Don't miss this tour, it's wonderful! - Absolutely worth going to Gig Harbor for, couldn't possibly have been more delighted!!! And we very much enjoyed how much Captain Tom enjoys being the skipper:) He filled the two hours with fascinating insights about Gig Harbor and the places we cruised past, and he clued us in on wildlife facts we would never have even thought to ask about on our own. It all made the trip endlessly delightful and engaging, we will be back the next chance we get!

A must-do! - I went on this two hour boat cruise with family and it was absolutely fantastic! The weather was perfect and the waters calm. The cruise was incredibly informative. Our captain was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the history, sharing stories about the harbor's. This cruise is a must-do!

Fantastic - Wonderful outing. Easy meet-up spot next to Tides Tavern. Very accessible for all ages and fitness levels. They do have a spot on the top of the vessel that you have to be able to climb a ladder to enjoy, but certainly not a necessity as there are plenty of other spots to sit both inside and out. Informative captain. Started the tour with a brief history of the harbor then we went out towards the narrows bridge. Lots of good wildlife spotting. Sea lions, seals, bald eagles, and porpoises. When it started to get chilly the deckhand came around offering warm blankets to everyone. They do advertise a bathroom on board but we did not need the facilities during the two hour excursion so cannot speak to that. All in all, great experience.

We loved it! - We had a wonderful evening on this cruise. From the added tidbits on what we were seeing at the moment, the unique perspective of seeing the bridge from the water, to just enjoying being on the water and seeing views you don't see on an everyday basis around here.

A Cruise with a Captain to see and learn - The views were fabulous. The Captain was knowledgeable about the area. It was wonderful that he slowed down so we could get pictures of the seals. I would recommend this cruise to anyone who is in the area.

Lifetime Memory - Thank you so much, Captain Tom, for a wonderful cruise! It meant the world to my sisters and me. It was a perfect blend of information, attention, and time to enjoy the beauty. Kevin was quick to volunteer to take our picture. Such a gift for us. Being near the water is so important to my sister who has cancer. This cruise buoyed her spirits and brought her such joy. Ready for the next round of treatment. And you made us laugh so hard with the comments about Southworth. Words aren't adequate to express our gratitude. It was so much more than a cruise. Thank you so much.

Excellent, personal, and informative - What an unexpected phenomenal experience. I live near by but was bringing visitors. We had plenty of room on the boat to relax with a picnic we brought as we cruised through the water way learning about the history of the area and about the animals and the rhythms of the water. And how interesting to see the architecture from this different perspective. The crew was kind and fun. And offered us all blankets after sunset. It was perfect.

Sunset on calm waters - Great way to spend a few early evening hours! The water was very calm and the sunset was lovely. The Captain narrated the history of the area and the Tacoma Narrows bridge. As a bonus we saw hump back whales!

Beautiful, relaxing - Very informative Trip . Beautiful way to end a day. We ate a early dinner at Anthony’s then went to the Maritime pier for a relaxing cruise. Captain Tom was very personable. Only drawback we didn’t know you could bring your own refreshments. This would have been helpful. Only had water with us. Nothing offered on board. Normally any cruise we have been on offers something. If you are in Mexico or Caribbean they always have drinks.
