​Private Charters
Private Charter Options
We offer private charters for groups as small as one person up to over 100 people. Our large fleet offers the flexibility and range needed to explore the most remote reaches of the San Juans through the mainland of Washington.
We can pick up from any island in the San Juans, Anacortes, Bellingham, and beyond.
​
Rates are dependent on number of guests, departure location, length of charter, and more.
Island Hopping
Explore the far reaches of the San Juan's! From the shopping and restaurants in Friday Harbor to the far flung unpopulated islands of the State Parks there's tons to see and do while you hop from Island to Island exploring the best the San Juan's have to offer.
We pride ourselves on our high percentage of whale sightings during the peak season. We travel all around the San Juans and Vancouver Island. Come on a trip with us on our capable fleet of boats and view the whales with a knowledgeable crew.
Whale Watching
Lighthouse Tour
Patos Island, Turn Point, Cattle Point, Lime Kiln, and more are some of our favorite historic lighthouses, that still operates today as a navigational beacon to ships in the Sailish Sea. A tour focused on the local history instead of wildlife is a great way to experience the best of the area.
Corporate Events
Large group whale watches, island hopping, adventure tours, or transport are our specialty. With boats available for comfortable cruising to sporty adventures there's a perfect fit for your group.
Bird Watching
Enjoy a few hours in search of birds and wildlife in obscure coves and backwaters of the San Juan Islands. See Eagles, Falcons, Ducks, Grebbes, Oystercatchers, Gulls, Auklets, and more!
Wedding Celebrations
Wedding celebrations are better on the water. Come celebrate with us before or after your ceremony!
We can get your group from the mainland to the farther reaches of the San Juan Island chain. Each charter is customized for your groups needs, destination, and location. Contact us today for rates and availability.
Water Taxi Services
Memorials
We are happy to assist with organizing a memorial service with remembrances onboard for groups of 1 to 100. A loving way to honor those who love the water.
