Happy Hour Private Cruise

Olympia, Washington, sits at the southern tip of Puget Sound, framed by towering views of Mt. Rainier and the Olympic Mountains. Here, Olympia Sailing Company LLC invites visitors aboard the “Manna,” a 28-foot classic motorboat designed after traditional Norwegian cod boats—an uncommon sight in the Pacific Northwest.

The Happy Hour Private Cruise offers a unique way to connect with the water and surrounding landscape without the demands of paddling or navigating. With up to six guests, this intimate cruise presents a rare chance to unwind alongside friends while gliding past quiet coves, timbered shorelines, and shimmering waters under the watchful peaks of the Cascades. From the comfortable bench seating to the gentle hum of the motor, “Manna” provides a relaxed atmosphere that complements the striking panoramas of Mount Rainier's volcanic summit and the rugged ridges of the Olympic range.

Olympia Sailing Company’s professional captain pilots the vessel, ensuring a smooth, safe ride that allows passengers to focus on the scenery or enjoy casual conversation. Each cruise includes complimentary beverages, with BYOB available, making it a well-rounded social experience—perfect for a slow unwind after a day of outdoor adventure in the region. This cruise stands out as a distinctive offering in the local outdoor recreation landscape, blending maritime tradition with easy access to one of Washington’s most scenic waterways.

While Washington’s Puget Sound is known for kayaking and sailing, this private motorboat cruise provides an accessible option for those who want waterfront views without the physical effort. Olympia’s location, combined with the carefully curated experience aboard the “Manna,” makes this a top pick for visitors looking to savor the Pacific Northwest’s coastal splendor in style and comfort. Whether you’re based in the city or passing through, this laid-back cruise offers a refreshing perspective on a classic outdoor setting.
