Pacific Northwest San Juan Islands

The San Juan Islands has lured adventurous mariners seeking a special place, long before Spanish and English sailors explored this vast myrid of islands.

The San Juan Islands are comprised of hundreds of islands ranging from the small rocky outcrops to large forest-clad and mountainous masses.

The waters are rich with seafood salmon, rockfish, scallops, mussels and clams. Wildlife abounds on land and sea. You will encounter tiny squirrels, deer and migratory birds as you are to see seals, sea lions and whales.

The weather is mild year round summer is mostly sunny with temperatures ranging from the low 70’s to the low 80’s. Rainfall can be as little as 20 percent as much of the cruising areas of the Pacific Northwest are in the “rain shadow” of high mountains the block many of the weather systems that come across the Pacific Ocean.

With so many islands and places to experience it is not possible to see everything in week long yacht charter, although we offer this sample itinerary for your review.
