San Juan Islands yacht charters and cruises
aboard the classic 1931 yacht Discovery
Escape from Seattle to the San Juan Islands for the weekend (or longer) on a San Juan Islands cruise. A private yacht charter and cruise in the San Juan Islands provides an ideal getaway for couples, friends and families. Port Townsend, Roche Harbor and Friday Harbor are pretty seaside villages within a days cruise of Seattle. San Juan Island marinas offer moorage for the evening which allows you plenty of time to explore the sidewalk antique stores, art galleries, boutiques and cafes. Discovery is a beautiful charter boat with old world charm, modern conveniences and all the toys for a fun filled yacht charter in the San Juans.
Personalized itineraries
If you prefer an itinerary away from populated areas there are numerous bays that provide sheltered anchorages and time for beach walks, kayaking and fishing or just relax on board and enjoy the ambience of the 1930's. The San Juan Islands see the sun on an average 247 days a year. The Indian summers in the fall (especially September and October) as well as the beautiful spring weather offer a rare opportunity to really view this pristine area.
San Juan Islands marine life
A variety of marine life and birds call the San Juan Islands home and we have the chance of encountering Orcas Whales, Porpoise, Seals, Sea Lions, Bald Eagles and more. On a San Juan Islands yacht charter our cruises are flexible so we have the option of spending time with wildlife.
Accommodations onboard
"MV Discovery" sleeps 11-12 guests comfortably in 6 staterooms and linen is provided on all overnight charters. More than anything we aim to please. A small group size allows us to customize charters to suit individual budgets and preferences. The boat is yours for the duration of the cruise.
Catering options are many but need to be prearranged. On a fully catered San Juan Islands yacht charter our chef will spoil you with a hot breakfast, delicious lunch, Hors d'oeuvres and wine on the fantail at 4pm and a sumptuous three course evening meal served in the dining salon. Alternatively you can organize to have breakfast and lunch on board while we are underway and be free to choose a local restaurant for dinner in the evening and take in the town's nightlife. The boat is accessible to guests at all times should anyone wish return early or do their own thing.
Adventure cruising - San Juan Islands to Alaska
From mid May to mid September each year Discovery cruises the waters of Southeast Alaska.
Why not join us on the cruise north from Seattle through the San Juan Islands, Vancouver Island and the inside passage to Ketchikan, Alaska or the reverse itinerary south in mid September.
