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! Thank you for a lovely and memorable evening!

It's clear they've put a lot of thought and effort into delivering the most polished experience…read morepossible: Easy parking, straightforward rental process, several changing rooms, restrooms, affordable towel rental. In the boat they provide a Bluetooth speaker, dry bag, and a QR code to a GPS pin for navigating back. They were super helpful with answering questions on the phone before I booked. The boat was in great shape and the water temperature was perfect. It was a very relaxing and memorable experience for my anniversary. Ashley got us set up and went above and beyond to make it awesome! My only recommendation is to bring a hand towel to help with using your phone, and don't eat much before if you get seasick since the water can get choppy at times.

I took the beginning keel boat course in Late July 2025. All of the instructors (3) were obviously…read moregreat instructors and experienced persons. Top Notch. BUT in this basic class, one must remember that not only are you learning to sail a boat BUT you are also learning a new language. Sailors have their own language. Period. A rope is no longer a rope but a Sheet. Or a halyard. Confusing, eh? So do your reading before the course. There are also 3 different instructors on three different days. That leads to some confusion as each has their own nuances. It might be helpful to students if the 3 of them sailed together one day to learn how everyone is teaching students; it may help resolve some of the confusion for students.

Start to finish, this is an iconic Seattle adventure. We met at the dock at MOHAI (booked paid parking ahead of time online which I do recommend). Got there a little early to hear the rules/directions, which they always make fun. Checking in was easy, and it doesn't really matter which order you get on in. I was one of the last people on board and felt like it had no bearing on the spot I took as people were moving around. There is only one bar and one bathroom, so I would recommend grabbing a drink before and using the restroom so that you can limit time spent in both lines. The bartender was wonderful. Quick but kind. I ordered a marg and she asked if I wanted a floater of tequila. Ordered a mimosa and she asked if I wanted a splash of guava. It was like she could read my mind. The staff goes all out with the theme. They kept us all safe, but made it fun with costumes, an exciting playlist, and by letting us squirt water at nearby hot tub boats. Book with your friends and have an amazing time. You will not regret going all out on your costume!

We spent a full week with Captain Tony of Sound Mariner. During the week, we learned the boat systems, boating safety, navigation and "what to do" in critical situations. The whole training was completed on our own boat. Captain Tony's training plan is well organized and thorough. Captain Tony is also incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, yet treats each person humbly and with a high level of respect. This allowed us to ask any question, and greatly enhanced our training. In the end, my wife and I both came out of the time with a good level of confidence for our future boating activities. And, we feel like we have a new friend! We highly recommend Captain Tony and Sound Mariner!

We hired Tony to deliver our 60' boat from Victoria, BC to Seattle and to train my wife and I to…read morecaptain the boat because it is significantly bigger and more complex than our current boat. I was very nervous about driving such a big boat but after the first couple hours with Tony, I was much more confident with controlling the boat, "holding station" and was even able to dock it myself. My wife then spent a few hours driving and maneuvering the boat and she was feeling very confident as well. Tony taught us to dock without leaving the boat, grabbing the cleats with the lines and putting turns on the cleats and bringing the lines back to the boat all without leaving the boat. This made both of us feel safer than stepping off the boat to tie the boat up and makes us feel like professionals. Dock hands even watch us and say "Wow!" when they see us do this and friends who have been boating for years tell us how easy we make it look. We spent many hours practicing on various docks, in various wind conditions, docking to port, to starboard, both bow-in and stern-in around Lake Union and Lake Washington. Using the Yacht Controller, I can single-hand the boat taking it in and out of our slip and docking thanks to Tony. I had so much fun, over several weeks I spent over 80 hours on the boat with Tony and my wife spent 30 hours captaining the boat and both of us are still surprised at how well we handle the boat and how confident we are in such a short amount of time. Tony taught us all the essentials about "rules of the road", navigating Puget Sound, VHF radio practice and etiquette, the boat's electronics, electrical and plumbing systems, anchoring, safety equipment, how to go through the Ballard Locks -- our first trip through was not the nerve-wracking experience we were expecting, but felt totally confident while watching other boats fumble with the procedure. Tony is a fount of knowledge of all things boating: techniques, equipment, boat types, boat history, etc. On a whim with our three kids on board one day, Tony taught them how to tie up fenders and do the three key knots so now they help us docking and in the Locks. I'd hire Tony to teach my kids to captain the boat, he'd be a much more patient teacher than I could be!
