My wife had never been on a ferry boat. We took the shortest ferry boat ride from the Seattle port. It was a great way to see a view of the city from the water. This was a very cheap but fun activity to do in Seattle. more

Well for under $14.00 for 2, how could this not be a great excursion! We went to Bainbridge Island. It fit in well with touring International and the Pioneer Square section of town. It was a short ride and a wonderful photo opportunity on both sides of the boat. One side of downtown Seattle and the other of the small... more

We went on the Bremerton Ferry in the afternoon on a sunny 70 degree day and it simply is a must. You get to see Seattle in the daylight and then return after dinner in the night. The city lights are awesome. You can not miss this. more

It was a perfect evening to take the boat over fairly... more

The Seattle to Bainbridge Island ferry is used mostly for commuters who live on the island but is an excellent way for vacationers to spend a couple hours or a whole day while they are in Seattle. Just getting out on the water to get a view of Seattle from the water and a view of the Puget Sound was... more

We took the Washington State Ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge. If you're looking for a simple boat ride or just want to get out on the water, this is a great value. There was more than enough seating (inside and outside), it was clean, and boarding/disembarking was quick and painless. We didn't even go on the island, just wanted to... more
