    This was a fantastic sailing! The ship was spacious and had plenty of seating as well as restrooms. The ship was very clean and the crew were fantastic. The 2 hour sail was perfectly for a sunny afternoon. No complaints here and can't wait to go back.

    This sailing excursion was the highlight of our trip! The staff is so friendly. It's pretty clear that they are working for tips but at the same time they are very pleasant. We enjoyed our 3 hour sail on a Sunday afternoon. The sights are so pretty. You can help with the sails and or steer the boat if you want or you can just relax and enjoy the ride. Great way to spend my Sunday in Seattle!

    Lovely sunset, seen from from the Seattle Tall Ship (Sunset Picture 1 of 2)

    I can't fairly give Seattle's Tall Ship less than 5 stars, because the crew members were all super sweet, the captain was informative, friendly, and funny, the boat was beautiful, and the views were even more beautiful. My complaints, and how disappointed I felt with this experience, are mostly not the fault of the boat, the captain, or the crew. The boat is large (and tall!). I guess I just hadn't realized that there would be about 70 - 80 people on the sailboat. I understand from their perspective how they'd certainly want to get as many people on board as possible. However, even for a large sailboat (and a sailboat that I believe had the capacity for this many passengers, and I think everyone had a seat who wanted one), this is a lot of people to cram on to a sailboat, IMO. I felt a little bit like a sardine in a can, and/or I felt like I was traveling on public transportation that happened to be on the water. One of my closest friends who formerly lived in Seattle for over 10 years, Ashley, is a world class sailor. (Ashley moved to Austria a few years ago, to be with her new husband.) Ashley ran the Pink Boat Regatta (America Sails for Breast Cancer Research) for several years, and I contributed to that, and I attended the fundraiser, the sail boat races, and/or the sailor party almost every year that Ashley ran this (when my health allowed). I miss going sailing with Ashley and her friends (we went sailing at other, non-Regatta times of the year), so my partner kindly thought I'd enjoy this sail to celebrate my Birthday. I thought I would, too, so I thankfully accepted this. There was a loud crying baby near us, and I have sensitive hearing. I also have a sensitive sense of smell (really all of my senses are quite a bit more sensitive than average). The baby didn't cry for the entire sail, but it definitely interfered with the peaceful vibe of the sail a bit. I wasn't able to have children, due to medical reasons, so I'm probably less understanding of things like this than Mothers and Fathers (or Grandmothers and Grandfathers) would be. My overall life doesn't include kids very often, it doesn't need to. I get along pretty well with kids when I must, but being around kids isn't something that I seek out. So this is something that I am not personally used to. We had to move our legs several times when we were seated and when people squeezed by us to move around the sailboat. Everyone in the crowd that we spoke to was very nice. I felt terrible and I felt like I was not being appreciative enough of what in many ways was a very nice experience, and I did my best to adjust my attitude, which certainly needed adjusting. After this experience, I personally would not go out in a sailboat again with more than 12 people on it. The drinks offerings on the boat were quite good, but I didn't feel like a drink last night. The snack offerings were mostly Cheetos and Doritoes. It was nice to see the sunset on the water. We had an up-close view of one of Seattle's ferries, a huge container ship (?), and a lovely sunset over the water. The city views, and the view of Mount Rainier, were quite nice. The ship captain was very considerate of people's hearing and he warned us to cover our ears when the ship fired a tiny little cannon. Cute. He also asked if anyone was celebrating a special event such as a Birthday, so I did raise my hand, and many people in the crowd cheered for my Birthday. That was nice. Thankfully he didn't ask my age. I don't mind saying that I am in my 40s, but I am kind of weird about giving out my exact age. I think someone was also celebrating a recent graduation, so the crowd cheered for the recent graduate, too. One of my favorite parts of the evening was after the sail was over and everyone had left the marina/dock except for my partner and I, and my partner and I appreciated the last vestiges of the sunset fading away behind the faraway hills. I am writing this review because there may be other people out there who might feel similarly to how I felt, and those people might want to know some of this information in advance. However, this sail would probably be a nice experience for many people, and most people on our particular sail seemed to be enjoying themselves, too. I was personally underwhelmed by this experience, but many people probably didn't (or haven't, or wouldn't) share my sentiments. So, I hope people reading my review will read the other (more positive) reviews for Seattle Tall Ship, and make an informed decision based on all of the reviews here, not just mine.

