Originally built to transport coal and timber, the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks act as a barrier between the salt water of Puget Sound and the freshwater beyond. Experience the locks firsthand, ride up a boat elevator, and admire Seattle from the water during this one-of-a-kind cruise!
Your sail begins, you’ll sail beneath the Fremont and Ballard Bridges, past the "Sleepless in Seattle" floating houseboat district, and so much more. Along the way, your captain will provide fascinating facts about the city and this historic waterway.
You’ll get an up-close view of the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, or Ballard Locks. Watch in awe as this powerful lock effortlessly raises your boat from the fresh waters of Lake Union and into the salt water of Puget Sound.
Then, wrap around the coast of Discovery Park and cruise through Elliott Bay. Get your camera ready as you pass by the Great Wheel, Olympic Sculpture Park, and of course, the Space Needle! Throughout your cruise, you’ll also admire breathtaking views of the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges.
Treat yourself or a loved one to an unforgettable day with this One-Way Seattle Locks Cruise from Elliott Bay!
