    Things to know

    Boarding requires two medium steps from the dock into the boat, and the boat may rock as people move around. Children must wear a life jacket at all times; bring your own life jacket for a baby.

    Cancellation Policy

    Cancel 2 weeks in advance to receive a full refund. Reschedule 2 weeks in advance with no extra fee; otherwise a reschedule fee of 25% the cost of your booking applies. We do not issue refunds due to wildfire smoke. No refunds for rescheduled sails.

    FAQs

    Arrive with enough time to park and walk to the dock. On Friday and Saturday evenings, the marina can be very busy due to beer tasting events, so plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early to find parking. Charters run back to back, so you may need to wait for the boat to return, and you cannot board early.

    Dress for the conditions and keep in mind it can feel chillier on the water than on land. Bring sunscreen and your own drinking water.

    Bring your own snacks and drinks if you’d like. You’ll also receive a welcome beverage once you are underway. Drinking water is not provided, so bring your own.

    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.

    We had an incredible experience with Olympia Sailing Company! Ocean and Mena made our evening absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we stepped aboard the beautiful schooner Pterodactyl, they greeted us with warm smiles and genuine hospitality, making us feel welcome and comfortable throughout the entire sail. One of the most special parts of the experience was learning about the history of the Pterodactyl, which was built in 1970 by Ocean's father. Hearing how he captained this family built vessel on so many adventures made the trip feel even more meaningful. As people who weren't familiar with sailing, we really appreciated that Ocean and Mena explained each step of what they were doing and answered our questions along the way. They also encouraged us to explore the beautiful, one of a kind living quarters aboard the schooner, which was such a unique experience. Our sail through Puget Sound was breathtaking. We saw an abundance of wildlife, the State Capitol, and other boats enjoying the water. They even treated us to a complimentary rum punch cocktail, which was the perfect touch. Everything about the experience was top-notch. Ocean and Mena clearly love what they do, and it shows in every detail. Thank you for giving us a magical evening and memories we'll cherish for years to come. Five stars to this amazing company and crew, we can't recommend Olympia Sailing Company enough!
