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!
