Set sail from the heart of downtown Seattle and experience the city from a completely different perspective on this relaxed 1.5-hour sailing adventure. Family-owned and operating since 1984, Sailing Seattle is widely recognized as the oldest sailing cruise company in Seattle, departing from Pier 56 on the waterfront—conveniently located next to The Seattle Shop. Step aboard a classic 70-foot ocean racing yacht and glide out onto Elliott Bay, surrounded by sweeping views of the skyline, nearby islands, and the distant Olympic Mountains.

Designed to be casual, social, and fun for all ages, this daytime sail is perfect whether you want to simply sit back and enjoy the ride or get a hands-on introduction to sailing. As the crew hoists the sails and the engine quiets, you’ll feel the boat come alive under wind power, creating a peaceful, unforgettable experience on the water. No sailing experience is needed—just bring your sense of adventure.

Bring along your favorite drinks and snacks (it’s BYOB!) and settle in as you take in Seattle’s iconic sights from the water. Whether you’re visiting the city for the first time or looking for a unique local experience, this 1.5-hour sail offers the perfect mix of scenery, relaxation, and authentic Pacific Northwest charm.
