    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.

    Great afternoon on the water!

    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.

    Lovely 2 hours in Seattle

    Megan_S, Sep 2025

    Was perfect for a first date, got to participate in raising the sails too. Crew was awesome and they had beverages on board for purchase. Would definitely go again!

    Best chill activity to prove Seattle really is impressive.

    Amari_A, Sep 2025
    Blankets, Great drinks, shy wild life and wonderful views. What more could you ask for? How about a cheerful, educational, staff making every mundane boating action engaging and amusing. 10 /10 will definitely rebook.

    Highly HIGHLY Recommend

    Michele_G, Sep 2025
    It was PHENOMENAL!!!!! Very professional staff; yet very personable. They always referred to you by your first name. It was a perfect day. The seating was extremely comfortable. I was on crutches and left them in the car because they had a wheelchair for me. Perfect weather. Very relaxing. Vibe was excellent!!!! Definitely worth another visit. Next time I’m doing their sunset sail. I HIGHLY recommend them

    Denine_G, Sep 2025
    This experience was well organized from the moment I reserved a spot. I received a courtesy call to ensure I was aware of the meeting point, time, and an opportunity to ask any questions. Upon arrival, I was greeted with kindness by every one onboard. The crew clearly love their job and being on the water! It was interactive for those that wanted to help or learn a little about sailing. The views were beautiful even on a cloudy day...so glad it didn't rain. Beverages including alcohol is available on the boat. The staff were very friendly and approachable. It was perfect for the last day of my trip to Seattle. Thanks Nick and all!

    Friendly crew, we really enjoyed ourselves. Would recommend to others. Cool experience for daughter to

    Pleasant and a chance to get on the water

    Cheryl_R, Sep 2025
    I enjoyed this as a way to fill time but it was somewhat boring on a cloudy day. The mountains were obscured by clouds and the shoreline obscured by freighters. Crew very friendly and attentive. The boat was full making moving around difficult. I’m not sure what I expected but I guess I thought I would be able to see more. It was peaceful being on the water.

    Cary_H, Aug 2025
    We had such an amazing time. The crew was very friendly and took care of us throughout the sailing adventure. I also enjoyed the great wines being served, being able to help with the sails and of course - the views were stunning.

    Awesome Experience

    Abigail_R, Aug 2025
    My family had a great time! We have a toddler and an infant and it was great! Very scenic and enjoyable

    Fun Sail on Puget Sound!

    Shawna_G, Aug 2025
    The crew was fun, friendly and very accommodating. You can tell they love their jobs! Be sure to bring a jacket, even on sunny days it is always cooler out on the water. It was fun to help raise the sails ⛵️! Bring cash to tip the crew, or use Venmo or Cash-App. Beverages are available on board. It was a great way to experience Puget Sound!

    Crew were a little lazy

    Donna_C, Aug 2025
    It should have included some info and some commentary. Not just some drinks and sailing. They could have entertained us just a bit.

    Happy couple for 48 years

    Eric_C, Aug 2025
    The sailing excursion was amazing as well as the crew. We sailed at 4pm and the weather was perfect for sailing. It was fun assisting the crew with setting the sails. We are from North Carolina and if we return, we will do this again.

    Beautiful views of Seattle skyline

    Beth_I, Aug 2025
    Pleasant evening onboard the beautiful ship! Informative and pleasant crew. Easy dock to walk to from my downtown hotel. My only suggestion is to have music playing while sailing.

    Sail boat experience.
