Hi, I am going to the San Juan Islands in June and looking for any suggestions. I haven’t rented a boat yet and am looking for something between 35-40 ft so if anyone has any rental company suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated. Also, I would love any experience or tips that anyone has to share.
Thanks,
Rocket
Anacrotes Yacht Charters (https://www.anacortesyachtcharters.com) is a good company. I'm actually doing a Charter with them this July. They have a great option to have a captain aboard for 1-3 days until you both feel comfortable having you take the boat solo. Its a great work around if you don't have a long log book history of chargers. I've spent a lot of time up there for work and can say there are endless places to go. That said tide and currents are pretty significant there, so you'll want to be very strategic in your trip planning each day. I'd highly recommend taking on a captain for a day or two if for no other reason than to get some local knowledge of currents and safe places to anchor.
Awesome info. I appreciate you sharing!
