This was a GREAT informative cruise for our first visit to Seattle. I apologize I’ve forgotten the name of the gal who spoke for the tour information but she was awesome and full of great details. The entire crew and captain were a delight and super friendly. We highly recommend this cruise company and this cruise.Posted on Google![]()

My husband and I loved the tour! Beautiful scenery, learned a lot about Lake Union, the locks in between Lake Union and the Puget Sound, and Seattle tourist attractions. We did opy for the 2 hour cruise, and agreed the 2 hr cruise is the way to go. The 1 hr would have been to short!Posted on Google![]()
