Some intriguing stories about how this glorious inlet became a true gem of the Tacoma area. Stunning views of upscale living and of our Mount Tahoma aka Mt Rainier. Our gondolier, John painted our experience with a beautiful saranade and a lovely rendition of a birthday wishes. This is a must do, mark it on your list for this summer. Recommendation: go on a Sunday. Still vibrant but not as packed. End or start at the Brimstone Bar on Pioneer. Enjoy and you're welcome!

Greg was an excellent singer and she really appreciated his Italian dialect when singing. The tour was very enjoyable and Greg shared some local history while carrying us around the harbor. If you have the time, we recommend the 90 minute tour all the way around the harbor. It's a very relaxing trip and well worth it.

Cabin was so dirty you were afraid to touch the cushions, dirty silverware on table, uneaten food spread in the area, all day, not a bite, no food or water available for guests. Only area for "fishing" was in the middle of bloody mess from cutting bait, no clean-up. Just disgusting and very expensive for terrible experience. NOT truely a "Charter"..looks like a liveaboard trying for an excuse to deduct expenses. avoid at all costs and save the money. Note all good reviews are long ago...NOT what it is today!!

Everything went perfect because the hosts are so organized and thorough in their communications. We did the all day sail including a very tasty lunch about which the host consulted with me in advance. You don't need to bring a thing but your personal items as they have beverages, wraps if it gets chilly or anything you might need. Four of the six of us are 80+ and we were able to manage fine maneuvering on, off and around the boat including using the "head". Each experience depends on the tides, wind, currents, weather and other boat traffic, which makes each day unique and they explain about how these relate to the sea life you see and your itinerary. Because we had a beautiful sunny day Mt Rainier was present during much of the cruise giving us spectacular photo ops. I can't recommend Hobbes sailing highly enough....

This past spring, deep into the pandemic and feeling depressed because…read morewe had to cancel yet another vacation, we decided to replace Hawaii with a staycation in Tacoma. That's when we found Cruise Hobbes. I never thought we would be able to charter a sailboat with a crew for any length of time, but Cruise Hobbes's rates were extremely reasonable! On the appointed day, we met First Mate Karen and Captain Frank at the dock in Gig Harbor and after a quick briefing we were soon underway. In our correspondence, Karen found out that we had to forgo Hawaii. As soon as we stepped foot on deck, we were given leis, which was such a sweet, thoughtful touch! Before our sail, Karen asked us about any food allergies, requests, etc. Our snacks and lunch were delicious and in keeping with the Hawaiian theme. It was a BEAUTIFUL day for a sail. Plus, Frank and Karen are easy-going and a pleasure to spend time with. I highly, highly recommend chartering a trip with them. The sailboat is extremely comfortable. Everything is taken care of for you and customized to your tastes, and Karen and Frank are fantastic.

This location allows foot traffic, bicycles and motor vehicles. One way or round trip. Check the schedule for departure and arrival times. Please arrive at least 20-30 minutes before scheduled departure time. Take a break from tolls and traffic. Yes. We opted for one way from Bremerton to Seattle. Ferry departed and arrived to Seattle on time within one hour. Once you step out with your valuables and lock the vehicle, you're able to walk upstairs, enjoy the view indoors and outdoors. I had fun chillin' outside on a clear day. There were families taking photos of the scenery or groupies. We sat in the first row indoors. Some of our relatives decided to order sandwich, snacks and a beverage. There's also restrooms. If you must, use the restroom in advance before the ferry arrives at the destination to avoid rushing back to the vehicle downstairs and be mindful of others having to leave. Our route was the fast ferry where we go through Rich Pass, you'll see Port Orchard to the right and Bainbridge Island on the left, then make your way to Seattle. Smooth ride.

This was a long ferry trip about an hour but we saw tons of wildlife from the deck on our way to Bremerton from Seattle. Jellyfish, seal, and a whale. The ferry ride is never disappointing.
