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.

It was a great trip out on the water. Perfectly safe and a lot of fun. Anthony, Clark and Madison took great care of us and we even learned a lot bout sailing. Definitely worth the time and cost.

    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!

    Peaceful easy feeling

    It’s quiet & relaxing, no tour guide talking. Beautiful sail on a sunny Seattle day! Snacks & drinks available to purchase onboard.

    Low key sailing. Very friendly crew. Team made our tour informative and fun. Great experience for both children and adults of all ages.

    Peaceful.

    Easy activity. Peaceful. They sell beverages and chips on board. This is not a narrated tour. Just a ride for 2 hours.

    Disappointing. We sailed...

    jon_m, Jul 2026
    Disappointing. We sailed into the wind for 70mins, hardly moving, due to being directly into the wind. There is no commentary at all on this tour as one of the staff reminded me when I asked. Then some rain came. At GBP270 for 5 people, which I paid I’ would not recommend this tour, at all

    That was the most...

    Such a fun experience. I went by myself and totally enjoyed the view and the overall experience. I would go again in a heartbeat.

    Nice way to spend a sunny day

    Jay_W, Jul 2026
    In a sweltering summer Seattle day, this was a great way to stay cool and get some great views of the city skyline.

    Awesome Sailing Experience

    CHRISTINA_P, Jul 2026
    The crew on the ship were friendly, fun and very professional. They carefully supervised the handful of volunteers who lifted the sails- even some kids hoisted the smaller sails. I would recommend this trip as a beautiful way to see Seattle from the sea. It was a warm day & the water was calm- which might not be optimal for sailing but it was perfect for enjoying the day.

    We had a great day wonderful staff. Just wish there was more information about what we were seeing from the boat. I thought it was a two hour tour on the harbor.

    Jacqueline_M, Jul 2026
    Extremely pleasant experience. Employees were so kind. Got to help, if you wanted to, to put sails up. Captain was pleasant to talk with. Very professional.

    It was a beautiful trip with enough wind to use the sails. So much fun that I would do it again! The crew was friendly and attentive.

    We had a lovely experience sailing in the bay! The crew was so kind and helpful. They even got us involved in raising the sails. The boat is large and lovely. Sailing is such a quiet and calming experience. I highly recommend this tour!
