Anacortes Yacht Charters is internationally recognized as a leader in bareboat yacht charters. That said, many guests prefer the added comfort, convenience, and peace of mind of a skippered or fully crewed experience. To meet those needs, we offer two exceptional options.
Skippered Charters from Our Bareboat Fleet
AYC can introduce you to highly qualified, professional skippers who are available to captain any vessel in our bareboat fleet. For those who want to build skills while cruising, our 7-Day Power or Sail Class pairs you with an instructor who skippers your charter while providing hands-on training. By the end of the week, you can earn the certification needed to skipper a bareboat charter on your own in the future. Explore our selection of Power Yachts and Sailing Yachts to find the perfect boat for your journey.
Fully Crewed Luxury Yacht Charters
We also partner with select luxury yachts throughout the Pacific Northwest that require a licensed skipper and professional crew. For guests seeking a truly all-inclusive experience, AYC can arrange a fully crewed charter complete with personalized service, expert navigation, and exceptional onboard comfort—allowing you to relax completely and enjoy an unforgettable voyage on the water.
