Anacortes Yacht Charters is internationally recognized as a leader in bareboat yacht charters. At the same time, we understand that many guests prefer the added comfort, convenience, and peace of mind that comes with a skippered or fully crewed experience.
Skippered Charters
To meet those needs, we can connect you with highly qualified, professional skippers available to captain any vessel in our bareboat fleet. Enjoy all the freedom and flexibility of a private yacht charter while leaving navigation, docking, and route planning in the hands of an experienced captain.
7-Day Power or Sail Classes
For those looking to build confidence and skills while cruising, our 7-Day Power or Sail Classes offer a hands-on learning experience. You’ll be paired with a certified instructor who serves as your skipper throughout the charter, providing practical, real-world training along the way. By the end of the week, you can earn the certification required to skipper a bareboat charter on your own in the future.

Skippered charters aboard this yacht require a professional Captain. You may also choose to add a second crewmember, who can serve as a Mate, a Chef, or a combination of both. If a second crewmember is not added, at least one member of your party must be able to assist as a deckhand during docking or as needed. Please contact us for crew options, availability, and pricing details. As a bareboat charter, a skipper agreement is required whenever a hired skipper is on board—whether for full-time skippers, charter bundles, or Cruise ‘n Learn experiences. Guests retain care, custody, and control of the vessel at all times, and the agreement ensures responsibilities are clearly defined.
