Escape the ordinary with a San Juan Islands yacht charter vacation.

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 remote but 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 quaint both communities and hidden hideaway, 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!

Latest reviews​.

"The camaraderie between these two sailors was so palpable and fun to be around, and both Scott and Todd are so mellow and easy going— we just laughed and smiled and talked about a million things and loved the time. The freedom to go where we wanted, to kayak, to sail!, to hang out on the boat, whatever we chose, made the adventure so unstructured and open.

It is hard also to find sufficient praise for the food. Todd’s food is the stuff of legends. It was beyond delicious, and so carefully crafted to our tastes!

I think anyone who likes adventure, loves sailing, and wants to be happy for six days should join Captain Scott and Todd, soon - this season when it’s all available and happening! - and call themselves blessed. A once in a lifetime experience, except I hope not, as we plan to return!"

Donelle Morgan

"Wonderful hosts. Great sailing. The food was excellent and so personalized. The boat is very comfortable. Exceeded our expectations."

Susan J. Smith

"After scheduling a five day sailing cruise with North West Sailing Adventures, I anticipated beautiful scenery, amazing wildlife, and incredible waterways. What I did not anticipate is the incredible professionalism, kindness and dedication of our amazing crew, Captain Scott and First Mate/Chef Todd. They were so knowledgeable of the area, and made every effort to accommodate our every wish or request. The meals were delicious, beautifully plated, as well as healthy, and the humorous banter between the crew members only added to the fun and memories of an amazing adventure!

I can say, without a doubt, that this sailing trip to the San Juan Islands with NW Sailing Adventures was, without question, one of the best vacations ever!  Thank you, Captain Scott and First Mate Todd for providing us with such a memorable adventure.  And please save us a slot next season, we will be back!”

Mae Pierini - Nipomo, CA

Our trip was a great success. We are sailors and Scott is the most knowledgeable sailor we have met. Moreover the navigation and radar equipment is top grade enabling motoring in a morning of deep fog with ease. We sailed for 4 nights (5 days) and winds enabled us to sail without motor assistance for many hours a day. The islands are lovely and a big surprise was the looming, snow capped Mt Baker in the background on several occasions. Seals were abundant and on one occasion we saw half a dozen sea lions sunning themselves on a nearby rock. Tod the mate was also the cook who trained for 2 years in a cooking school. The food was excellent and every effort was made--successfully--to meet the requests we had submitted prior to the cruise. We enthusiastically recommend this cruise company.

San Juan Islands Sailing Charters and Cruises

We provide yacht and crew. you relax and enjoy., the art of slow travel.

Something special happens when we cast off the dock lines and head out into the San Juan Islands on a sailing charter. We become aware of the rhythm of the tides, the wind filling the sails, the salty sea air, and the porpoise following in our wake. The hidden coves and diverse marine life of the San Juans beckon us to make discoveries and submerge ourselves in its delightfully relaxed pace.

So much of the world passes by without our being able to see, touch, or feel it. A sailing charter through the San Juan islands allows us to take a moment to slow down and experience it for ourselves.

We have been perfecting the art of “slow travel” for over 25 years. Our new 55′ sailboat Northwind , offers a luxury yacht charter experience for up to six guests in private staterooms with ensuite baths. Each one of our San Juan Sailing Charters and Inside Passage cruises are one of a kind, designed for your group from the ground up. From your preferences on food and drink , to where we go and what we see and do, the result is a perfect blending of islands, yacht, crew, and cuisine. It’s your perfect vacation, Sailing the San Juan Islands in style.

 This is what a carefree sailing vacation is all about

Sailing the san juan islands.

Captains Jette & Jon Baker, with TailR

A fully crewed sailing charter with Sail the San Juans is a world away from any vacation experience you probably have ever had. A sailboat charter aboard Northwind  will open a door to see and experience the more remote islands and coves that are not easily accessible to most people.

At the same time, sailing yachts are in a unique position to be less intrusive to marine mammals which helps encourage encounters with Orca, seals and porpoise.

A sailboat charter with Sail the San Juans is a first class experience, from our impeccable yacht and crew to your private chef’s menu built around your preferences.

