    About this experience

    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. ​

    A wonderful way to spend the afternoon.

    Captain Scott is a great human; kind, knowledgeable, professional, welcoming and easy to be with. We had a beautiful time on the water, enjoying both nature and the Seattle skyline. A great value for the money and a wonderful way to spend the afternoon.

    Captain Scott gave us a wonderful tour of SE coastline of Bainbridge Island with good fun wind tacking into bays close up to shoreline. His stories and knowledge were memorable.

    Wonderful Way To Enjoy Puget Sound With A Great Host

    Captain Scott was an amazing host. Wonderful views, calm atmosphere and great conversation. Was the most relaxing and entertaining day on the Sound. The perfect sunny weather only enhanced a great experience.

    Fantastic Sailing Experience

    Scott was a great guide - friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. He shared a lot of information in a way that was informative and engaging, without ever being condescending. We booked the trip as a gift for my husband's 50th birthday, and it was a perfect choice. When my husband mentioned his interest in sailing logistics, Scott took the time to explain several concepts and let him take the helm for a bit, which made the experience extra special. We also appreciated that Scott gave us options for what kind of sights we wanted to see - city skyline or nature. We chose nature and were lucky enough to spot sea lions! Overall, it was a fantastic outing and a memorable way to celebrate a milestone. Highly recommend!

    Excellent Sail with Captain Scott

    We had a terrific sail with Captain Scott. We learned a lot, had a chance to participate a bit, and just enjoyed the scenery and comfort of a lovely boat with a knowledgeable sailor. Couldn't have had a better time and we'll book again with friends.

    Guided Seattle Sailing Adventure from Bainbridge Island: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seattle.

    How much does Guided Seattle Sailing Adventure from Bainbridge Island cost?

    +

    Prices start at $360 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seattle usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Guided Seattle Sailing Adventure from Bainbridge Island take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Seattle is not rushed.

    Is Guided Seattle Sailing Adventure from Bainbridge Island worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 85 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seattle, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Seattle Sailing Adventure from Bainbridge Island?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Guided Seattle Sailing Adventure from Bainbridge Island suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Guided Seattle Sailing Adventure from Bainbridge Island?

    +

    Around 30 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Seattle can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Seattle and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Guided Seattle Sailing Adventure from Bainbridge Island start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Seattle within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Seattle?

    +

    Seattle's best days leave the city: Mount Rainier, the San Juans, Olympic National Park and Snoqualmie Falls are all day-trip range, and each one lives or dies on the driver-guide. In town, Pike Place food tours, underground history walks and harbour cruises dominate. Our ranking favours operators with small vans over full coaches on the mountain runs. On Outty we rank every Seattle experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mt. Rainier Day Tour from Seattle, Seattle City and Snoqualmie Falls Half-Day Guided Tour, Mt. Rainier National Park Highlights Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Seattle?

    +

    June to September for clear Rainier views and reliable ferry weather. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Seattle?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
