crew very friendly and attentive. The boat was full making moving around difficult. I’m not sure what I expected but I guess I thought I would be able to see more. It was peaceful being on the water.

    We had such an amazing time. The crew was very friendly and took care of us throughout the sailing adventure. I also enjoyed the great wines being served, being able to help with the sails and of course - the views were stunning.
