The Seattle Waterfront
|
Seattle's iconic waterfront & connected waterways offer delightful cruising opportunities. From the downtown waterfront to a trip through the historic locks and onward to Lake Union and Lake Washington, the options to mix & match destinations seems endless!
We can put together a fun-filled day cruise, or we can utilize one of the downtown marinas as a base, allowing you time to explore the area at your leisure. Give Captain Scott a call or text to discuss the details of your trip. (206)356-3104 |
Cruise along the seafront and enjoy stellar views of the Space Needle and Seattle’s downtown skyline.
The downtown Bell Harbor Marina, located alongside Seattle’s Great Ferris Wheel at Pier 57, is an excellent base for overnight exploration or an afternoon visit. Less than one mile away is Pike Place Market (which tops everyone’s must-see list). The Space Needle with it’s famous revolving, glass floor is also within walking distance. Ubers, Taxis, eBikes and eScooters are readily available throughout the Seattle area.
Evening cruises along the waterfront and into the west waterway fronting Alki Beach make for a dramatic ending to the day. The setting sun & twinkling city lights combine to light up the skyline!
Other popular options include a trip through the historic Ballard Hiram Chittenden Locks followed by a tour of Lake Union or Lake Washington.
We take in all the big, iconic sights, as well as many small, lesser-known hideaways where local boaters paddle and cruise.
Remember Sleepless in Seattle? Yacht guests enjoy viewing and photographing the gorgeous waterfront, the mountain peaks in the distance and the unique, funky houseboats.

Winslow on Bainbridge Island is known for its artsy, walkable downtown and fine dining. Poulsbo, our very own Little Norway, is brimming with colorful Norwegian architecture, outdoor dining options, fine jewelry & home décor and of course, famous Sluy’s Bakery. No trip to Poulsbo is complete without a stop at this world famous, family owned, den of temptation! Gig Harbor is proud of its Croation fishing heritage and offers a variety of cultural experiences. An outdoor concert series is held throughout the summer at Skansie Brothers Park on the waterfront. Kayak and SUP rentals are available as well as…Gondola Rides! That’s right. Gig Harbor is home to the only Venetian gondola operation in the entire Pacific Northwest. They’re as much fun to watch as they are to ride! Tacoma and the Thea Foss Waterway – The waterfront attractions here are amazing! We dock directly in the front of the Chihuly Museum of Glass and the Washington State History Museum. Car buffs LOVE spending time at the Lemay’s America Car Museum while foodies rave about Indochine Asian Cuisine and El Gaucho Steakhouse. Kids of all ages say that the trip to Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium is well worth it. Free downtown LINK lightrail service makes it easy to get from one end of town to the other.
