We took the locks cruise and Angelo was our guide and was AMAZING. He had a lot of cool facts about Seattle and a great way of telling a story. The captain was also very good, he explained all about the locks and how they work. Definitely worth the moneyPosted on Google![]()

This was a nice overview of the harbor in Seattle. We were happy to see the sea lions and the other harbor seal. We enjoyed the harbor cruise. I was quick surprise with the snacks and beverages available, more than I expected.Posted on Google![]()

Seriously chill. Lovely, relaxed journey around the Sound, great views, and it had even stopped raining. Definitely worth it. Note - this was fine by us - that there is very little commentary on the sunset cruise (the booking form/website does say so clearly), so if you want a narrated tour, choose a different one. We were very content without narration. Would recommend.Posted on Google![]()

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!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
