Great way to spend part of an afternoon. We really enjoyed this tour! Our guide was very informative and it was a great way to see Seattle. We loved seeing the locks.

The ad was misleading, saying that we would see Lake Washington and Lake Union on a two and a half hour cruise leaving from Pier 55. We got there and were asked to board a bus that drove us to Lake Union. Then the tour went straight out the locks and around to Pier 55. The tour was nice but since the main reason for buying this package was to see Husky stadium from the water it turned out to be a bust for me and my out of town guest.

Nice way to spend a few hours and see Seattle from the water. The boat was clean and comfortable. The narration during the trip was excellent. The locks were very cool, glad we got to experience them. The Sleepless in Seattle houseboat community was really interesting to see. I would absolutely recommend this tour.

Of all the tours in Seattle, this is one of the very best. The scenery is spectacular and the guide_br/_ is terrific. It was highly educational and the guide could not have been better. There were probably_br/_ 35-50 people on this boat, but it never seemed like you were crowded, and the length of the tour_br/_ was somewhere in the 3 hour range which was perfect. I highly recommend this tour!

The Panama Canal is on my bucket list. If I don't make it, I've now done the next best thing! It was so much fun seeing one gate close and the other open. I ran back and forth so as not to miss anything. Good narrative too.

I took my 2 adult daughters on the Chittenham Locks cruise, 2 1/2 hours of education and entertainment, for our annual Girls Weekend! It was delightful. First of all the Seattle weather was at it's best! The boarding was efficient and on time. Seating was available for everyone on board. The food service was well designed and seemed to go on without a hitch. Cocktails were available making the cruise even more fun. The young woman doing the commentary had a clear voice and was easy to understand. She was extremely well versed in the views of the Seattle waterfront and about the history of the Locks which was celebrating it's 100 year anniversary. Our Captain was entertaining. He added to the uniqueness of the cruise by performing an original song which he had composed for the Centennial Celebration of the Locks. He played it twice...once for us a little early as property owners along the beach called for his performance. The second performance was as we proceeded thru the Locks, entertaining all the weekend Locks watchers!We all agreed it was the highlight of our weekend together.

The ships captain set the tone and was very knowledgable and funny too. She started off with great information and then her first mate took over and WOW. What a fantastic tour. Helpful hints from my experience is to make sure you bring a light jacket or sweater no matter what the temp is, because it will be a little chilly. Additionally, we caught a cab to the harbor where we caught the ship. When the cruise was finished, everyone else got on the bus to take them back to where we started but we just walked across to our hotel Lake Union Courtyard Marriott, which was perfect. I would recommend this tour to everyone. Do not miss it! Loved it.

The Locks cruise was amazing! My husband and I had no idea what the locks were all about so it was educational too. Loved seeing the tug boats, yachts and the floating houses. Truly amazing ride.

Excellent and informative Seattle waterfront tour.
Review by: Connie C, September 2017
This was my first time in Seattle and I would highly recommend taking this short cruise. It was a beautiful day and the tour was just enough time to experience the city from the boat. Don't be afraid to walk around the boat and take lots of pictures. You catch a bus and it takes you to the dock where the boat is. It was fun talking to people on the boat. I flew in from DC in the am and took the 3:30 tour that day but I am so glad I could fit this in my business trip. The weather was perfect. interesting to learn about the locks system and see the house boat from the Sleepless in Seattle movie but seeing the lighthouse and the planes landing on the water in front of you was great too. Good view of Mt Rainer and Space Needle too! Worth the money. The tour guide was funny but knowledgeable about the area.

It was interesting to sail through the lock, see all the industry and house boats on the water, watch the seaplanes dodge the marine traffic to land on Lake Union. Although it was a good tour it would probably have been the one we missed if we had t cut one of the tours off. Not a necessity but a nice way to spend an afternoon in Seattle on a hot day.
