Glide silently across Elliott Bay on a fully crewed private sailboat with the Olympic Mountains framing the horizon and Seattle's skyline glowing astern — arguably the most beautiful three hours available anywhere on the Pacific Northwest coast.
What to expect
Step aboard a beautifully maintained sail yacht at the Seattle waterfront and cast off into Elliott Bay with a professional captain at the helm. The sail takes in the downtown skyline, Mount Rainier on clear days, and the living waterway traffic of one of America's great working ports. Champagne and light provisions can be arranged in advance, making it ideal for a celebratory occasion. The silence of sail power — compared with motor boats — gives the experience an almost meditative quality.
Good to know
Arrange provisions and any special requests (champagne, charcuterie) directly with the operator at booking. Three hours fits comfortably within a port day; confirm exact departure and return marina with the operator when booking. Seattle's summer afternoons offer the best sailing winds and the longest golden-hour light — late afternoon departures are especially spectacular.
