This cruise takes you through the heart of Puget Sound hailing out of Gig Harbor, WA. Our cruise is available to individual travelers rather than groups only. Our vessel, "RIVIERA" is a restored, US Coast Guard certified, classic Northwest built charter boat. She and her captain and crew are steeped in Puget Sound legacy and experience. This smooth-water cruise takes us under two major suspension bridges. Wildlife ranges from seagulls to Bald Eagles, seals and sea lions. Can't miss Mt. Rainier and the Olympic Mountain range unimpeded except for some clouds. You can bring-your-own snacks and drinks. This is an interactive trip where we candidly and casually interpret our surroundings. There is plenty of time on this cruise where you are left to enjoy the cruise without interruption. We will talk with you and answer your questions along the way. (Senior Age is 62. Cruise is recommended for ages 10 and above.)

Great late afternoon boat trip
Captain and crew were great. Very knowledgeable about the area, friendly, made you feel like they want you to have a good experience and kept the whole experience light and relaxing. We learned many new things and the Captain was not pretentious and had a good sense of humor. 5+ stars for this trip Dennis and Chris Collins
Response from the operator: That's super nice Dennis and Chris! We are glad you had a good time.

Lovely scenery
We didn't get to see much wildlife this trip but the view of the waterfront homes is lovely. We got to see the houseboat and the Narrows Bridge. The Captain was very informative and caring.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review.

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!
Response from the operator: Thank you Sean for your detailed review! See you again!

Shared 2 Hour September Sunset Cruise from Gig Harbor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seattle.
How much does Shared 2 Hour September Sunset Cruise from Gig Harbor cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 Shared 2 Hour September Sunset Cruise from Gig Harbor 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 Shared 2 Hour September Sunset Cruise from Gig Harbor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 17 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 Shared 2 Hour September Sunset Cruise from Gig Harbor?
+
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 Shared 2 Hour September Sunset Cruise from Gig Harbor 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 Shared 2 Hour September Sunset Cruise from Gig Harbor?
+
Around 6 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 Shared 2 Hour September Sunset Cruise from Gig Harbor 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, Chef Guided Food Tour of Pike Place Market. 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.
What is included in Shared 2 Hour September Sunset Cruise from Gig Harbor?
+
Included: All Fees and Taxes. Not included: Gratuities are not included in price. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Shared 2 Hour September Sunset Cruise from Gig Harbor?
+
We leave from and return to Maritime Pier, Gig Harbor. Parking is in the surrounding few blocks, in addition to the small lot at the pier. You can bring your own picnic. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

+

+
