Evening departures track the light, so timing shifts through the season: earlier in spring and fall, later around midsummer. Summer gives the longest golden-hour stretch on the water, and clear nights show Rainier behind the skyline.
Most of these boats leave from the downtown waterfront piers, with Pier 54, Pier 55 and Pier 56 the common spots, and some sailing departures from Bell Harbor Marina at Pier 66. Check the live booking page for the exact dock on your date.
