Everything about the water adventure was above board. Super comfortable and clean boat. Captain was friendly and very knowledgeable. Deck hand was wonderful as well. Great narration about many topics regarding the beautiful area and history. Would highly recommend for locals and visitors.

It was so relaxing and refreshing. The crew was very friendly and considerate. They even provided us with blankets as it got chilly towards the end of the cruise.

Perfect Daniel. Thank you for your review and for being on the cruise.
Definitely worth it! The views were breathtaking, to say the least. The Captain and the girl working on board, were very knowledgeable and extra attentive. I would recommend this to all.

We live in Gig harbor and I have enjoyed this
cruise twice now once when family from Tennessee was visiting and most recently when my son from San Diego and his family were here.

Thank you Dave! We appreciate your kind review!
Captain Tom and Kevin, very professional, polite and friendly crew. They were able to tailor the cruise towaard our interests and ensure we were well taken care of! Captain Tom knew extensive history in the area and Kevin helped keep the ship running smoothly. We got to sea harbor seals, a dolphin, bald eagles! Bathroom on the boat was also very nice:)

Thank you for coming and thank you for your review!! It was a beautiful, relaxing NW evening. You guys were fun!
This cruise was great! If a laid back experience is what you’re looking for, this is it. My parents visited from out of town and they enjoy being on the water. I took a chance on this experience and I’m so glad I did. We learned a lot about the area and it was just a fun time seeing the South Sound from the water. Highly recommended!

Jason, Thank you for your personal review.
We had a wonderful time on the boat cruise! Captain Tom was a great host and made the trip very engaging. He shared interesting and fun information all through the trip and took us on a comprehensive trip around the area. It was so beautiful and the views from the water were amazing! We plan to do this again with friends and family when they come to visit us next summer.

Dana, Thank you for your recommendation!
Enjoyed the top deck for sure, so much knowledge about the history of surrounding area & Narrows bridge. Learned so much. Perfect tour for sure & very reasonable! Suggest you bring water & take a blanket as you return from under narrows Bridge
Into Gig Harbor. Friendly staff. Would do again in a heart beat.

Joan, Thank you for your detailed review and photos! We are glad you recommend our Riviera Cruises Sunset Tour!
Bring a light jacket or coat for the evening tour. Sunglasses are needed sometimes and binoculars would be a bonus.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for the tips and reminders David!
The sunset cruise was so much more than I expected I knew that I was going to see some beautiful views, but I did not realize how much I was going to learn about the history of Puget Sound and Gig Harbor and the animals of the sea, the mountains, and so much more! It was fun, entertaining, relaxing, and beautiful to see Mount Rainier under the sunset from the water, the seals, and to just be around other people who enjoy similar things as you. Highly recommend 10 out of 10!!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you Starre! You were fun to have aboard. Thank you for your thorough review and excellent photos!
Beautiful but kinda boring. Dress warm we were freezing. Still it was so beautiful and worth the trip.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thanks Gloria. We offer blankets. Boat has a furnace. Yes, evenings are cool on the Puget Sound even on a hot day. Your 3 hour chance to experience life on the water! Glad you enjoyed the sunset.
The captain was full of info and fun. Saw wonderful wildlife, beautiful scenery and gorgeous sunsets. The boat was well maintained and the water smooth

We like to have a good time and "bring the content" to you! The real show though are the places we travel! Thank you Carol.
Capt Tom and Evan were great and the scenery around the Puget Sound was just gorgeous! The boat itself is very comfortable and spacious. Tom explained the history of the area and landmarks to us as we went, which really helped us to get a better understanding of the area. All in all, this was a great experience and I’d highly recommend it to others.

Super fun sunset boat cruise around the Gig Harbor/Tacoma area. Lots of photo opportunities and the captain was very knowledgeable about the area. I grew up here and learned things!

Julie, Thank you for your kind review. We hope to see you again!
Very good experience. Good sunset and Mount Ranier views. Nice tour of Gig Harbor and into the sound. Saw some great wildlife bald eagles and harbor seals. Weather was great so a nice ride on the boat. Captain was very knowledgable about the area.

Robert, Thank you for your review!
This 3-hour cruise out of Gig Harbor is a must-do! We saw bald eagles, seals, porpoises, and more—all surrounded by stunning mountain views and lush forests. The scenery is breathtaking, but what truly sets the experience apart is Captain Tom. His passion for the area and deep knowledge made the trip fun, educational, and unforgettable. He guided us through the area and pointed out wildlife we would’ve missed on our own. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this relaxing and scenic cruise is the perfect way to experience the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Highly recommend!

Thank you Renny you helped make the cruise extra-fun! This is very nice review.
What an amazingly beautiful night spent touring the harbor on the Riveria! After grabbing dinner at Tides, we boarded just as advertised - on time and with ease! The three hours flew by on this wonderful gem of a vessel (complete with an adorably clean bathroom!!) Definitely met and exceeded our every expectation from start to finish! Beauty aside, Capital Tom and his mate Evan were amazing and made our evening so enjoyable! Tom has a wealth of information to share about local history and his delivery was not only informative but entertaining as his passion for the beauty for the Sound an added bonus!! We saw porpoises, seals, countless bald eagles and gorgeous countryside (and homes) as we toured the Harbor & Sound. Such a blessing to have experienced this! A must do if visiting Gig Harbor! Gave me a fresh new perspective of Gig Harbor and surroundings. We had amazing views of Mt Rainer and the sunset breathtaking. Loved it!

Ronda, Thank you for joining us on a great Riviera Sunset Cruise! We appreciate your complete and detailed review and your fun photos with a rare sight of Capt. Tom mugging for the camera!
Great entertaining and informative 3 hr water tour. Captain and 1st mate were stellar. Very comfortable boat which was spotless and well cared for. Sunset and view of Tacoma Narrows bridges was amazing.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Louis, Thank you for signing up right before the tour that day. Having you on board was fun. You are enthusiastic about the area we traveled! We look forward to seeing you again! Capt. Tom
The 2 hosts of the boat trip were great and the views were breathtaking. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you for your review Jessica!
Excellent captain. Great narrative on sights during cruise. Goes thru the islands. Not the downtown Seattle waterfront area. You will see lots of nice and unique waterfront homes. And maybe a sea lion like we saw. Come early to find parking. But it is free parking!!
Response from Host, Aug 2024
