Customer Reviews
This is the best tour in Seattle in my opinion (4th generation Seattleite speaking). It provides a fantastic overview of the city, both visually from the water as well as the narration which is informative and fun. The boat is beautiful and comfortable and the souvenir sippy cups for drinks are so fun. Don't miss out on this wonderful tour!
Great one-hour boat tour! We hadn’t planned to take one, but as we were passing by and saw there was a departure about to leave, we decided to hop on - a spontaneous decision we didn’t regret. We really enjoyed the tour. It was informative and a fantastic way to see Seattle from the water. Definitely recommend it.
the one hour tour was so fun! the staff were nice and welcoming, the views impressive, the atmosphere relaxing, and the narration entertaining. there are drink bars indoors and upstairs on the deck, and there are restrooms, too. because it gets super cold and windy out there, bring some warm layers for a more comfortable and enjoyable boat ride. best views of seattle 👍
