Sunset Sailing Cruise in Olympia

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.