Join us to explore over 200 forested islands, help trim the sails on Northwind, or just relax while you savor gourmet fare , and great hiking and kayaking through protected bays and inlets.

This is the art of slow travel.

San Juan Islands, Washington

The San Juan Islands include 172 named islands and reefs off the coast of Washington State. Departing from Anacortes, the Washington State Ferries serve Orcas Island, Lopez Island, and San Juan Island. Each island offers a unique opportunity for adventure. Activities include sailing, hiking, biking, kayaking, and enjoying the simple rustic beauty of the San Juan Islands.

The San Juan Islands enjoy a moderate year-round climate. Winters experience an average temperature of 40 degrees F, while summers enjoy a glorious average of 70 degrees F. Sailing with us in the San Juan Islands offers a chance to spot humpback whales, orcas, and minke whales, and see flower-filled meadows, mountain-framed horizons, hidden coves, and emerald waters. The beauty of this area casts a spell hard to undo.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of wildlife might i see.

The coastlines we sail are rich with life. Depending on the time of year, sea mammals you might see include Orca, Humpback and Minke Whales, Harbor Porpoise, Dahl’s Porpoise, White-sided Dolphins, Sea Otters, River Otters, Harbor Seals, and Sea Lions.

On land you have the opportunity to see Minks, Otters, Black-tailed Deer, Raccoons, and imported exotic wildlife. As we journey northward it becomes increasingly likely to find coastal Wolves, Mountain Goats, Black Bears, Grizzlies, and the White Kermode, or “Spirit” Bear.

There are too many feathered friends to list. The Bald Eagle is a daily visitor. Other favorites of ours include Oyster Catchers, Marbled Murrelettes, Scoters, and Great Blue Herons. For a truly world class natural experience the old-growth forests of northern B.C.’s Great Bear Rainforest house an especially rich and diverse community of creatures. Our unobtrusive electric powered dingy allows us the unique advantage of near silence while viewing and photographing wildlife.

What sort of clothes should I bring?

It’s best to be prepared for a temperature range of 55° to 80° F. When sailing, even on a warm summer day, the breeze experienced on deck when heading up wind can elicit the need for cozier clothing. The best dress for sailing is layers. For northern tours, close to the skin, wear a moisture wicking layer, then an insulative layer (fleece, wool...), and an outer wind/water resistant layer. Waterproof shoes or rubber boots are an advantage on deck and for getting to and exploring shorelines and estuaries. Shorts and a bathing suit are great for a summer swim or hot spring soak. For life below decks bring casual and comfortable clothing. Don’t forget your favorite pair of slippers! We’ll send you a detailed list of what to bring when you submit your reservation.

What is the weather like?

The San Juan and Gulf Islands are known for their sunny summer days. We receive about half the rain of Seattle due to the rainshadow of the Olympics and Vancouver Island mountain ranges. Temperatures range from 55°-80° F in the spring, summer, and fall, and average 40°-50° F in the winter months. The Great Bear Rainforest of northern B.C. produces more variable weather. It’s not called a rain forest for nothing! Temperatures are usually in the 60s throughout our sailing season there. You will likely encounter a mix of sunshine with occasional rain during your trip, but you will stay warm and dry in our roomy pilothouse.

What time of year should I sail with you?

It depends on what you are looking for. April and May display an incredible abundance of spring flowers. Some areas are particularly spectacular with color at this time. The sunniest and warmest months of the year are July, August, and September. This is the best time of year to see the Great Bear Rainforest. October through mid-June offers the best sailing wind and the most quiet privacy in anchorages. We have had incredible trips in January! With our heating systems and all-weather pilothouse this time of year can be a magically peaceful and comfortable experience.

What if I get seasick?

Nearly all of the waters we sail in are well protected. Most people who are concerned about seasickness are pleasantly surprised that its not an issue for them on our trips. However, some of our trips involve making brief passages that can occasionally get rough enough to elicit this unfortunate gastronomic state. We recommend you speak with your doctor or pharmacist regarding appropriate motion sickness medication. In our experience for mild queasiness, the acupressure wrist bands, ginger tea or crystallized ginger (which we have on board), and staying above decks can be of great help. The good news is that after we’ve finished a rough passage, the seasickness disappears!

Are children welcome on your charters?

