Sail the Sound: Tall Ship Cruise from Seattle’s Waterfront

Looking for a romantic Seattle date idea with serious wow factor? Set sail aboard the Tall Ship, an 85-foot schooner offering unforgettable cruises across Elliott Bay. This unique two-hour sailing experience trades city traffic for sea breezes, skyline views, and a front-row seat to Seattle’s maritime charm. You’ll glide past landmarks, hear stories from the crew, and maybe even spot seals or porpoises along the way.

It’s one of the best couples activities in Seattle for a warm evening or special occasion. You’re welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks, making it easy to turn the sail into a personalized outing. Whether you’re chasing a sunset or just soaking in the calm under full sails, this laid-back adventure feels like a true escape. Before or after your trip, enjoy Pacific Northwest flavors and Pike Place views at Matt’s in the Market, or savor French-inspired dishes in a romantic setting at Maximilien.
