Adventure awaits
The San Juan Islands and Gulf Islands are some of the most popular cruising areas in the world.
What is it that draws people to these islands? A big reason is because the islands are both remote and accessible at the same time. A short drive from Seattle or Vancouver puts you in Anacortes, Washington, the “Gateway to the San Juan Islands.” From there, the San Juan Islands start a mere 15 miles away.
Your Cruise. Your Choice.
Once in the islands, you’ll find both quaint communities and hidden hideaways, all surrounded by a calm inland sea. Seemingly endless miles of coastline and over 100 islands give you plenty of options for exploring and relaxing. Drop anchor in a quiet cove, or tie up at one of the island marinas – it’s your choice when you charter!
Anacortes Yacht Charters has provided San Juan Islands yacht charters for 45 years. We have an outstanding selection of motor yachts and sailboats for exploring the Northwest. Our experience and fleet mean we can match you with the perfect boat for a trip of lifetime.

Yacht Charter
A private yacht charter is your ticket to a Pacific Northwest vacation of a lifetime. Choose to bareboat charter a powerboat or sailboat for a hands-on adventure. Or, hire a skipper for a more guided experience. A few of our larger boats require a crew and are shown on the crewed yacht page.
Yacht Ownership
If you own a boat, or are pondering a purchase, consider placing your boat into charter service. This a great option to help offset the cost of ownership and earn real tax advantages, Use our in-house service department for year-round care of your boat. Arrange time on your boat for yourself as desired.
