What to do and see in Bainbridge Island, Washington (WA): The Best Boat Tours & Water Sports

August 16, 2021 Nobuko Falco

Although it's just 35 minutes by ferry from Seattle, Bainbridge Island is a totally different world. Travelers who enjoy the outdoors can hike, bike or walk in the Bloedel Reserve or Fort Ward State Park. The island feels rural, and local agriculture is a source of pride for residents (check out what's in season at the farmers' market). Bainbridge Island is also known for its strong visual and performing arts culture, and there's good shopping in Winslow.

Sail Bainbridge

From our hailing port of Bainbridge Island, we offer intimate, customizable, sailing experiences in Puget Sound and beyond aboard our classic sailing yacht. True comes from the design desk of world-renowned naval architect, John Alden, who designed over 1000 boats, including the majestic schooners of the 1930s and 40s. His work, without question, represents great American boat design, and our 44-foot Pearson Countess Ketch, True, is no exception. Ben first fell in love with sailing as a boy, aboard his grandfather’s daysailer on the East Coast of Florida. Years later, following a summer spent as crew on a competitive and successful racing yacht on Lake Michigan, the deal was sealed. He was hooked, and has spent a good part of his adult life trying to find his way onto boats. As owner, caretaker and captain (US Coast Guard Licensed Operator) of the beautiful sailing yacht, TRUE, there is little he loves more than being on the water and sharing the experience with others.
