Private cruise, Captain, Beverages
Explore Olympia’s shoreline on a 1-hour private cruise aboard “Manna,” a classic 28’ motorboat with cushioned bench seating. Ride with a professional captain and enjoy time on the water with your group.
Boarding requires stepping from the dock into the boat; the cabin toilet is accessed via a hatch and step ladder and may be difficult for limited mobility. Swimming is only allowed with captain permission and requires signing a swim waiver.
Cancel 2 weeks in advance for a full refund. Reschedule 2 weeks in advance with no extra fee; otherwise a reschedule fee of 25% of your booking cost applies. Operator may contact you to reschedule due to severe wind or thunderstorms. No refunds due to wildfire smoke. No refunds for rescheduled sails.
Arrive early to allow time for parking, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings when the marina can be busy. The crew runs charters back to back, so you may need to wait for the boat to return, and you won’t board early.
You’ll get a welcome beverage once you’re underway. Drinking water isn’t provided, so bring your own. You can also bring your own drinks and snacks; the captain can cut someone off if needed.
Use the shore restrooms before boarding if you can. On the boat, you may use a small toilet in the main cabin, but it requires stepping through a chest-high hatch and going down a step ladder, which can be difficult if you have limited mobility.

Captain Cosima and her crew have created something really special on the water here. Guests consistently rave about the cozy, intimate atmosphere aboard the Manna, a charming wooden boat that sits beautifully close to the water. The unique wood-burning stove makes winter and fall cruises particularly magical, and complimentary drinks (hot toddies in cooler months, rum cocktails for sunset sails) add a thoughtful touch. The scenery is stunning, with Mount Rainier and the Olympics providing a breathtaking backdrop while sea lions often make appearances. What stands out most is how the crew makes everyone feel welcome and relaxed. Families with young children love the experience just as much as couples celebrating special occasions or friends enjoying a casual outing. You can bring your own food and drinks for a picnic vibe, and the two-hour cruises consistently fly by. The sunset cruises seem especially popular, though one guest did suggest adding a speaker system to help passengers hear the captain's commentary better. Whether it's your first time on the water or you're a repeat visitor, the combination of natural beauty, thoughtful hospitality, and that unique cozy atmosphere keeps people coming back.
We had the BEST most relaxing time on Manna with our visiting family and almost 2yr old!! Saw the Olympics and Rainier while sipping complementary hot toddies, oh my gosh, what relaxation and such a treat!! Can't wait to go out again 😍
