Perfect!

Everything was amazing and far exceeded the expectations that my wife and I had for the sailing trip, which was her birthday gift and, thus, our expectations were already high!!! The trip was magical, the host the best host one can ask for on a sailboat, the boat was well-maintained and comfortable, and the route provided some of the best views on the Puget Sound!! We will definitely book again, especially when we have family and friends visiting us from out of state!

Peaceful & beautiful sunset sail!

Seems like the only private sailing tour available in the area and is absolutely worth the price!!! Purchased as an early birthday gift for my wife who loves being on the water. The sunset was breathtaking, Russ was an incredible host, and we were able to fully enjoy the experience and each other's company without being crammed in a boat with a bunch of strangers! We brought snacks and drinks and completely forgot about them because we were so entranced with the view. If you're on the fence about booking...do it!! You won't regret it.

This is the one you don’t want to miss.

We were two women on the boat with the captain. This was hands down the most personal, laid back, comfortable experience with Captain Russ. You can tell how much he loves the water and he loves to share it! He made sure that my wife and I were comfortable and let us know before any waves hit so we had our sea legs. He took time to show us the wildlife in the area and some of his favorite stories making this an even more memorable “experience.” The boat is beautiful! Hanging with him in the cockpit was great and you’re also allowed to take it all in on the bow if you want to walk out. This is THE best experience in the area. Don’t pass this one up!

Fun evening with great views!

What a great tour with amazing views! Our captain was a great host and we had a lot of fun. I loved being able to do this affordably with our small private group (6 of us). We saw lots of wildlife and a beautiful sunset. I would recommend to anyone!!

Beautiful sunset! Relaxing and peaceful sail on the water.

We really appreciated the private tour around Puget sound at sunset. Loved the wildlife and learning about the area and sailboats. We were glad we had layers with the breeze and setting sun, but the captain had our backs with blankets if needed. We felt it was the perfect way to close out our Pacific Northwest trip!

Relaxing sunset sail

We had a fantastic sunset sail with Russ! He was knowledgeable and friendly and created a relaxing atmosphere for us to enjoy Puget Sound. We highly recommend booking with him for your next family or group event.

Great sailing company. Would use again

Captain Russ is an amazing boat host. He skillfully sailed our group of six out of Shilshole Bay marina one spring evening in his immaculately-maintained boat. We snacked, drank, socialized, and enjoyed staggeringly beautiful views as Russ pointed out marine life (this time mostly sea lions and some porpoises, but he does regularly see whales!) and answered our questions about local geography and marine history (he seems to know everything about both). Russ is charming and knowledgeable and, most importantly, very good at sailing. He is focused on both the enjoyment and safety of his guests. His outings also a great deal; I did some comparison shopping and no one beats Russ's rates for what you get. He delivered an experience above and beyond our expectations so we will be back. Be sure to tip this man well!

Beautiful day on the sound!

Captain Russ was a great guide providing lots of information about Puget Sound. He was very responsive to communication and even helped us get back a cell phone that was left at the marina. Great afternoon sailing. Definitely recommend!!

Porpoises, Sea Lions, Mt. Rainier, Oh My!

This tour was truly amazing! We caught Captain Russ on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon in Seattle and he took amazing care of us. From the moment we arrived, Russ’ expertise and welcoming nature had our whole group excited to get on the water! Russ was able to point out a harbor porpoise, the sea lion’s favorite lounging spots, and made sure we got an amazing view of the sound and Mt. Rainier! The BYOB nature of the tour elevated our experience so much! We came prepared with some delicious snacks and drinks, it was like a party on a sailboat! What a perfect way to spend a sunshiney afternoon!
