    The dock
    Tony B.

    FUN BOAT EXCURSION IN THE PUGET SOUND. Wellcome about this native American, Sumash-themed boat. It is actually native-owned and operated. There are bleachers to sit at on the bow of the ship, but I found it to be too cold and windy. I enjoyed sitting on the top open-air deck. For those who would rather relax inside during the tour, there is a comfortable and lounge-like setting on the lower deck. You can look out the windows on the side or watch on the big-screen TV with a view from the bow. The tour guide will tell you all about the features on the shoreline and beguile you with fascinating information that even native Seattleites will find interesting. There is a full-service bar that also sells packaged snacks. The tour lasts about an hour and is well worth the $33 adult fare. Seniors get a discount, and kids under 4 are free.

    I am a sucker for fun facts, and Salish Sea tours delivered just that! We are locals playing the tourist for the day, and this did not disappoint. I enjoyed the length of the tour, the drinks and the scenic views, I recommend this! You also get to keep your cups at the end so a nice souvenir for a reminder of a memory is a great take away!

    The 1-hr boat tour around the Seattle Harbor was well done. The boat has a full bar and light snacks. The staff was very friendly and the narration along the tour was informative, engaging and funny. We experienced smooth waters and the catamaran provided comfortable seating and we felt safe and at ease, which added to the joy of the tour. The only thing that would have made the boat tour any better would have been marine life sightings. The critters were absent on this day. Obviously, a factor the tour operator has no control over. Highly recommend this experience to any visitor to this beautiful city.

    My partner and I decided to take the noon 1-hr cruise today and we are so glad we did. We were virtually the only ones on the cruise (3 other passengers) which was really nice. We had a tasty lunch and decent margaritas. The narration through out the cruise was a little campy by fun and informative. I really appreciated the attention to the Native Tribal history throughout the cruise. I would absolutely recommend the Salish Sea Tour.

    the guy at the ticket booth was rude! it seemed he didn't care about his job, being really rude !!

We ended up really enjoying the tour and would highly recommend to visitors. This would especially be a great thing to add to your itinerary if you're only in the city for a short time, as you get to see a lot of landmarks in a short time. You also get to hear about the city's history and key industries. The ride overall is pretty smooth, and my husband, who gets motion sickness, was totally fine. The boat when docked can experience a little more motion, however, so your mileage may vary. We also found it easy to get seats with good views, and the guides were easy to hear anywhere on the boat.

The check-in and onboarding process was super easy. The ship promptly left dock at designated time. The top deck had open view. The second level had enclosed area with glass window views. Also both ends were open to guests as well. From start to end, the staff member did an amazing job of narrating many aspects of the views from the deck. A lot of it was about the downtown Seattle buildings, Space Needle, buildings and parks by the shore, the sea ports and many other cool facts along the way. I throughly enjoyed the hour long tour. The weather was also fantastic to take stunning pictures of the downtown, the mountains and the port. They also had a bar in second level where they served alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages, pop corn and some small snacks. Prices were decent for it being a tourist activity. We liked both popcorn and the strawberry lemonade.

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!

It was awesome getting to hang out with Captain Jeff in the wheelhouse and for our baby to drive the big wheel. Crew mate Austin was upper friendly as well. The bartender literally saved the day - we totally forgot a cup for our baby to drink milk out of so he hooked us up with a cup and even knew to cut the straw to a shorter length. Hallelujah! The boat we ended up on, the "Sightseer", was not their regular brunch cruise boat but it was still super cool. We didn't mind the family style seating although I think if we were to do this cruise again we'd want to at least try the other boat style just for the experience. The food was excellent and the mimosas were bottomless - as intended. We had a really great time and I could totally see us doing this at least once a year. I highly recommend it.

Pricing was reasonable at $59 per person. There are some differences in their price tiers dependent on the time and type of sailing. Prices can range between $39-$79. Their email notifications are thorough and provided recommendations on parking, things to bring, and what to expect onboard. Snacks and non-alcoholic drinks are allowed. Alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and mimosas are available for purchase onboard the ship. The check-in tent is located by Anthony's on Pier 66. Boarding started at around 10 minutes before departure and crew members walked us down to the marina. The ship is an 85 foot long schooner named Bay Lady and features an 87 foot mast and bench seating with backrests. This ship also has a cannon which they did fire while out on Puget Sound. The tour was 2 hours and unnarrated and bar service immediately started as soon as we cleared the marina. About 30 minutes into the voyage, crew members asked for volunteers to hoist the sails. Overall, I highly recommend this experience. The crew were attentive and consistently checked-in on our group.

I'd heard about the city's underground passageways before visiting, but seeing them in person gave me a much better appreciation for Seattle's history and how the city was rebuilt after the Great Fire. The tour struck a nice balance between history and storytelling. Our guide kept things engaging, and there were plenty of opportunities to stop, look around, and imagine what the original streets would have looked like more than a century ago. The pace of the tour was comfortable, and by the end I felt like I had learned so many interesting facts about Seattle's early history while also getting to explore a part of the city that most people never see. If you're visiting Seattle for the first time, I'd definitely recommend adding an underground tour to your itinerary. It's a fun way to learn about the city's past and offers a completely different perspective on Seattle!

I learned a lot about Seattle's rich history, including how the city got its name and the events that shaped it into what it is today.

One of the highlights was walking through the original city streets that were built at sea level and now lie beneath modern-day Seattle. It was fascinating to see a hidden part of the city that most people never get to experience. The 65-minute tour was engaging from start to finish and offered a great perspective of Seattle both above and below ground. If you're visiting Seattle or even if you're a local looking to learn more about the city's past, this tour is absolutely worth it. Definitely a must-do experience!
