Sailing on Puget Sound or Lake Union with captains like Russ, Dylan, Amy, and Mark has become a genuine Seattle bucket list experience for a lot of people. Reviewers consistently highlight how personable and knowledgeable the captains are, whether they're pointing out floating homes and maritime history on Lake Union or finding the perfect angle for photos on a sunset sail. One reviewer even spotted a humpback whale, which isn't something you can plan for, but speaks to the magic that seems to come with these trips. The format is intimate and private, with the captain right there in the cockpit alongside guests, which most people seem to love. It creates a relaxed, social atmosphere rather than a formal tour. Worth keeping in mind if you prefer more separation, but the vast majority of reviewers found it added to the experience. Weather is always a wildcard on the water, but even on a rainy day, one group ended up sailing into a rainbow, so flexibility and a good attitude go a long way here.
What a great way to spend a beautiful sunny afternoon! Captain Russ Baker was incredibly nice, and his skill as a sailor was fully on display since it’s just him operating the boat! As someone who gets nervous on the water (and is prone to nausea) I was quite surprised how at ease I was. I credit the smooth sailing and wonderful company of friends for putting me at ease! Couldn’t recommend Candere Cruising enough!
