Great on a clear night with sunset and views of the bay. Especially loved the chance to participate and hoist the main sail . Later I got to steer. Crew was warm and engaging . Appreciated the history and some marine biology . Captain was knowledgeable of the boat and marine life - women staff were capable and generous

    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!

    Great way to see the city!

    pischkebrooke, Nov 2026
    Such a fantastic experience and a really fun way to see Seattle! The crew was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made everything so easy from start to finish. The views of the city from the water were absolutely beautiful, and it was such a relaxing and enjoyable way to spend a few hours. You can bring your own snacks on board, and they serve drinks, which makes the experience even better! Great atmosphere, amazing views, and a wonderful crew. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Seattle or looking for a fun way to enjoy the city!

    Sailing takes me away!!!!

    Rare and memorable...

    James_W, Oct 2026
    Rare and memorable experience to be under sail with beautiful sunset and view of city. We had a windy day that was an advantage. Crew and captain were friendly and skilled. As noted in trip information, need to dress for weather and chill. However, warm outer covers available as were various beverages.

    Beautiful adventure

    Mari_F, Oct 2026
    We had a wonderful adventure celebrating our 25th anniversary aboard this gorgeous boat. The entire crew was wonderful. Everyone was knowledgeable about the boat itself, as well as surrounding areas in landmarks. Professional yet very fun.

    Finding your peace on a sailboat

    Alex_K, Oct 2026
    Very coordinated and pleasant crew! Peaceful and beautiful experience! Dress warmly! Great view of Seattle from the water! Special thanks to Ava who was so reassuring!I was rushing as my flight was delayed and so dropped my bags at the hotel and then took an uber in major traffic and barely made it on time!

    Absolutely wonderful!...

    The weather was absolutely perfect, and the staff was phenomenal 💙 The views were very picturesque. I took an amazing picture of Mt Rainer that no one believes is real.

    A lovely sunset cruise...

    Courtney_M, Oct 2026
    A lovely sunset cruise with beverage service and polite, knowledgeable crew. It left/returned on time and we had amazing views of the mountains and city.

    Very unique experience...

    John_C, Oct 2026
    Very unique experience and you even get to help put the sails up!!! Make sure to dress warm because it’s super cold!

    Dress for the weather

    Troy_F, Oct 2026
    Don't forget to dress for the weather. It was 65, but with the wind on the open water, it felt like 45. It was still a very enjoyable time, and I was able to get incredible photos of the city skyline and the sunset.

    Molly_K, Oct 2026
    Very pleasant boat tour with nice views of Seattle and the sunset. The crew were friendly & get willing guests involved in helping raise the sails.

    Great Sail.

    kenneth_s, Sep 2026
    It was my wife's birthday and she was able to help raise one of the sails on the ship. A little chilly, but we sat behind the caddy so managed to avoid most of the wind. A couple got engaged while we were sailing so that was cool.

    Wonderful

    cynthia_f, Sep 2026
    Great addition to our Seattle experience. Don’t hesitate to book this experience . Crew was fabulous

    Beautiful Sunset views

    Ladiny_P, Sep 2026
    This is a beautiful tour all along the coast of Seattle. From there you are able to see all the different views of the mountains and the Seattle piers. It was not like those tours that explain all the different landmarks around, but rather it was a place to just hang out, have a drink and soak in the Seattle air. We had the opportunity to witness a light up canon (super loud) and the opportunity to work with the staff to raise the sails. Had a wonderful time conversing with the staff as well. The perfect end to a wonderful day in Seattle.

    Great way to see the sunset

    Nice time on the water. Went late September and got lucky with zero rain. Lovely staff just be sure to bring a jacket !

    I called and left a...

    Maximino_M, Sep 2026
    I called and left a voicemail at 9 am to call me back because my flight to Seattle was delayed and no one called me or message me. Zero response. Communication was a failure.

    Beautiful sunset Color Tour. Not much help for wheelchair.

    Brian_W, Sep 2026
    Enjoyed this sailing and beautiful landscape colors God gave us to enjoy! A bit crowded, but able to move around some. The crew gave the least amount of assistance and or consideration to a d for my wife, in a wheelchair, than any activity we have done since she has been using the chair.

    The sailboat was worth it...

    Cheryll_S, Sep 2026
    The sailboat was worth it no matter if its drizzling Seattle rain or not. It was lightly sprinkling to start and they gave us ponchos and blankets. The views of the city are so magnificent from the water. The crew was very nice, accommodating and knew what they were doing. I would recommend this boat for all that want to experience Seattle from the water!

    Worth every dollar

    Michelle_E, Sep 2026
    I had an amazing time. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. amazing views. Even though it rained the first few minutes and it was cloudy, the views were still amazing, and we were all given blankets, ponchos, and hot chocolate.
