• Golden Gardens Park - On the way out of the marina, enjoy the view of more than 1,800 yachts as we then pass by Seattle’s favorite saltwater park Golden Gardens as we set sail, heading west across Puget Sound.
• Discovery Park - To the south, we will sail past Discovery Park with its historic West Point Lighthouse, which has protected ships from shoal waters while entering Seattle since 1881.
• Mt. Rainier - On clear days you should have a spectacular view of Mount Rainier, considered one of the most beautiful mountains in the world.
• Mount Baker - Snoqualmie National Forest - On a clear day, to the north, enjoy the view of Mount Baker, the state’s second highest mountain. It’s called a “Two Mountain Day” when you can see Mount Baker to the north and Mount Rainier to the south while sailing across Puget Sound.
• Olympic National Park - As we sail west, across the sound we will be aimed directly at the magnificent Olympic Mountains, the heart of Olympic National Park. For sunset sails, the mountains make for stunning sunsets. As the sun sets behind them it illuminates the mountain range and any wispy clouds above.

Experience the magic of being carried by the wind, just as Peter Puget was when he mapped these waters back in 1792. From Seattle’s Shilshole Bay Marina we sail west across Puget Sound toward the magnificent Olympic Mountains. Along the way we will watch for orcas, schools of our local porpoises, sea lions, harbor seals, bald eagles, great blue herons, and other wildlife. On the Sunset Cruise, we’ll enjoy the light show as the sun drops behind the well-named Mount Olympus and other peaks in the Olympic Range and illuminates feathery horizon clouds into glorious colors.
