Boat Tours

Registration is now open for our 2019 Port of Tacoma Boat Tours on Sunday, July 28, 2019. 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 and strollers 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.

Meanwhile, see more photos from last year's tours.
