Pacific Northwest Charter Cruising

Private Charter Yacht Vacation in the Pacific Northwest

Covering an expansive area with calm and protected waters, the Pacific Northwest serves as an ideal backdrop for a private yacht charter vacation. The sheltered waterways provide endless miles of calm and protected cruising while hundreds of inlets and coves abound with marine wildlife offer stunning and entertaining anchorages.

Among the variety of itineraries that a Pacific Northwest yacht charter offers, the San Juan Islands are among the most popular destinations. The San Juan Islands are an archipelago consisting of 172 islands located in the northwest corner of Washington state. Out of the 172 islands, Orcas Island and Lopez Island are the most populous and host the majority of lodging and dining options as well as tourism activities. Other itineraries include Desolation Sound, Sunshine Coast and Gulf Islands.
