What's Included
- A 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.

We will meet you and drop you off at the Bainbridge Island City Dock, which is a short walk from the Bainbridge Ferry Terminal. We are conveniently located one block south of Winslow Way and the Town & Country supermarket.

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!

Awesome sailing experience - Great time! Would definitely go again. We got to learn some things about sailing, brought drinks and sat at the front to enjoy being on the water, and chatting with Scott was enjoyable. it was the perfect day for sailing and seeing the views of the city. The waters around Bainbridge were beautiful!

Wonderful Excursion - Book this. Just do it. I went and did this on my own and felt safe, educated, and in awe of how beautiful this experience was. Scott truly went above and beyond with his recommendations and details of must-sees while visiting. I went back in November and still have been telling everyone how incredible it was.

Sailing from Eagle Harbor on Bainbridge Island with Captain Scott - Beautiful boat, talented skipper with loads of experience, beautiful water, beautiful weather. It would be impossible to ask for or expect more! Our brief afternoon charter on Rumbera with Captain Scott will surely be repeated on return visits from land-locked Montana. A delightful experience with a great guy at the helm. And I got to drive the boat too!

It was amazing. - Scott was absolutely amazing. Will 100% be coming back. He sparked my interest in sailing and I will now be pursuing my license within the next year. He made it fun and allowed us to take part in the actually sailing. Would recommend to anyone who wants a great time out on the water.

Best part of Seattle - If you have sailed extensively or never been on a sailboat, you will enjoy Captain Scott and his sloop Rumbera. Puget Sound is a great place to sail and I guarantee you will learn something. You can sit back and relax or take the helm. Captain Scott will make you feel comfortable and share his knowledge of the area - historical or current. Or, if you want to learn more about sailing, he has the experience as a sailing instructor to help both the expert and the newbie. If you get to Seattle, don't miss this opportunity.
