Anacortes Yacht Charters is renowned as one of the world’s leading providers of “bareboat” charters. However, many of our clients seek the added luxury and ease of a “Skippered” charter experience. For those interested in this option, we offer two fantastic choices:

First, AYC can connect you with highly qualified skippers who are available to captain any of the vessels in our bareboat fleet. You can also choose our 7-Day Power or Sail Class in which the instructor skippers your charter and you get a hands-on experience to earn a boating certificate to skipper a bareboat charter. Browse our selection of Power Yachts and Sailing Yachts to explore the vessels available for your adventure.

Additionally, we collaborate with select luxury yachts throughout the Pacific Northwest that require a licensed skipper. If you’re seeking an all-inclusive experience, AYC can arrange a truly unforgettable voyage aboard a fully crewed yacht, providing you with the ultimate in relaxation, service, and luxury on the water.
