    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!

    Nice tour

    Jose_G, Aug 2026
    Great experiences. The whole crowd was very professional and caring . It was fabulous and we could admire Seattle from a different point

    Sunset was stunning....

    Jennifer_A, Aug 2026
    Sunset was stunning. Staff were wonderful. Views were incredible. My only complaint is about the rudeness of other travelers- not quite sure how to handle or correct the situation as they came from other counties.

    There were too many...

    Lexi_S, Aug 2026
    There were too many people. I thought it would be a quiet and relaxing evening and it was very loud and chaotic. Hard to see the beautiful sunsets with crowded boat.

    Sailing into a sunset delight

    Giulia_R, Aug 2026
    The crew was very efficient and fast in handling the sails, the captain gave good instruction on what to expect Friendly

    Avinash_K, Aug 2026
    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 :)

    Great Evening Sail in Seattle

    Jeroen_V, Aug 2026
    Great sail - very nice experience - friendly crew and amazing views of Seattle and the surrounding area!

    Amazing Sunset Cruise

    Scott_M, Aug 2026
    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!

    7:30 departure was a perfect experience

    Samantha_J, Aug 2026
    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!!

    Amazing!

    Carrie_L, Aug 2026
    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!

    A must!

    SARAH_B, Aug 2026

    Spectacular views 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!

    Great time

    Aubrey_B, Jul 2026
