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.

What people are saying

Had a great time on this 2-hour ride with my brother. First time visiting Seattle and this was the first thing we chose to do. No regrets! The water was very smooth so the boat ride reflected that. The staff was very friendly and informative. We enjoyed a bottle of wine. I forgotten my sunglasses and they happen to have a pair so I guess I got a souvenir as well. Highly recommend!