Absolutely! We love having children on board. It can be a hugely educational experience for them. There are many activities to keep them occupied, and enough new and exiting experiences to keep them talking about their trip for a long time. We do, however, prefer that if your child is younger that 10 that the guest list is filled by your party alone.

What is a “crewed” charter?

It’s a cruise that includes a captain and crew/chef who take care of all shipboard duties including safe navigation, local knowledge of choice attractions, and meals and cleaning. You can do as much or as little as you like. We are at your service!

Do I need to be in good shape?

No. The level of activity varies depending on the trip. However, anyone who can get in and out of the dingy and go for short walks will do fine. We have had mobility-impaired guests having wonderful cruises with us without ever leaving the boat! There are many beautiful things to see right from the cabin and deck!

What do your trips include?

All onboard meals, including select wines with most dinners. On some trips you will cover one dinner ashore. Your heated cabin includes a bed made with sheets, pillows, comforters, and blankets. Towels, cloths, shampoo, and soap are also complimentary. You are welcome to use the inflatable, kayak, and all fishing, crabbing, and shrimping gear. If you prefer to overnight at a place with moorage fees, you are responsible for them, as well as any fishing licenses, and most off boat tours.

How often do we get off the boat?

Rainforest we typically take the dinghy up a pristine river and go for a short walk, or explore a remote beach, or abandoned native village. In the San Juans and Gulf Islands many forest trails, beaches, and country roads await the happy wanderer.

What can I expect to learn?

Opportunities for education abound. Your skipper is a trained naturalist, and enjoys pointing out a special plant, and its traditional uses, or identifying an animal and explaining its habits. Local history and native culture are other subjects you'll learn about. The captain also enjoys teaching sailing to anyone interested. Our trips in the Great Bear and the Inside Passage incorporate Native guides who will lead you through abandoned village sites, and enthrall with tales of battles, ancient customs, and the history of the once mighty Kwakwak’wakw. Or take part in a traditional open fire salmon bake and learn of the rich past of the Heiltsuk. The boat makes a great platform for seminars and workshops. We also offer instructor-led cruises in subjects such as meditation, photography, and whale observation. Please see charter options. If you are an instructor interested in leading an art cruise feel free to contact us.

What areas do you charter in?

Our scheduled tours focus in the San Juans April through July, with one trip up the Inside Passage/Southern Great Bear Rainforest in early August, mid August to mid September in the Northern Great Bear Rainforest of the northern B.C. coast, and one trip down the Inside Passage/Southern Great Bear Rainforest in mid September. Please see our schedule. Any time you don’t see a scheduled trip booked the boat is open and available, so don’t hesitate to inquire.

What if I'm a solo traveler who prefers my own stateroom?

All of our rooms are double occupancy (View ship schematic), and allow for a maximum of six guests. If you prefer a private stateroom we will try to accommodate you. There will be an additional 50% fee if the tour is otherwise full.

Can you take more than six passengers?

By Coast Guard regulation, we can take up to six guests. On our instructional cruises, and with workshops and seminars, we can bring an instructor in addition to the six guests.

Do I need to know how to sail?

No. The captain and crew are perfectly capable of taking care of all sailing. However, you are welcome to participate at any time for your own enjoyment. The captain is a lifetime sailor, and would love to help you with your sailing skills. By the end of the trip you may just be ready for the America’s Cup!

Dear Captain Hanna, aka Jennifer, You and your team are about to get underway for a final trip. Rather than write a more formal letter, I offer this quick email. Besides, my letters usually look more like a prescription for penicillin, given my handwriting. We had a wonderful time, from your exuberant reception to our sad departure. You and your staff worked so hard to assure our every comfort and pleasure. Jamal was flawless, “shipshape”, and so, so comfortable. Kristen’s efforts to please us, especially given some of dietary restrictions, was noteworthy and extraordinarily tasteful. She is remarkable. And Cloe and Zane: always about the yacht assuring that we were without need. And such nice, nice individuals. And we loved the “uniforms”. And, then there was you. I have been about yachts for 50 years; yes, 50. I have been aboard 10 chartered yachts with captains and crew. I know expertise. You are beyond remarkable. We felt very safe and enjoyed seeing you “in action”. Then there was your hospitality. Charming. Quite charming. And, yes, we were sad to leave. All to say, we all had a marvelous time. I speak for everyone, even Gordon. And Joanne and I look forward to returning, likely with family, (when I able to gain consensus, somewhat like gaining world peace). Thank you. Thank you. You and your crew: lovely and handsome, professional, personable, attentive, and sensitive.

