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.

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.

The USS Nebraska's keel was laid down in May 26, 1987 ; it was launched on August 15, 1992 and commissioned on July 10, 1993. The sub is home to 1 of two crews for a typical deterrent mission under the MAD strategy for an average of 77 days. Each crew consists of ~17 officers, ~15 petty officers and ~122 enlisted men. The USS Nebraska has completed 18 deterrent missions as of September of 2010. This is the second Navy Ship to honor the State of Nebraska. Duty rotation for the crew is 18 hours with 6 hours at the primary duty station, ~6 hours of other duties. However, officers, however, typically are on for 14 hours or longer. This is the routine for the entire tour of duty. Aside from 24 Trident Ballistic missiles complete with MIRVs (Multiple Independent Reentry Vehicles), the sub features 4 forward torpedo tubes. 4 of the 18 Ohio class submarines are designed SSGNs and are equipped with cruise missiles instead of Trident Missiles. The tour allowed us to see the silos and torpedo bay including the control rooms for each. We also the Mess, the Ward room, the Petty Officers room, the berths of various personal and the bathrooms. The Control center and sonar rooms as well as misc machine rooms were part of the tour. The only areas pretty much off-limits to the friends and families touring the Nebraska was the engine room, nuclear reactor room and sail. We were treated to lunch which was 2 star food with 5 star service. During deployment, the kitchen is active 24/7 and the lunch we were served seemed to reflect what was served on board Kudos to the men (and soon woman) who go on watch on this sub.
