Mystic Journeys is a sailboat charter business operating out of Olympia, Washington, running trips aboard a seaworthy 42-foot sailing cutter based at Swantown Marina. Established in 2010 by Rick and Ada Kramer, the business was passed on in 2018 to Captain Scott and First Mate Connie, who have continued building on the success the Kramers created.

Trips range from a quick 2-hour outing to multi-day adventures, giving guests flexibility depending on how much time they have and what kind of experience they’re after. Popular options include an evening sunset cruise, a relaxed afternoon on Budd Inlet, or an evening aboard paired with dinner, with Captain Scott and First Mate Connie working to accommodate each group’s specific plans and interests rather than offering a single fixed itinerary. The business also hosts special-occasion cruises, including wedding ceremonies on the water and memorial services for honoring a loved one.

Guest reviews consistently highlight Scott and Connie as warm, gracious hosts who share a genuine passion for sailing, with First Mate Connie’s accordion playing and singing adding a memorable, personal touch to memorial and celebration cruises. Visitors from out of town looking for a Puget Sound experience without traveling all the way to Seattle frequently cite Mystic Journeys as an easy, worthwhile alternative with spectacular South Sound views.

For anyone in the Olympia area looking to sail Budd Inlet and the South Puget Sound, whether for a sunset cruise, a dinner sail, a special-occasion ceremony, or a multi-day adventure, Mystic Journeys offers a warm, personally guided sailboat charter experience out of Swantown Marina.