Jennifer Now that I’m back in my hectic and demanding world of lawyer, mediator and ministerial issues, it makes me feel even more thankful for the wonderful time we had with you and your terrific crew. You are all so good at what you do that you create an atmosphere on Jamal that anyone can truly enjoy. As I’ve said, God has given you such magnificent gifts to use in God’s service and that is exactly what you do. I thank you for your giving of those gifts to me, my wife and my good friends. I’m looking forward to being blessed with another magnificent experience next year. May God’s blessings come to you, Bailey and Kristen.

Good Morning, We all made it home with flight delays, locked baggage compartments and dead car batteries, but most of all we miss you and the girls! You made our trip the best we have ever experienced and while exchanging e-mails this morning we all want to go back and see you, Misty, Lena and Campbell! Words can’t express our gratitude or do justice to the great time we had on the cruise, but as I said when we talked on the bridge, the people of the Jamal are absolutely the best we could have ever hoped for…… We can’t wait for you to visit us! Safe travels, we love you all!

Hi Jim, I can’t begin to tell you how much fun everyone had on the charter. I told Jennifer that after seeing some of the photos, you probably wished you were on the charter, too! The weather was incredible, the crew was over the top in service & professional skills and Jamal was a real treat. You certainly did a great job on the design. Sorry it didn’t work to meet you. It would have been a real pleasure. You must be very proud of Jennifer, she is such a professional. You got a real winner in Kari. Jennifer & Lenore were very pleasantly surprised at how well she performed and how well she fit in with everyone. Each day I would think it couldn’t get any better, but it did.I’ll probably plan on this again next year.Have a fun time yourself this week. All the best and thanks again.

Of all the journeys I have taken, this one has to be one of the best! A memorable time spent in the company of old and new friends. Jim, you are a great skipper and a most interesting man! We enjoyed your thought provoking questions at dinner and felt better for the laughter many of them provided! Sally, you are a wonder! As a chef, you excel but as a person, you are unmated. What a lot we learned from you! We hope you have a wonderful summer of cruising. We will thank of you often and wish we were sharing the moment with you. Thank you so much! Love,

Jim thanks for the opportunity to cruise with you. There is much to remember and remember I will. From the bears and whales, to the dolphins and eagles, to quiet bays and a pod of Orcas, this was simply a great trip. Not one day of rain and only about 4 hours of rough seas, how did you do it? It was an added bonus to help you and Sally celebrate your birthday. Thanks for letting us play with all the toys and drive the boat around logs. Wishing you a summer of sunshine and smooth seas, and love and laughter as we have known these past 10 days. Thanks,

Dear Jim, Fran & Sally, We have had a most fantastic cruise with a most generous Captain. Sally in the galley had the most satisfying food of any cruise I have been on. The sea lions and seals were great to watch and the whales put on a fine show, with their fluking and blowing. The scenery was awesome. The sailing was smooth. I will never go on a large cruise ship again. This is the only way to go on a vacation.

Dear Jennifer, Fran & Sally, This was the best vacation! So relaxing and beautiful! Thank you for everything and especially teaching me the “Jamaican” wave!

Jon, Jim, Sally, Wally, & Frani Wani, What a wonderful wonderful holiday and an adventure beyond imagination. Every day something new and fun.

Den Jen, Mo, and Sally, Theres nothing I could write that would express how truly wonderful this trip on Jamal has been.

Also, special thanks to Sally for forever raising our expectations of great food! I hope we all meet again! Thanks for sharing your love of Jamal and the Pacific NW with us!

