The crew was so fun and friendly, there was plenty of room to move around on the ship, and seeing Seattle from the water was so unique. Highly recommend this for locals and tourists alike! *Update: We've done this tour three times, once on our own and twice with visitors. The crew was very helpful with our elderly relatives. We love it, and our guests have loved it!

We recently took our company on an evening cruise with Seattle Tall Ship, and it was a spectacular experience from start to finish. The weather was absolutely perfect, but what really stood out was the boat itself and, most importantly, the incredible crew. Their professionalism and warmth made the outing extra special. If you’re looking for a memorable and engaging team-building experience on the water, I highly recommend Seattle Tall Ship. It’s a unique and unforgettable way to connect with your team while enjoying stunning views of Seattle from the water. We will definitely be back!

Great check in process - getting on board was quick and easy, crew was fabulous and made sure we were all settled in and comfortable and warm! It was raining a little and they provided dry cushions to sit on, blankets and ponchos if we needed! Great service on board, opportunity to help hoist the sails, nice hour out on the bay and back! Crew was terrific, thanks again! Highly recommend!

If you're feeling adventurous, they let you help hoist the sails! It added such a fun and interactive element to the trip. Of course, if you'd rather just sit back and relax (like me), you're more than welcome to do that too. The entire experience was beautiful and so relaxing. The views of the Seattle skyline and surrounding waters were breathtaking. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this sailing trip is a must-do. It was the perfect mix of adventure and tranquility, with a crew that truly goes above and beyond to make your day special.
