Tour the Boats

Step Aboard & Explore!

One of the true highlights of the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival is the chance to tour an incredible fleet of beautifully crafted boats. Get up close to stunning craftsmanship, step aboard, and chat with the passionate owners who bring these vessels to life. Each boat has a story—come see what makes them special! Public tours are open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM, so don’t miss your chance to explore these floating masterpieces. 
Watch your step- Board vessels at your own risk

Protocol for boarding boats:

  • Please don’t carry open food or drink onboard.
  • Always ask before boarding a boat: “Permission to come aboard” is tradition, but you can also just say, “Can I come aboard?” or “Is it ok for me to come on?”
  • If there is a sign asking you to take off your shoes before boarding, please do.
  • Say hi and thank the owners!
