We had a delightful time with Captain Curt. He was friendly and answered all questions. We didn't feel rushed or hurried at all. We had a great afternoon and family outing. I highly recommend this excursion.

Captain Russ is spectacular. He is an amazing captain with a great personality. Captain Russ made my family feel at home out on the water. Thank you for creating a fabulous memory for my family.

Loved it, we had a 3 hour daytime private sail with Russ. We were able to sit on the front of the boat and got to relax together. Would recommend for anyone looking for a private experience or a COVID-safe experience.

We took an afternoon sail on the Puget Sound. We hardly sailed because the wind did not cooperate but the experience was still wonderful. Russ was attentive and full of interesting facts about the Puget Sound and the locations we saw along our cruise. I highly recommend this experience. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Russ!

Captain Russ was great. Very mellow afternoon, no set agenda. Boat was very nice, stable. If you are looking for a way to get out of town and enjoy something cozy with your family this is a great option. Thanks

Thoroughly enjoyed our time sailing. Russ was a knowledgeable and friendly captain! Highly recommend this experience while in Seattle.

“I would give 10 stars if I could! I couldn’t recommend the sunset cruise with Captain Kelley more highly. My husband and I had an absolute blast with Captain Kelley and his two adorable dogs. He was incredibly knowledgable about every landmark on the tour- from the water level, to the wild life and surrounding houses. He took us past the floating houses, the tech mansions in Medina, and the sleepless in Seattle house. Seeing the sunset over the Seattle skyline was simply stunning, followed by an incredible view of the city lights at night. The weather was mostly cold and raining on our tour, but fortunately Captain Kelley has a spacious and warm indoor area for passengers to sit. This cruise is an unbelievable deal and is truly one of a kind. We look forward to taking our family and friends on this cruise in the future.”
