Loved the tour, but wear proper clothing for cold weather. It was different than your typical harbor tour, the German chocolate alcohol was great! I would suggest improving signage and directions of the meeting place though. The views of Downtown Seattle and the sunset over Puget Sound were breathtaking.

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 husband & I went to Seattle for my birthday. This was our first cruise/experience when we landed in Seattle, and it was fantastic! Thanks to the marvelous captain & crew!

Poor Experience

Patrick_H, Oct 2025

This was a disappointment. Crew was friendly, but to call it a sailing experience is a far stretch. The tour is 2 hours long. And at least 1 1/2 hours is spent getting in and out. If we were actually under sail for a half an hour that would be a lot. Not worth the money !!

Great tour!

Alan_P, Oct 2025
