A Dining Experience That Celebrates Local Seafood and Plant-Based Cuisine
This boat cruise stands out by offering a thoughtfully crafted menu focusing on local produce and seafood (vegetarian and vegan options available) that delights even the most discerning palates. Chef Katherine focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients to create dishes that are both flavorful and visually appealing.
Some highlights include (daily changing menu):
Broiled Hama Hama oysters with chili brown sugar butter
Smoky Seasonal Salad with grilled peaches, peppered thick cut bacon, greens
Pan Seared Salmon with seasonal produce
Chocolate cheesecake with dried cherries and freshly whipped cream
Vegan chocolate mousse made from avocado and dark cocoa for dessert
Each dish is prepared with care to ensure a balance of taste, texture, and creativity. The menu changes daily, so every cruise offers new flavors to explore.
Bring Your Own Alcohol for a Personalized Touch
One of the most appealing features of this cruise is the option to bring your own alcohol. This policy lets you enjoy your favorite wines, craft beers, or specialty cocktails without worrying about limited selections or high markups. It’s perfect for those who want to pair their meal with a preferred drink or celebrate a special occasion with a bottle of champagne.
Here are some tips to make the most of this option:
Pack a cooler with ice to keep your drinks chilled
Corkscrew or bottle opener available if needed
Rides available to/from the marina
The crew reserves the right to return to the marina if a guest overconsumes (without refund)
This flexibility adds a personal touch to the dining experience and lets you tailor the evening exactly how you like it.

Breathtaking Views of the Olympic Mountains
The cruise route is carefully chosen to showcase the best views of the Olympic Mountains. As the boat glides across the water, you’ll have uninterrupted sights of the rugged peaks, often dusted with snow into the middle of the season, against the backdrop of a setting sun. The changing light creates a magical atmosphere that photographers and nature lovers will appreciate.
The calm waters reflect the mountains and sky, doubling the beauty around you. It’s a peaceful setting that invites relaxation and reflection. Whether you’re on the deck, up top on the flybridge or seated inside our cabin with large panoramic windows, the scenery remains the star of the show.

Welcoming Your Dogs on Board
Pet owners will be thrilled to know that this boat cruise warmly welcomes dogs. Bringing your dog along means you don’t have to leave your furry friend behind or worry about finding a sitter. The cruise provides a pet-friendly environment where dogs can enjoy the fresh air and new sights alongside you.
Some important details about the pet policy:
Dogs must be leashed on the dock
Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets
Water bowls and treats are encouraged to keep pets comfortable
Small to medium-sized dogs are best suited for the space available
This policy makes the cruise a perfect outing for dog lovers who want to share a special evening with their companions.
Tips for Planning Your Perfect Sunset Cruise
To ensure your evening goes smoothly, consider these practical tips:
Book early: Sunset cruises are popular and fill up quickly, especially on weekends and holidays.
Dress comfortably: Evenings on the water can get cool, so bring layers or a light jacket.
Arrive on time: Boarding starts at the listed cruise time (typically 6PM).
Bring a camera: The views are stunning, and you’ll want to capture the moment.
Notify the crew about dietary needs: If you have allergies or special requests, informing the staff ahead of time helps them prepare.
Prepare your pet: Bring a leash, waste bags, and any comfort items your dog might need.
Following these tips will help you relax and enjoy every moment of the cruise.

This fine dining boat cruise offers a rare combination of features that make it truly special:

Together, these elements create an evening that appeals to food lovers, nature enthusiasts, and pet owners alike. It’s a chance to connect with friends, family, and your dog while enjoying a beautiful setting and delicious food.
