What a great experience! The crew was so accommodating! Our kiddo was given the opportunity to steer the sailboat! This was our last planned excursion before returning home the following day and it couldn’t have been a better time! We were all so happy we did it!

What an amazing way to see Seattle. The crew was attentive and made sure everyone was included and taken care of. It felt more like family and friends sailing together. A great way to meet people. View was incredible and very peaceful.

    Crew was friendly, knowledgeable, interactive and seemed to love their work. We even saw some humpback whales which was an unexpected treat. So relaxing after a hot summer day!! We highly recommend it!!

    Birthday sail

    Ranae_W, Jul 2026
    My husband decided he wanted to sail for his birthday. The staff was great offering blankets and making sure everyone was comfortable. We had a wonderful time.

    Beautiful sailing experience. Very safe for all ages. Sunset brought out the best of the waterfront.

    Sailing Seattle…The perfect evening cruise!

    Kevin_S, Jul 2026
    Zoe and Capn Craig were exceptional. They were very friendly, fun and informative. They really made the evening a wonderful trip. It was so nice when Zoe handed out jackets and blankets. The wind was quite chilly on the water. Such great weather, and we were blessed with a beautiful sunset. Thanks to you both!

    Easy and beautiful

    Lisa_R, Jul 2026
    This was a great experience for our family (parents and a teenager). Beautiful sunset and views of the city. Easy, relaxed and relaxing. I would not bring little kids or elderly on this cruise but it’s perfect for teenagers through mid-lifers

    Lovely

    janice_g, Jun 2026
    Nice to be able to bring your own feed beverages. Many people sit at the edge of the boat that has railing.

    Cool Evening Sail

    Cathy_L, Jun 2026
    Great evening sail. The weather was perfect. It does get a little cool out in the Sound, so bring layers.

    The best adventure

    Nora_M, Jun 2026
    It’s an immersive experience in Seattle that will make you wanna become a sailor!!! Double the experience if you do;)

    Relaxed night on the water

    Susan_E, May 2026
    Very low key, lovely night on the water. Wear layers, though there are blankets on boardz remember to tip the fantastic crew!

    Fun excursion!

    Kim_J, Sep 2025
    Nice way to see the city from the bay! While the seating is a bit unorthodox, the wind and the quiet of sailing were quite enjoyable. Bringing your own snacks and beverages? Heck yeah! Matt & Zoey were.great!

    This was my third sunset...

    Karen_P, Sep 2025
    This was my third sunset sail tour in Seattle and by far my favorite! We saw so many seals and it was so relaxing and fun.

    Beautiful sunset sailing

    Regina_S, Sep 2025
    This was our first experience, sailing and it was absolutely beautiful and stunning and so much more. The captain Phil made it a great experience and his shipmate. Once you check in, they give you a number so there’s no need to rush to get on the boat because your checked in by the way that you arrived so if you get there early, you get basically wherever you wanna be seated on the sailboat we were probably 30th to get on and had a great seat. It seems like every seat on the sailboat is wonderful and they let you walk around and Take photos and it was an absolutely amazing experience. You can bring your own food and drinks when we went it was just sweatshirt weather I would absolutely do this again. ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️

    Beautiful night for a sail around Puget Sound!!

    Lisa_R, Sep 2025
    Beautiful night for a sunset Seattle Sail! Friendly crew and fun time. This was my second time with Seattle Sail and it didn't disappoint.

    Sunset Cruise

    Pamela_K, Sep 2025
    Very friendly and engaging crew. Phillip and Anna were awesome. Gorgeous views. A great way to spend a relaxing evening.

    Exceeded expectations

    Ellen_W, Sep 2025
    What a great experience! Friendly crew who answered questions but didn't narrate -- which we appreciated after a long day of sightseeing and listening to tour guides! We brought our own wine, bread, cheese and deli meats, from Pike Place Market, which was plenty for dinner. Regular seating is limited, so be prepared to sit on the deck -- there's not much room to walk around. We were fine but it's not suitable for those with mobility issues. We were lucky to have calm clear weather and enjoyed a spectacular sunset. Two hours is just long enough!

    Fantastic Sunset Sail Boat

    Zhen_Z, Aug 2025
    Fantastic sunset boat ride. We truly enjoyed it.so thankful to take this trip, after being last min cancelled by the operator of whale watching.

    Great Date Night And/Or Hangout Idea!!

    CarolAnn_L, Aug 2025
    This is nice and relaxing; I went with my partner and we had a great time! The crew was super nice and knew exactly what they were doing! The only downside was that it was cloudy out, so we didn’t see the actual sunset. However, it was all made up for with watching the city light up as it got darker! I would highly recommend this!!

    Wonderful experience sailing with the wind

    Christine_T, Aug 2025
    First time on board, it was a very good sailing experience. The crews were so nice and friendly, our captain was making an effort to get us to the wind, so we got a very cool sailing with the wind.

    We had the perfect weather and the crew was awesome. The sail was smooth and the views were great! Thanks so much for an awesome way to end our Seattle trip!

    Fun ride

    Amy_F, Aug 2025
    When we went it was cooler going out on the boat. We both packed windbreaker. We also, didn't take drinks or food which I'm glad we didn't because it would have been difficult to drink with the boat being rocky. Otherwise it was fun and relaxing. A little commentary from the captain & crew about the area would be good but otherwise a great time!

    Definitely Recommend!

    Beauty and Humanity

    Deirdre_W, Aug 2025
    Wonderful crew that handled a sensitive situation well. Their kindness in welcoming us, even though we were late and upset, was like a soothing balm. The incredible young woman at the gate offered help with parking and offered a hug. The gorgeous evening and sunset were magical but secondary to her support. The crew made everything more special.

    Peaceful experience with a small crew! They made a great effort to chat with everyone on board, answer sailing questions, and make it a great experience.

    Totally worth it

    Genesis_F, Jul 2025
    Really nice experience, incredible views, friendly crew. The BYOB is a plus. It was my first time in Seattle but my locals friends enjoyed this so much too.

    Mary_M, Jul 2025
