Explore Port Townsend from the water as you cruise to points of interest around Port Townsend Bay aboard our comfortable catamaran, Admiral Jack. While our knowledgeable crew shares the history of our charming village-by-the-sea, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the seafaring wildlife that inhabits our coastal waters and indulge in views of the Olympic and Cascade mountains.

Please purchase your ticket online in advance to ensure your spot on the boat. Walk-up availability may be limited; last-minute tickets can be purchased in the Chandlery, located at 431 Water St, Port Townsend—if space allows. Kids aged 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
