Step aboard the 85-foot schooner Bay Lady and feel Seattle’s maritime heritage come alive. Seattle’s Tall Ship marries the romance of a classic gaff-rigged vessel with the comforts of today—plenty of deck space, two restrooms, and...
This sailing experience consistently delivers exactly what travelers hope for: a relaxing two-hour cruise around Elliott Bay with genuinely friendly crew members who make the trip special. The crew stands out repeatedly in reviews, with Clark, Daisy, Madison, Ben, and Molly earning individual shoutouts for their attentiveness and warm personalities. Guests love getting hands-on with raising the sails, and the views of the Seattle skyline are stunning. Drinks are available for purchase onboard, and you're welcome to bring your own food, though the marine-style bathroom requires typical sailboat etiquette. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between engaging and peaceful. You can chat with the knowledgeable crew or simply find a spot along the rails to soak in the scenery. Some visitors spot seals and sea lions, while others catch sunset views or glimpses of Mount Rainier on clear days. A few guests wished for more narration about the sights and history during the sail, and it's worth knowing the boat doesn't venture far out. Dress warmly since it gets chilly and windy on the water, even on nice days.
Fun time out on the water in Seattle. The ship was terrific under full sail. The crew was friendly and very accommodating. They passed out water proof blankets when it started raining. We got great sunset pix and enjoyed the sail so much. It absolutely got chilly out on the water with the sails up. Don’t forget a jacket!
