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.

We just got back from an overnight trip with Olympic Coast Sailing. It was an amazing experience!…read more We sailed on the Ingrid Princess with Captain Tracy Hollister from Sequim Bay (John Wayne Marina) to Lopez Island (Fisherman Bay Marina) in the San Juan Islands. Captain Tracy is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced sailor. He is also very familiar with maritime history and the local wildlife. As he entertained us with stories of his sailing adventures in the South Pacific, and his solo, 49-day trip from Japan to Oregon, my fear of being out in the open water dissipated and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. My husband--an experienced sailor--loved every minute of it, particularly because Captain Tracy let him take the helm. Captain Tracy worked with us to plan our trip. When he learned we wanted to bring our bikes, he suggested Lopez Island because it is bike friendly and fairly flat. He secured our bikes to the side rail and then carefully covered them with bike bags to protect them from the salt water. When we arrived at Fisherman Bay, we attached our panniers and biked .75 miles to Edenwild Boutique Inn. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the island on our bikes! Being on Lopez Island feels like taking a step back in time--everyone smiles and waves. It's a magical place. Our trip was satisfying on so many levels and we definitely intend to sail with Captain Tracy again. We highly recommend this crossing for anyone who enjoys being outdoors.

The boat was very comfortable and so spacious for our small group of 18.

It was the perfect mix of being immersed in nature while still easily accessible for our older relatives to join too. The three hour charter took us through stunning scenery and countless wildlife sightings. Truly the best and most unique wedding experience in the PNW!

It's a pristine sail ship owned, maintained and operated by two of the best lady sailors. Tami's a 20 year boat caption and Claudette is an acute sailor and certified nurse. It was a gracious, informative tour of the bay with warmth, safety & genuine comradery. They actually extended our time just because they're passionate about what they do. In this day of making a dime, it was a breath of fresh air to meet such qualified warm professionals whose passion is to share and make you smile. We couldn't have been in better hands and will travel with you again. So happy to hear they have extended their excursions to Poulsbo to service the lively downtown arena. If you want a qualified experience, I highly suggest traveling with this crew & company. Thank you for a truly wonderful & unique experience. TK 'Terri' Jones & Jon Richardson