    Freshly raised sails.

    I was pulled into this by my Daughter and wife. I was not thrilled with the idea of being packed on a sailboat with 64 other people. But I'm happy to report I was wrong. The crew was a lot of fun and entertaining. The silence when the diesel was turned off and we went to wind power was almost magical. The scenery was nice and the blankets provided were quite welcome after being out for an hour. Highly recommended!

    Three words for our sailing cruise: amazing, amazing, and amazing! This trip is a lovely blend of adventure and comfort. Perfect amount of scenic vistas. It was a very beautiful and very rich experience! Memorable sailing excursion with kind staff, seeing the beauty of the Seattle skyline in this wonderful sailboat. The scenery was pristine. The views from the boat are spectacular and the crew members were just fantastic - checking up on us regularly and making sure we got 100% enjoyment out of our trip. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew made us feel like part of their family. Their warm hospitality made the entire experience very special.Sailing along Seattle's waters, surrounded by stunning coastlines and the skyline, left us in awe at every turn. I even got to hoist the sails! We had the most picturesque views of Seattle throughout the journey. This sailing trip was such a memory-making adventure. With the wind in your face, we were able to sail freely without having to worry. Thanks to our incredible hosts, and the awe-inspiring scenery, it's a journey we will cherish forever. I highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure on the open seas. They even fired a cannonball! The boat was really beautiful and modern, definitely an experience I would 100% repeat and recommend. The experience was truly something to treasure. I didn't want to leave the boat!

    Amazing crew.. sailing with them was awesome.. the crew made the experience unforgettable , you could get easily bored after 30 minutes of sailing but the crew members made the sailing really fun especially for the kids. They have a very good sense of humor and very hospitable. They make rounds all the time and making sure everyone is having a good time, they offered blankets, hot beverages and snacks. Thank you Benjamin, Harini, Clark and Captain Nick. Highly recommended.. it's going to our core memory for sure!

    The captain & crew was friendly, professional, informative and kept us all safe. Was a relaxing trip on a beautiful blue-sky-day. And we did see one critter..a seal

    Whatever the occasion, sailing on Seattle's Tall Ship is sure to captivate everyone's attention. They are family friendly, but also great for dates. They even offer local wine and brews as well as some snacks. Seattle's Tall Ship also gives back to the local community and supports local youth soccer programs. A big thank you to Ben for helping provide uniforms and new equipment to The Norpoint Soccer Club. Sailing on Seattle's Tall Ship is an experience you won't forget and will be dreaming about your next chance to sail with them again.

I'd heard about the city's underground passageways before visiting, but seeing them in person gave me a much better appreciation for Seattle's history and how the city was rebuilt after the Great Fire. The tour struck a nice balance between history and storytelling. Our guide kept things engaging, and there were plenty of opportunities to stop, look around, and imagine what the original streets would have looked like more than a century ago. The pace of the tour was comfortable, and by the end I felt like I had learned so many interesting facts about Seattle's early history while also getting to explore a part of the city that most people never see. If you're visiting Seattle for the first time, I'd definitely recommend adding an underground tour to your itinerary. It's a fun way to learn about the city's past and offers a completely different perspective on Seattle!

On Saturday, the 21st, four of us were scheduled to go and do this tour and we were extremely excited. After dealing with the atrocious Seattle traffic and terrible parking situations down by the pier I was already very frustrated. Our party arrived at the Ye Olde Curiosity Shop at 7:04 for our 7:00 pm tour and asked the worker where the tour meets to which the rude worker just replied under their breath, "they left" and returned to work.I explained that I understood we were late but were hoping we could catch up with them. I asked that same worker where the tour meets and they said, "In a big group outside" and continued to work. While we were on the pier in Seattle this information was not helpful. Trying to salvage the night, we went outside and tried to walk around and look for a "big group of people" on the crowded Seattle pier on a Saturday night. After a few minutes I went back inside he shop frustrated and asked the worker if they could find someone that was actually helpful that could answer some questions. With some reluctancy this person called their accommodating manager who explained that the tour heads to the right and described exactly what the tour guide was wearing. Ultimately we were unable to catch up with our tour guide because of how much time was wasted with this worker who was unwilling to help us at all. Again I understand we were late, but stuff happens. This place needs to hire people who have customer service skills.
