Sharing the Experience
Sailing through the San Juan Islands is a perfect way to experience the joy of sailing, the beauty of the craft, and the magnificence of our marine environment. No need to make big plans, your yacht awaits. Just bring your gear, step aboard and go where the wind takes you. You are welcome to participate hands on in sailing the boat on all our trips (our crew is always happy to share our sailing knowledge and love of classic wooden boats..) or just sit back, relax and take in the sights, sounds and feelings of being out on the water. Either way, a memorable and exciting experience.
- Salish Sea Wildlife
Sailing by nature is a quiet, low impact, and “Green” activity. We feel that getting out on the water in a sailboat is a rejuvenating and respectful way to explore the islands and see the areas spectacular wildlife.
- Mt. Baker over the islands
We have a passion for sailing and boats, particularly traditional wooden boats, and a desire to play a part in the preservation and sharing of these vanishing “works of art”.

We hope to help foster and maintain an awareness and appreciation of our maritime heritage, our natural and pristine Pacific Northwest Marine Environment, and the fine works of some of the greatest yacht designers of the past.