Well, this is Day 5 for my week long adventure on the Jamal. Grandpa & Grandma will still be with all of you for a week after we leave. Trent & I, (newlyweds), have had the most spectacular time with all of you. Our crew, Captain Jen, Kathy (Kiki) & Sally Wally. You have made this trip a dream come true for us. We came here to relax before our big day, & we have definitely accomplished that. It was above & beyond anything we could have imagined! Alaska is beautiful & breath-taking, but not half as beautiful & breath-taking as you three ladies. The hospitality, amazing, the food, outstanding, the memories, forever! The generosity of our Captain, even though she was on a schedule, was perfect. She knew how badly I, (Allie), wanted to see whales. She found them & took the time out for us to enjoy them. I shall never forget her for that; I will never forget any of the crew. They will be forever in our hearts and I truly wish they could be at our wedding. Thank you so much for your kindnesses. Jen and Dont ever change! Your bubbly nature is infectious! I love it! Kathy (Kiki) and Great child-naming skills. Great taste! Love ya! Sally Wally and We love you! You are the gentlest, sweetest woman we have ever met! All of you will be forever remember, forever loved!

Sensational sights of whales, glaciers, and bears have made this voyage on the Jamal the most fantastic way to see Alaska. Taking those narrow passages and hearing the thunderous crack of the glaciers remains for me the highlight of the trip. Thanks to you, Jennifer, we have seen as much of Alaska as possible in a short time. You took us to waterfalls, sea lions, warm & hot springs and superbly maneuvered the boat to sight whales. Travel in tandem with DK, Stacy and Megan proved to be fortuitous, with them some of our group went fishing and even saw bears in action. And, Jen, your crew of Sally, Sally Jo, and Cathy went out of their way at all times to make us extremely comfortable, well fed, and entertained. You have all enriched my life and I will miss you. Alaska will be here if we ever decide to return, but we would be lacking something if we didnt see you again.

Sally, Jen, Sally-Jo (Cathy) & Cathy (Kiki) We Love you ladies and and had an absolutely awesome time! Highlights of course were: Sallys incredible meals, whale-watching, kayaking, glacier watching & just being here! You ladies are the BEST and we love you all!

Pacific Shadow

82' yacht charter in the pacific northwest.

  

Pacific Shadow , a luxury yacht built in 1982, has been extensively retrofitted for today’s cruising needs. Professionally decorated and lovingly maintained, she is the perfect yacht for up to 4 couples, large groups or families to cruise in comfort in the PNW. She is built on a commercial deep-v hull with stabilizers and is extremely comfortable both at sea and at anchor. She has bright staterooms (with more hot showers than most homes!) and large, beautiful entertaining areas on both the main and top decks. On drizzly Northwest days, everyone in your group can find a covered, enclosed, quiet area to read, play cards or make cocktails. When the clouds part, there are plenty of areas to enjoy the warm sunshine or be in the shade while still enjoying the breeze.  Speaking of weather, zoned heating and air conditioning throughout the main and stateroom levels. Satellite TV on the fly bridge, in the salon and hidden in the Owners’ Stateroom mean never missing a game or breaking news. The cellular wifi on board works in most of the Gulf and San Juan Islands so you can stay connected with friends - sending updates on your dream vacation.

Boating in the Pacific Northwest

The San Juan Islands of Washington and Gulf Islands of British Columbia provide some of the most beautiful boating in the world.  The beautiful water, soaring mountains and abundant wildlife make this an area unparalleled for boat charter.  Fishing, crabbing, kayaking, biking, wine tasting, hiking - if you love to do it, it can probably be found in the waters and communities of these island paradises.  You can visit the islands by ferry, but in your own yacht, you will have a private oasis from which to experience this once in a lifetime vacation. 

If you are more adventurous, take her out for a couple of weeks or more and venture north to the Princess Louisa Inlet or the Queen Charlotte Islands of BC.  Or take the whole summer and head to Alaska!

The Details

Pacific Shadow is available for crewed charter.  Perfect for 4 couples or 2 -3 families, she sleeps 11 guest comfortably.  She has 5 staterooms (4 guest and 1 for the crew) all with ensuite heads (bathrooms for you landlubbers) and a day head (or powder room) on the main level.  

She also includes a 13' RIB dinghy with a chart plotter/fish finder, crab rings and fishing gear.  Back on board, there are two bars where you can drown your sorrows if you don't catch anything.  

Charter is handled through the Northwest's premier chartering company.  They can arrange everything from crew to food.

Private VIP Yacht Charters Seattle Washington.

