The light hangs on past nine in midsummer and the city looks better for it. These 14 cover the sunset sails, the after-dark walks and the dinner cruises, priced and timed.
Sail Puget Sound aboard a historic tall ship, hoist the sails, enjoy a drink, and watch Seattle, Mount Rainier, and sunset glow.
“Staff is very friendly. The whole experience was very nice. The best part was helping out with hoisting one of the sails.”
Sail Seattle Harbor aboard the Bay Lady at sunset, with skyline views, Olympic Mountains, onboard drinks, and hands-on sailing.

Sail Seattle at sunset on a 70-foot yacht with skyline, mountain, and Puget Sound views, plus your own food and beer or wine onboard.

See Seattle after dark from the Great Wheel, Kerry Park, and Space Needle on a small-group tour with downtown pickup.
“This was a private tour, which I wasn’t aware when booking. What a great surprise. We were 3 people in total. Had an amazing time! Our tour guide born and raised in Seattle was absolutely amazing. Would recommend 10000%”
Sail Puget Sound from Seattle with Captain Grant, spotting seals, dolphins, lighthouses, and mountain sunsets aboard a six-person boat.
“Grant is an amazing captain who instills confidence in his crew. He gives everyone, from the first time sailer to the seasoned old salt, an opportunity to grow in this sailing adventure. He is calm, patient and enthusiastic about sailing. He has made multiple accommodations to his sailboat to ensure safety and comfort from high side rails to cushioned seats, he even installed two seats by the mast to give his guests a better view. I highly recommend sailing with Grant. It was the highlight of our trip to Seattle.”
See Seattle after dark from the Great Wheel, Kerry Park, and Space Needle, with hotel pickup, a small group, and a 3.5-hour city drive.

She was very friendly and helpful and made recommendations for when we wanted to know where to go for food close to our hotel.”
