Sunset cruise is not to be missed - The scenic cruise was excellent. The guide is native to the area and his love of the area is apparent. Many interesting facts are shared about the history of the sound, the animals encountered and the best photo opportunities.

3 Hour Sunset Cruise from Gig Harbor - Enjoyed the top deck for sure, so much knowledge about the history of surrounding area & Narrows bridge. Learned so much. Perfect tour for sure & very reasonable! Suggest you bring water & take a blanket as you return from under narrows Bridge Into Gig Harbor. Friendly staff. Would do again in a heart beat.

Great experience! - The Captain was very knowledgable about the boat, as well as the recent and past history of the harbor and the area. Having a bathroom on the boat and being able to move out of the wind and into a warmer area was nice. I’d highly recommend this tour.

A great way to spend an afternoon - Beautiful day, beautiful scenery. Capt.Tom is so knowledgeable of the area and boatsmanship is happy to share what he knows. No need to worry about seasickness, as the ride is smooth. You can sit comfortably in open air or a covered area and you won’t miss the sunset anywhere you sit.

I learned so much more than I expected! Stunning Views of Puget Sound!! - The sunset cruise was so much more than I expected I knew that I was going to see some beautiful views, but I did not realize how much I was going to learn about the history of Puget Sound and Gig Harbor and the animals of the sea, the mountains, and so much more! It was fun, entertaining, relaxing, and beautiful to see Mount Rainier under the sunset from the water, the seals, and to just be around other people who enjoy similar things as you. Highly recommend 10 out of 10!!

Beautiful time on the sound - We celebrated our 40th anniversary doing the 3 hour sunset cruise and had a great time. The captain was very knowledgeable, pointing out points of interest. The views were beautiful. We were able to bring snacks on board. Would definitely recommend it.