DESTINATIONS:

LAKE UNION:

Get a up close look at the City of Seattle during the day the night or both. From the Space Needle to UW Stadium and everything in between, you can see these architectural works of art from a perspective that few have the opportunity to absorb. Stop in at the ever popular Pike Place Market or the Seattle Art Museum during the day without giving a second thought to traffic. Dine in on the yacht with an on board chef or opt out to one of the many 4-Star and 4.5-Star rated restaurants and bars with docks available for boarding along the lake.

LAKE WASHINGTON:

Because of its long days and humid free cool temperatures in the summer, Seattle makes for a great yachting destination. Music, art, culture and a ridiculous amount of places to dine can keep one busy cruising around while never having a doubt that they can't possibly take it all in with a one day charter. For yachting enthusiast, a well planned itinerary is not a suggestion but a necessity when chartering a vessel in the waters of Seattle.

THE SAN JUAN ISLANDS:

The Orca Whales that reside in the waters of the San Juan Islands are world-renowned as are the islands and have been selected as one of the Top 5 Islands in both Canada and the U.S. by Travel & Leisure Magazine. While many choose to go by sailboat, the overwhelming choice is by luxury yacht. Perhaps for the privacy, exclusivity and complete control over where you drop anchor are among just a few of the reasons why those who can, do. To go to San Juan and back to Seattle in a day is achievable by yacht, but to experience the true beauty of the island we recommend an overnight. Upon arriving at San Juan, there is a bucket list of possibilities from shopping, where to dine, hiking, biking the island, lying out at Eagle Cove Beach or taking in a spa treatment, and there is no need to worry too much about rain since the islands are home to 250 days of sun annually. With so much to do, there can't possibly be enough time to do it all in a day, but a day is just enough time to take in the views and the ambiance of what the San Juan's have to offer. The lodging is absolutely wonderful on the islands but not a necessity when arriving by yacht as most luxury yachts come with accommodations fit for a king.

Discover the luxury of a private retreat. Explore the beauty of British Columbia on a crewed yacht charter. From the enriched coast lines to the quiet inlets, let the beauty of the Pacific Northwest take you for a ride! Take a trip aboard through the Pacific Northwest's most luxurious Yachts available today for charter. Charter for as little as a 4 hour Harbour Cruise or Evening events and entertaining, to multi week cruising with family or friends to those "hard to get to" places that only privileged few will ever experience.

Seafair On a Yacht Seattle

ENJOYING SEAFAIR ON A YACHT IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO!

You can't beat the views. It's the only way to be close to all the action without having to camp out before the Seafair festivities begin in order to save a space to place your blankets and lawn chairs, knowing full well it will get encroached upon as the crowds pile in. Our Seafair Air Show Logboom cruise allows guests to be in the center of all the action with front-row views of the Unlimited Hydroplane races and the Boeing Seafair Air show. A relaxing and fun atmosphere. No need to stress about parking, setting up hours before, or packing a cooler. We have you covered at Day Yacht Charters Seattle. It's an all-inclusive experience, including a cruise, delicious food, drinks for purchase, and views of the Seafair festivities. All you have to do is bring yourself, make sure your phone is charged (for photos), and maybe bring a little sunscreen too.

The Pacific Northwest is a region in western North America bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the west and, loosely, by the Rocky Mountains on the east. Though no universally agreed upon boundary exists, a common conception includes the U.S. states of Oregon, Washington, and the Canadian province of British Columbia. Broader conceptions reach north into Alaska and Yukon, south into the coastal and mountainous regions of Northern California, and east into Idaho and western Montana, and western Wyoming to the Continental Divide. Narrower conceptions may be limited to the Northwestern U.S. or to the coastal areas west of the Cascade and Coast mountains.  The Northwest Coast is the coastal regions of the Pacific Northwest and the Northwest Plateau (also commonly known as "The Interior" in British Columbia and the Inland Empire in the United States) is the inland regions. A yacht charter vacation in this region usually includes the areas surrounding the Puget Sound, the second largest estuary in the USA with over 2300 miles of coastline and the San Juan Islands. 

Starting at South Lake Union in the heart of Seattle, charters usually cruise Lake Union and through the Montlake Cut, while bridges open for our tall masts. Then sail wherever the winds take you on Lake Washington until returning to Seattle's skyline framed by snow covered mountains.

