Absolutely amazing! A beautiful boat and crew that are professional and fun!! Can’t beat the views of Seattle from the water!! If you volunteer, you can help hoist the sails!! Bonus is being able to purchase a beverage for the beautiful sunset sail that we did!

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.

After hoisting the sails, we’ll cut the engine and enjoy the tranquility on our beautiful schooner. As the sun sets, we will celebrate another beautiful summer day in the Pacific Northwest!

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.

Must do.

Diane_W, Jul 2026

It was a great way to end the day. The sailboat had plenty of room for people to walk around and the staff were wonderful. The colors of the sky were beautiful! I highly recommend this tour.

Great night at sea

Lita_T, Jul 2026

We had an amazing night out on the Puget Sound. The staff was all very accommodating and the weather was perfect. We learned about the sailboat, enjoyed some drinks, and watched as teh sun set over the mountains.

Incredible views, friendly crew, unforgettable experience!

Irene_N, Jul 2026

Wow! I really cannot say enough about how amazing this experience was! We were fortunate enough to visit during a sunny and clear day in July, which I’m sure made our sunset even more incredible. But the experience of being on the boat and out in the. puget sound for sunset was really amazing! The entire crew of the ship really made the experience so much fun, there was lots of opportunity to interact by helping to raise the sails, and our nine-year-old son even had the chance to pilot the boat. They had a bar on board with plenty of options for alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages and the crew would come around the ship regularly asking if you needed anything else. I made for a really easy experience! There is a restroom on board, so need no need to worry. The check-in process was very easy and there was plenty of seats on board. The Cannon launch was really a cute touch to the experience and our son really enjoyed the excitement and humor it added. Make sure you pack warm layers, because even on an 81° sunshine day in July, we were plenty chili by the time we really got closer to sunset. We packed a warm layer, and a windbreaker, and we were perfectly comfortable! Really I recommend this experience enough, it was the perfect end to our time in Seattle!

The Mountain is Out!

Becci_S, Jul 2026

Gorgeous and stunning views! The serene, smooth sailing on the Lady was an amazing way to spend time with family while viewing the Seattle skyline, Mt. Rainier and the sun setting on the mountains.

It was OK. Needs narration of the area.

Donald_C, Jul 2026

Bring warm clothes. It got pretty chilly out on the water. Ship had drinks and snack for purchase and 2 bathrooms on board. The little canon they set off was fun. I wish they had some kind of narration telling facts, etc about the area and pointing iut places of interest.

Tall ships are great way to see Seattle waterfront

Angela_P, Jul 2026

Wonderful experience from cannon going off, to rigging the sails and beautiful sunset! Highly recommended

Sunset sail

Great crew! Be sure to bring a coat as the temperature on the water drops significantly as the trip evolves. Highly recommend.

From a tourist with family of 4

Barbara_G, Jul 2026

Nice to be on the water, the crew was friendly, but it definitely felt like a tour meant to drink. Got on the boat, departed, they took drink orders, they asked for a few volunteers, that was fun - then it was all about getting refills. Too long of a ride if you’re not drinking. I understand it was not a guided tour, but a bit of info about the city, mount rainier, sea animals in the area, something, would have been nice.

Sunset Cruise

Enjoyed sailing with Bay Lady

Elizabeth_R, Jul 2026

Enjoying the sailing and peaceful time with nature. All crew members great and captain. Great moment and pictures.

Overpriced for only a boat trip.

Robert_K, Jul 2026

Overpriced for only a boat trip. Nothing is included- not a complimentary drink of any sort (not even water) nor any complimentary food item (bags of chips were on boat but not offered). For $75, its just two hours on the water.

Smooth sailing

Anthony, Madison, and Ava...

Amber_C, Jul 2026

Anthony, Madison, and Ava were such great hosts! I brought my two children - 18 & 8, and they had a wonderful time. The views were incredible. It was a memorable first night in Seattle.

The joy of sailing

Kathleen_C, Jul 2026

The Bay Lady is a 43 foot, smooth sailing boat that’s just fun to experience. Although there were no small children during our trip, kids would love the excitement of sailing through the water, seeing how the crew ( and some passengers) handle the ropes, and how the sails then need to move to maneuver the boat and they are very, very, big ,heavy sails! The crew brings their own joy of sailing to the adventure as well. Their excitement is infectious; you can’t help smiling. You’ll love it!

Enjoyable evening

Lisa_W, Jul 2026

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!
