The Port of Tacoma offers free guided boat tours of Commencement Bay for you to see the working waterfront in action.
Join us for our Port of Tacoma Boat Tours on Sunday August 13, 2023! Bring your entire family to our most popular event of the year and discover fun facts about one of the busiest ports in North America.
The free one-hour boat tours will be offered at 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m., noon, 1:30 p.m., 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. The tour departs from the Foss Waterway Seaport Museum dock at 705 Dock St., Tacoma, WA 98402. Free tickets are available by reservation only. Registration is required for everyone in your party (including infants) to attend. Wheelchairs, strollers and service animals are welcome.
All attendees will be required to use a gangway to access the boat. The 4:30 p.m. tour time is recommended for those with mobility challenges. At that time, the tide will be high to accommodate a more level gangway.
Please arrive 30 minutes prior to departure time. Give yourself plenty of time to find free street parking. There is also a parking lot nearby for a small fee.