On your way, check out the houseboats made famous by Sleepless in Seattle, or bald eagles nesting on the tree-lined shore. An ideal way to enjoy Seattle's evergreen wonderland away from the bustle of city streets.

Montlake Cut:  The Montlake Cut is the easternmost section of the Lake Washington Ship Canal, which passes through the city of Seattle, linking Lake Washington to Puget Sound. It is approximately 2,500 feet (760 m) long and 350 feet (110 m) wide. The center channel is 100 feet (30 m) wide and 30 feet (9.1 m) deep. The path along the cut was designated a National Recreation Trail as Montlake Cut National Waterside in 1971.[1]

The Cut provides a connection between Union Bay, part of Lake Washington, to the east and Portage Bay, an arm of Lake Union, to the west. It is spanned by the Montlake Bridge, a bascule drawbridge carrying Montlake Boulevard (State Route 513). Most of the land on the north shore of the Cut is occupied by the University of Washington, its medical school to the west and its stadium parking lot to the east; residences and a recreational trail occupy the south bank, which is part of the Montlake neighborhood. It is the site of the annual Windermere Cup crew regatta and the Seattle Yacht Club's Opening Day Boat Parade, both of which take place on the first Saturday in May. Puget Sound Boat Rental:  The Puget Sound region is home to the majority of Washington State citizens who live in the bustling cities and suburbs that extend north to south from Stanwood to Olympia. Most Puget Sound communities lie on either side of the north-south Interstate 5 corridor that serves as the major traffic thoroughfare of the state.

Puget Sound itself is a body of water lying east of Admiralty Inlet, through which ocean waters reach inland some 50 miles from the Pacific Coast to provide all-weather ports for ocean-going ships at Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia. The waterway is a complex and intricate system of channels, inlets, estuaries, embayments and islands.

Ballard Locks:   Tourists and locals enjoy watching the parade of yachts, sailboats, motorboats, barges and tugs passing through as the locks' water levels are adjusted to allow for safe passage between the salt water and the fresh water of the ship canal. Tillicum Village:  Tillicum Village is a Puget Sound area visitor attraction located on Blake Island just off the shore of Seattle, WA. It is believed that this attraction dates to the time period immediately preceding the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. Madison Park:  Madison Park is a neighborhood in east central Seattle, Washington, USA, named after the city park at the foot of E. Madison Street on the Lake Washington shore Estates on Mercer Island:  Mercer Island Estates is the largest South End neighborhood located just south of the QFC shopping center and Mercer Island Country Club. This planned community was built in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and includes homes in a variety of styles, including mid-century modern, traditional, and Northwest contemporary. With wide streets and plenty of cul-de-sacs, this neighborhood is popular with families, who also enjoy Wildwood Park and its proximity to the nearby South End shopping center.

Fremont Cut:  The Fremont Cut is a body of water that forms part of the Lake Washington Ship Canal, which passes through the U.S. city of Seattle and links Lake Washington to Puget Sound. The Fremont Cut connects Lake Union to the east with Salmon Bay to the west. It is 5,800 feet (1,800 m) long and 270 feet (82 m) wide. The center channel is 100 feet (30 m) wide and 30 feet (9.1 m) deep.

The Fremont Cut is spanned by the Fremont Bridge, a bascule drawbridge that connects the neighborhoods of Fremont and Queen Anne via Fremont Avenue North. A campus of Adobe Systems and the headquarters for Tableau Software are located at the north-eastern quadrant of this intersection of bridge and canal, and an office of Google is located on the north-western quadrant. Meydenbauer Bay in Bellevue:  The Bellevue Marina lies between the foot of 99th Avenue Northeast and 100th Avenue Southeast on the south side of downtown Bellevue. Depending upon the pier, the marina may be accessed from either street. From Interstate 405, take the NE 8th Street exit west. Turn left on Bellevue Way Southeast. Turn right on Main Street and proceed until reaching either the 100th Avenue Southeast or 99th Avenue Northeast intersections (Please note that Main Street turns into Lake Washington Boulevard Northeast at the 100th Avenue Southeast intersection.) Estate with Full T-Rex skeleton inside: Nathan Myhrvold became fascinated with dinosaurs and visited the filming of the “Jurassic Park” sequel in 1996 and met the film’s consultant and world-leading paleontologist, Jack Horner. Horner convinced Nathan to use some of his Microsoft multimillions to fund a dinosaur bone digging foundation. His foundation has recovered more tyrannosaurus rex skeletons than the total previously found by everyone else. He has given most of them to museums including the Smithsonian. In-side the big rounded windows of his living room he has one of the t-rex skeletons he helped dig up.

