Seattle Bay cruise - I had an absolutely incredible experience on the Seattle cruise of the bay! From the moment we stepped aboard, everything was seamless, welcoming, and beautifully organized. The views were breathtaking—watching the skyline, mountains, and water all come together was something we won’t forget anytime soon. Seeing the Space Needle from the water was a highlight and made the experience even more special. The crew was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about making the experience memorable for everyone on board. The atmosphere was relaxing yet elevated, and every detail felt thoughtfully curated. Whether you’re a local or visiting for the first time, this is a must-do experience. Perfect for unwinding, celebrating, or just soaking in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Highly recommend—easy 5 stars!

Great Views and Friendly Crew - I had a great experience with Argosy Cruises and would give it 4 stars. The views of Seattle from the water were beautiful, and the boat was clean and comfortable. The crew was friendly and professional, and the narration added nice context without being overwhelming. I wish the cruise was slightly longer, but overall it was a memorable and worthwhile experience.

Horrible Weather/Horrible Customer Service - We arrived to Brigh and sunny Seattle. The next day snow everywhere, unable to leave hotel, unable to get to cruise & they would not refund/ credit us! Cannot believe it. Not as if we Californians have any idea about navigating snow while Bay cruising! Won't do it again though . Fooled me once oh well.
