"A most perfect week. Favorite moments: a scarlet sunrise behind Mt. Baker; playing with Orcas; being at the helm in a hefty wind; evening hikes; sitting at the bow being totally alone with the sailing experience, anchoring out at night."
M.G., OR.
"We sailed through the islands with stops along the way for hiking and just relaxing. We saw eagles, hawks and herons in flight, and porpoises playing around the boat, an awesome sight! One night I saw the world's greatest light show, the Northern Lights, dancing all around the horizon! That image will forever be in my memory."

This is one of the world's best places to view Orca whales, as scores of "residents" ply the protected sea - we are often blessed with intimate, often extended encounters with these magnificent animals. Porpoises, seals, bald eagles, otters, and sea birds are also frequent visitors.
Sublime cruising in sheltered inland waters greets visitors to this stunning archipelago's hundreds of islands. With abundant sunshine and a dry climate, this area is known as the "banana belt of the Pacific Northwest."
Undulating sandstone cliffs, madrona trees, evergreen covered islands and ethereal snowy mountain peaks magnify the area's beauty.You can also enjoy a wealth of on-shore activities, including visits to pristine remote islands, charming villages, inns and spas.
