Olympia Sailing Company

Cosima and her crew have built something genuinely special on the water in Olympia. Guests rave about the warmth and knowledge the family brings to every outing, and the personal touches, like complimentary cocktails, cozy wood-burning stoves, and stunning views of Mount Rainier and the Olympics, make each cruise feel like a carefully curated experience rather than a generic boat tour. The fleet includes a classic schooner and the Manna, a charming trawler with a sun deck and enclosed seating perfect for year-round sailing. Reviewers consistently highlight how close to the water you feel on both vessels, and the BYOB and bring-your-own-food policy makes it easy to customize the outing. Sunset cruises and special occasions like birthdays and even weddings come up frequently, with Cosima going out of her way to make those moments memorable. One minor piece of feedback that surfaced was that communication between the captain and passengers could be a little tricky when the boat is underway, though this came from a single reviewer and didn't seem to dampen anyone's overall enjoyment. If you're looking for a relaxed, scenic escape with genuine hosts who clearly love what they do, this one is worth booking.
