GETTING UNDERWAY

Chartering with us is as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5!

  1. Select your yacht and dates. Select the yacht you desire and the dates you prefer. Call us Monday through Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST, 1-800-670-8089 , or e-mail: charter@sanjuanyachting.com to confirm the dates are available and reserve your charter.
  2. Submit your cruising resume (if first time charter guest). Complete the charter resume and mail or e-mail it to San Juan Yachting. 
  3. Sign and return charter agreement.  San Juan Yachting will send you two copies of your charter agreement.  One will be for your records and the other will be for you to sign and return to us.  If you have chosen to send your reservation deposit (30% of charter rate) in by check, and if you have not already sent the check, you should include it with your signed agreement.
  4. Getting Ready. You will receive a charter preparation checklist containing general boat info, travel info, directions, and checkout and preparation tips.  Upon request, we can also send you a sample packing list and a sample 6 day menu (complete with shopping list) to make your planning easier.  In order to speed your checkout, we highly recommend that you read the "Notes From The Owner" for your boat (found on this website at the top of your boat's charter fleet specification page).
  5. On arrival. Our knowledgeable charter staff will orient you to the islands and give you a complete checkout of your powerboat. We will be happy to assist you with cruise planning, answer questions, and share with you our own special tips about cruising the islands of the Pacific Northwest. Then you’re off cruising the islands across beautiful Bellingham Bay.
  6. And if you are planning to go into Canadian waters, there is a #6.  Click here for information.

Note regarding winter charters (between the end of the fall off-season and the beginning of the spring off-season):  Winter cruising (at off-season rates) is not recommended due to high winds (50+ knots) and wind waves (8+ feet), often unpredicted, that occur in our area.  However, charters may be available (minimum of 5 days) to those with significant experience, upon approval by both the owner and the general manager of San Juan Yachting.  Please also note that most boats are undergoing extensive preventive maintenance during the winter so the selection of vessels is limited.
