The highlight was listening to Erin (hope I spelled her name right) who was our tour guide. She was hella funny!! It's almost as if we were in a comedic space yet it was so informative!

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.

I'm looking forward to my next visit!

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!

8/22/2026 Party of 5 Omg, what an experience of a lifetime!…read moreI loved every single moment of this day. This trip was a 17th birthday gift for my grandson because we wanted to do something completely different and memorable.The entire process was seamless. Checking in was easy, convenient, and very easy to locate. Plus, all the information on their website was perfectly clear. There were absolutely no hassles, no stress, and nothing to worry about--we could just sit back and enjoy ourselves.The service was top-notch, and I am so grateful for the captain and the amazing crew! They were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and just very nice people. If you are a local, you don't even need a tour guide; this is the perfect way to get some peace and quiet, listen to the waves, feel the boat rocking, and enjoy the sun, wind, and nature. It is a wonderful way to de-stress.Logistics tip: We took the light rail, walked down from Pike Place Market, and grabbed some food to bring and eat on the boat. For convenience, there is a restroom at the dock office and two right on the boat. They also have some great souvenirs downstairs by the boat restrooms. The surrounding waterfront has lots of fun things to do, too.I am well satisfied and happy with how our trip turned out. We will most definitely do this again! Things to remember: Check the weather for the day. You can bring food and drinks. Have your transportation route, parking and plan accordingly. Look up things and any events you can do while your at the waterfront. Most importantly plan out your day and enjoy yourself

Seattle's Tall Ship is perfect 2 hour activity for anyone looking for a relaxed way to sail around…read morethe Puget Sound. I booked a 4:30 PM tour for 2. 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.

We were also lucky enough to have Captain Andy on board. If you get Captain Andy, you'll know immediately. The first time you see his mustache, you're going to have an overwhelming urge to address him as "Sir." That mustache has command presence. Beyond the legendary mustache, Captain Andy was incredible. He personalized the experience, shared his knowledge of the area, and somehow made us feel like we were the only people on board. It never felt like a canned tour. It felt like we were out exploring Seattle and the Salish Sea with someone who genuinely enjoys showing people what makes this area special. Beautiful scenery, a phenomenal vessel, incredible photo opportunities, and a captain with a mustache worthy of its own Coast Guard credential. Absolutely worth doing. And if you get Captain Andy, consider yourself lucky.
