A Cruise with a Captain to see and learn - The views were fabulous. The Captain was knowledgeable about the area. It was wonderful that he slowed down so we could get pictures of the seals.
I would recommend this cruise to anyone who is in the area.

Lifetime Memory - Thank you so much, Captain Tom, for a wonderful cruise! It meant the world to my sisters and me. It was a perfect blend of information, attention, and time to enjoy the beauty. Kevin was quick to volunteer to take our picture. Such a gift for us. Being near the water is so important to my sister who has cancer. This cruise buoyed her spirits and brought her such joy. Ready for the next round of treatment. And you made us laugh so hard with the comments about Southworth. Words aren't adequate to express our gratitude. It was so much more than a cruise. Thank you so much.

Excellent, personal, and informative - What an unexpected phenomenal experience. I live near by but was bringing visitors. We had plenty of room on the boat to relax with a picnic we brought as we cruised through the water way learning about the history of the area and about the animals and the rhythms of the water. And how interesting to see the architecture from this different perspective. The crew was kind and fun. And offered us all blankets after sunset. It was perfect.

Sunset on calm waters - Great way to spend a few early evening hours! The water was very calm and the sunset was lovely. The Captain narrated the history of the area and the Tacoma Narrows bridge. As a bonus we saw hump back whales!

Welcome Aboard! - This was our 3rd cruise with Captain Tom this summer and each delighted our visiting friends and family. The Shared Fall Colors cruise was our most recent and we had a lovely evening on the boat.
Every time we go out we see and learn new things. Don’t miss this opportunity to cruise with a local
captain who is so knowledgeable! This has become our “go to” for our visitors to Gig Harbor.

Awesome date night with the wife! - Captain was super pleasurable, and as a lifelong resident of Gog Harbor knew the area very well. Presented knowledge in both a timely and humorous way, leaving plenty of quiet time to enjoy the view or socialize with your guest(s). Also had a keen eye for wildlife, locating porpoises, sea lions, seals, and a bald eagle. Great two hours in the Narrows!

Beautiful! - We booked this trip last minute and the crew was very responsive to questions. There were only five of us in our group and we had the boat to ourselves so we could wander around as we wanted. Captains Tom and Ethan did a great job of pointing out the wildlife—several seals, eagles, sea lions and porpoises along the way. They also shared the history of the harbor and the bridges. The weather was perfect and when it got chilly, they had blankets if we wanted. Highly recommend!

Beautiful, relaxing - Very informative Trip . Beautiful way to end a day. We ate a early dinner at Anthony’s then went to the Maritime pier for a relaxing cruise. Captain Tom was very personable. Only drawback we didn’t know you could bring your own refreshments. This would have been helpful. Only had water with us. Nothing offered on board. Normally any cruise we have been on offers something. If you are in Mexico or Caribbean they always have drinks.