Bill Gates House: Originally purchasing the lakefront property for $2 million in 1988, Gates has done everything in his power to ensure his dream home doesn't have a negative impact on the environment. Built into a hill as part of its earth-sheltered design, Gates was concerned about potential runoff from the walls of the massive estate. To combat the problem, he collaborated with the two architectural firms who designed the home to create an artificial stream on the property to catch the runoff. And, in true Gates fashion, he took the design up a notch and has the stream stocked with salmon and trout giving even the wildlife a fisheye view of the most expensive home in America.

Fisherman's Terminal –  Fishermen's Terminal is a dock for Seattle, Washington's commercial fishing fleet, on Salmon Bay in the Interbay neighborhood, east of the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks and immediately west of the Ballard Bridge.

Hunts Point & City of Kirkland:   Incorporated in 1955, the Town of Hunts Point is located on the eastern shore of Lake Washington just north of the SR520 bridge. Once a camping ground for the Sammamish Indian tribe, this residential community of single-family residences is home to just under 500 residents. Hunts Point is one of the smallest municipalities in Western Washington, yet its bucolic feel and proximity to Seattle and the Eastside help make it a highly desirable place to live. Seattle Skyline: From 1903 to 1904, Seattle's tallest building and first steel-framed skyscraper is constructed. The Alaska Building, located at the southeast corner of 2nd Avenue and Cherry Street, rises 14 stories

husky stadium:  Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium is an outdoor football stadium on the campus of the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington, United States.

Testimonials

“I had a fantastic experience on Amelia cruises. The crew was professional and the sailing top notch. We had a wonderful time out on the water and would definitely sail with them again!” -Katie Richwine “My husband and I spent a fabulous day out on Puget Sound aboard the amazing catamaran, Amelia. If you are looking for an outing for your family, a business event, or just a great cruise with great company, an expert skipper, and stunning boat, this is it!” -Susan Jostrom "Just Perfect! The sailing, the boat, the views, and the professional handling of the whole cruise was everything I hoped it would be. What a beautiful area to visit. No trip to Seattle is complete without some time on the water. Thank you Amelia Charters! We hope to see you again next year!" -Nancy Schwartz

Q: Is food provided?

A: Light snacks, soft drinks, coffee, tea, and bottled water are provided by Sailing Caprice. If you would like to bring your own food, you are more than welcome to do so. We even have a grill! If you’re interested in having the trip catered, we have partnered with several of the best restaurants in Seattle to provide you and your guests with a host of extraordinary dining options on ‘Amelia’.

Q: What should I wear?

A: For your comfort, we recommend you wear layered clothing and soft soled shoes. Seattle can be cool and windy in the spring, fall and winter, and warmer and less windy in the summer. However, the temperatures can fluctuate by 20 degrees in a single day, so please prepare accordingly.

Q: What about seasickness?

A: ‘Amelia’ is a 38 foot cruising catamaran. As such, she heels (tips) only 3 to 5 degrees, which makes her one of the smoothest sailing options in Puget Sound. Seasickness is rare on a large cruising catamaran like Amelia. If you are prone to motion sickness, we recommend taking motion sickness medication an hour or two before boarding, just in case.

Q: Can children come aboard?

A: Absolutely! Sailing on ‘Amelia’ is a fun and adventurous experience for kids of all ages. ‘Amelia’ is stocked with life jackets sized for young skippers, and is a great way to introduce your child to the wonders of the water.

Sailing onboard this graceful, twin-masted ship evokes the romance of a bygone age. The harmony of a massive ship under sail and wind power is a truly unforgettable experience. Sit back and take in the beautiful scenery as our friendly, skilled captain and crew read the wind and let it guide the days sailing route.
