Laid back experience. Nick,Anthony, and Clark answer questions and point out wildlife like seals and harbor porpoises. Teach you about the ship and volunteers can help set the sails. Fun relaxing time. Good harbor views and views of Seattle.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Great choice of beverages. I didn't read closely and missed that it is not a guided tour. The crew was able to point out a few points of interest. Comfortable ride with a great view. Definitely recommend.

The best tour we have taken in ages. Fantastic ship, friendly and talented crew. Amazing views and we were blessed with perfect sailing weather. Very good communication from Viator before and during the trip made this a super experience. Thank you to Captain Andrew and the crew of Harina, Nick and Melinda.

Sail away!

Amy_H, Jun 2026

This was an awesome way to get on the water & catch some amazing views of Mt Ranier…the city sky line & Puget sound. The staff was awesome…let us help get the sails up & away we went! We had options of alcoholic & nonalcoholic beverages & snacks. Restroom onboard was clean. Would highly recommend this experience!

A great way to spend a couple hours with incredible views

iamjennywilliams, May 2026

Wonderful experience! Got to help raise the sails. Staff were so friendly and helpful to explain the pieces of the ship. Only recommendation would be to explain some of what we were seeing since we are unfamiliar with Seattle. Had a wonderful time and eoood definitely 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.

Forst time on a sailboat boat

Denise_O, May 2026

Beautiful small ship experience. Knowledgable crew. Never been on a sailboat This was a very nice first experience. Nice to see Seattle from the bay

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.

Relaxing Experience with Beautiful Seattle Skyline Views

Liudmila_M, Oct 2025

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!

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.

Dan_P, Sep 2025

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.
