    sea lions during harbour / skyline tour
    Emily N.

    My experience with Argosy Cruises was average nothing spectacular but our guide for the tour was outstanding and made it worth while ! Em I believe was their name but they went above and beyond telling interesting facts about Seattle for a solid 45 minutes out of an hour ! Very impressive and knowledgeable guides make these hour boat rides more fun ! Good spots for those ig grid pics too :)

    Argosy Cruises Christmas Ship has now become a holiday tradition for my family. The entire team at Argosy Cruise were extremely courteous and filled with holiday excitement. The Santa was one the best, he made a point to give every family a warm welcome and friendly conversations. The host elf was excellent he managed to capture the attention of many excited children. The drink and snack menu had ideal options for both children and adults. I am definitely looking forward to the next seasons Christmas Ship, and highly recommend the experience!

    I bought the Seattle City Pass and Argosy Cruises Harbor Tour was one of the attractions that was offered. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the one hour cruise around Elliot Bay as it ended up being my favorite attraction. The guide on the ship was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I was engaged the entire time. The weather was beautiful so it was nice to enjoy the breeze in the outdoor space. When it got a bit chilly, we retreated indoors and had a whole level of the ship to ourselves. They have a full service bar and offer small snacks and sandwiches. I highly recommend Argosy Cruises as it was one of the most memorable experiences in Seattle.

    This is a must do attraction!!! Last about an hour or so and don't worry you shouldn't get sea sick because you are in view of land at all times! You basically go around the harbour and they explain all the buildings around and how things were established. It's incredibly informative. The staff are freakin awesome and the drinks are incredibly tasty I recommend the Bloody Mary it's made with a chili infused vodka actually sooooo delish. If your not up for being cold you can ride inside and still see all the beautiful structures but if you wear a nice warm coat and some gloves I definitely recommend sitting on the top deck to get the best views and don't worry they have a waiter that comes out there to take your drink orders.

    A few things to note: * You can't bring your own food and drinks on board. They will ask you to throw out your drink. There is a bar on board with some food and drinks options. * The tour lasts right at an hour. It didn't feel like we were out there that long--it goes by quickly. * It can get chilly out on the water so dress appropriately. Bring a blanket or jacket. There are seats inside if you get chilly. * The views are amazing! I definitely enjoyed myself and would recommend to anyone wanting to see views of the city

    Breath taking views

    Staff: The team here was really nice. Everyone from the check in, to the captain, to the team that walks around the boat cleaning up. A nice man named Darton was picking up glasses on the upper deck and happily helped to take a picture of us. Quality: This is a beautiful 3 story boat with a large upper deck. We sat up top for the best view. The boat was new, clean, spacious, and had really clean bathrooms. Value: This was a gift to us from our aunt so you'd have to check the pricing. I will say that we got the upgrade of "first to board" which was so worth it. You get to board first, sit in covered seats before boarding vs standing, and receive a 15% discount on food/snacks. Highly recommend getting this if within your budget. Overall: This was a really cool experience that is well worth doing. We were very lucky with perfect weather. It is also informative as your guide shares fun details of what you see. Pro tip: 1) Park in the structure across the street from the aquarium. It is by far the best pricing I found in downtown. 2) Be sure to sit on the right side of the boat when facing forward or starboard to use proper terminology. You'll get a better view here as the boat goes around the harbor doing a left turn so all landmarks are to your right. You'll still see well from the other side but sharing as I made the mistake of not doing this.

    The one hour Seattle Harbor cruise was a whole new way to see the city. From the piers and skyline to the port and navy docks it was fun, educational, and memorable. We are going to do the locks tour next time.

    Seattle City Pass attraction! Boat tour located on Pier 55! Nice ,relaxing and informative . Lasted one hour. Speaker was knowledgeable and spoke clearly on the history of Seattle, skyline, cruise ships etc. you have the option of sitting on the inside, or up top on the sunny overhead. Plenty of seating and great picturesque moments. Food and drink is served and some cruise times included an happy hour . Check website! Great option if you're looking for a suggestion.

    Gorgeous Seattle skyline

    We love being on the water! Earlier in the week, we took the Seattle ferry to Bainbridge Island which was delightful. We probably would have skipped the Argosy Cruise because we did the ferry & we saw the skyline from our Norwegian cruise ship last fall. Thankfully, the Argosy Cruises were one of the options of the CityPASS so we decided to go! We went on the Tuesday afternoon happy hour cruise. It was a little windy & a bit chilly but we braved Mother Nature to imbibe our cocktails on the upper deck. The cruise docent was informative, funny & engaged with the passengers. It was great to hear more about the history of Seattle & see the attractions from the water. It was also cool to see the cargo ships & the shipping containers close up. We got to see Navy ships in dry dock ON THE WATER! We have never seen that before. We also got a peak of a bunch of lazy seals hanging out at the marina. Very fun!

    What a lovely way to spend a beautiful day in Seattle! My husband and I went on the one hour Seattle Harbor cruise on Sunday and loved it! We sat outside on the upper deck and enjoyed the gorgeous weather and vistas. Our guide was very knowledgeable and articulate, entertaining all on board with stories and facts about buildings/structures as we passed. There were drinks/snacks available for purchase on the lower deck though we didn't partake. We highly recommend Argosy Cruises!

    I made it! I had to thin down my bucket list in seattle. It was a perfect day for me to take the chance and actually got to go cruise and see the town from the water's view/perspective! I got to see the skyline and a fun narrative from the crew! Amazing views! This I recommend on top things to do in Seattle! They do give military discount which is a plus! The line may get long but the capacity was great!

    Took the Argosy Cruise with the Locks upgrade as part of our City Pass. We opted to also book the return bus back to the peir. The cruise was fun its a 2 hour cruise that starts on pier 54 and takes you out of emerald bay and into the locks which is where the ocean meets the river. The locks is pretty cool I had never seen that before. It was a really cool experience - we saw seals, a light house, the skyline, salmon jumping and a sea plane take off. The deck hand narrated most of the cruise, he was so knowledgeable and gave such a great history on alot of things. I would definitely recommend the locks upgrade. They do offer on board bar, and snacks. Overall this was an excellent experience and I would reccomend it for anyone who is looking into sight seeing.

    I had the opportunity to complete a boat tour with Argosy Cruises for essentially $25 via the Seattle CityPass. FYI, the Seattle CityPass allows you to visit 5 of Seattle's top attractions for the total cost of $127, which includes this boat tour! The boat was a three story boat which was fairly big and clean. The tour lasted an hour and the tour guy was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture that he discussed. He also provided recommendations of places to visit, which was also very helpful. Definitely enjoyed my experience with Argos Cruises and would recommend it to others.

The experience was worth every penny and then some. The luxury, quality, and attention to detail is unmatched. Mark, the owner, was so attentive and a pleasure to work with. He took care of all the details and answered all my questions. The boat was beautiful and spacious for the two of us. We enjoyed the views and conversation with the crew immensely. My husband is a huge Sleepless in Seattle fan and the highlight of the evening was passing the floating house. The food was amazing. Everything was farm to fork fresh and prepared by a chef onboard. I highly recommend the crab cakes and homemade bourbon ice-cream. The pace of the evening was lovely, it didn't feel rushed or lagging. You could tell Mark worked hard to make sure that our experience from the moment we stepped aboard was seamless. He thought of everything, even providing a cozy blanket when the wind became a little chilly towards the end of the night. I cannot recommend Enchantress Cruises enough! Thank you for a lovely and memorable evening!

You can have drinks (DRANKS) on the yacht BUT the Captain pours them and already has them there.

She was super knowledgeable and pointed out all types of fun facts!
