Guided Seattle Sailing Adventure from Bainbridge Island

Join a guided sailing adventure from Bainbridge Island. Spot seals, whales, and submarines while exploring stunning harbors and learning rich local history.

Duration: 2 hours
Cancellation: 1 day learn more
Highlights
  • Exotic Aquatics Kayak Dock - We depart from Bainbridge Island’s Waterfront Park, an easy walk from the ferry landing and downtown Winslow. Leaving the dock, we’ll pass through beautiful Eagle Harbor before raising sails. To the east you’ll see the iconic skyline of Seattle, with majestic Mount Rainier to the south, the Olympic Mountains to the west, and Mount Baker to the north. We’ll raise sails, turn off the motor, and take in the unique beauty of Puget Sound.
What's Included
  • Cooler with ice, bottled water, and soft drinks
Additional Information

Depending on the day, we’ll get up close to seals, explore some beautiful harbors with stunning waterfront homes, and maybe even spot whales. Or we could see a nuclear submarine, inbound container ships, or century-old schooners. You’ll learn about Bainbridge Island’s unique history, from having the largest shipyard for wooden vessels in the West, to the earthquake that lifted a whole section of the Island 23 feet which can still be seen today, and of being the first place from which Japanese-Americans were forcibly removed from their homes during World War II.

  • Because of the nature of sailing, the minimum age is 3 and–unfortunately– pets are not allowed.

Fun and relaxing sunset sail! - We had a wonderful and relaxing time sailing with Captain Scott. He is super knowledgeable which made the whole experience such a fun time. He is very flexible with what works well for his guests, we had some travel Delays and he was very accommodating! He went out of his way to share recommendations with us for our trip. Highly recommend and hope to be back soon!

A great afternoon sail - Scott was friendly and at ease with both kids and adults on our sail. The setting was beautiful, and he made it a great afternoon even with very light wind. The boat was comfortable and we enjoyed every minute.

A Relaxing Sail on Puget Sound - We visited Seattle on my birthday to see Billy Joel and discovered Captain Scott's adventure here on Trip Advisor. Scott was communicative and responsive before the trip, providing detailed instructions on how to catch the ferry to Bainbridge Island, where he would meet us for the sailing. The day before the trip, Scott checked in to inform us that the weather was not ideal and offered to reschedule for the next day. Although our schedule didn’t allow for that we had good gear, so we decided to brave the elements. His considerate offer was much appreciated. On the morning of our sail, it was cloudy with a bit of rain, but we met Scott at the docks as planned. The rain stopped within a few minutes of casting off, and we enjoyed a leisurely and quiet sail with just enough wind to keep us moving. Scott is a friendly and engaging conversationalist, making it feel like we were sailing with an old friend. The views of the island and Seattle were spectacular, even with the clouds, making for a perfect and relaxing couple of hours on the water. Highly recommended!

Must Do Event in Seattle - Captain Scott showed us an awesome time on the water! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and shared interesting stories about the shoreline sights, as well as his sailing travels around the world. When the weather forecast changed and called for rain, Captain Scott proactively reached out to us to suggest other times to ensure we had a great experience. Sailing with Captain Scott is a must do event in Seattle and we highly recommend this experience!

Highly Recommend - Captain Scott was a pleasure to have as a host/guide. He is so chill and friendly. Small World - we both went to Lakes High School and he knew my high school boyfriend. The sail boat was clean and comfortable. My daughter Savannah and I sat up in the front of the boat where the view was amazing. Thank-you for a relaxed sailing adventure. Highly Recommend a sail boat ride while visiting the area.

Sailing on the Sound - We sailed yesterday afternoon from Banebridge Island and it was an amazing experience. Captain Scott was a wealth of information regarding Seattle and the surrounding islands. He is so personable which made the experience so much better. We learned so much about sailing and even had the opportunity to steer the sail boat. I will definitely come back to sail with him when I’m back in WA.

Captain Scott will teach you about Knots - Captain Scott was honestly one of the nicest people I’ve met in Seattle. His knowledge of sailing and ability to share it was profound. We were blessed with great winds that day and Scott let all of us have an opportunity to steer the ship and feel that power sailing gives you. I’ll 100% be charting the Rumbera and hanging out with Scott again! Thanks for a good time buddy!
