Boat Tours

Seattle is on the water and about the water and if you want to truly experience something of what makes this city unique, consider taking one of the daily tours offered by Argosy Cruises, departing from Pier 55 on the waterfront. Argosy offers a harbor cruise and tours that will take you through the century-old Chittenden Locks that connected freshwater Lake Washington and Lake Union to saltwater Puget Sound. Let’s Go Sailing at Pier 54 offers 90-minute excursions on of Elliott Bay, without commentary, on a 70-foot sailboat. For another take on maritime Seattle, where many residents commute to the city by ferry, hop on a commuter ferry operated by Washington State Ferries and enjoy a ride, with scenic skyline view, between downtown and Bainbridge Island.
