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 crew were friendly and engaging, and Angelo and the other staff were very kind to us when my husband and I mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary.

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.

I'm looking forward to my next visit!

We booked it on Viator and had a great time…read more We hopped off the cruise ship, parked our luggage and went exploring ending our day on the tall ship of Seattle. We loved everything about this experience. First, easy to book on Viator. Second, so convenient in location. Third, the service was unmatched. We also bought drinks ahead of time on the website AND in person. We had such a good time. I will say the bathroom is a *marine head*. So, you don't flush anything that does not come out of your body. It goes in the trash. That is sooo typical of most sail boats- but people doing their first trip out on the water may not understand that. Go potty before you get on! Service - fantastic Drinks - 10/10 Atmosphere - Highly recommend

Ashley got us set up and went above and beyond to make it awesome! My only recommendation is to bring a hand towel to help with using your phone, and don't eat much before if you get seasick since the water can get choppy at times.

About 12 dollars for liquor. 10 for beer. And 10 dollars more or less for hard seltzers. No shots. Staff was just as lovely. Cracking jokes. Checking in. Playing tunes on the speakers. It was a 3ish hour trip. We left at 7pm and returned around 10pm. We got to see Husky stadium lit up. We didn't hit any rough patches of water. There are life jackets in case of emergency but it's a safe cruise.

I had spoke with her the day before we booked and even though she was giving me bad news, she was very nice about it. :) We met with her around 11 in the morning and we (I) should've read the email a little better. You can have drinks (DRANKS) on the yacht BUT the Captain pours them and already has them there. You can bring your own (we brought champagne) but if you're running behind (like we were) you don't need to stop, there's a nicely stocked bar on the yacht AND Madeline is licensed. She was super knowledgeable and pointed out all types of fun facts! What was even cooler is I'm in real estate so she talked to me about all the lake houses and the price points of them and such, even down to the square footage, lol! It was great! If you're in the Seattle area and want a nice relaxing yacht ride you should definitely book with Canderé, and most specifically Captain Madeline
