Anacortes is the gateway to the San Juan Islands and makes for the perfect place for you to start your yacht charter holiday. The San Juans offer stunning natural beauty, short port to port passages and a variety of restaurants and onshore entertainment. The main islands of interest for yacht charters are Orcas Island, San Juan Island and Lopez Island, but there are half a dozen smaller islands that are worth a visit. For nature lovers there's also the 113-acre state marine park nearby.
Orcas Island and San Juan Island are the most popular islands for yacht charterers due to their extensive facilities. Orcas Island is also often said to be the most beautiful of them all due to its mountainous nature. Lopez Island is where most of the action happens. The island is still largely devoted to agriculture, which means its terrain is carpeted in a lush green. If you have the time, pull your charter boat into the harbor for a taste of the weekly markets in Lopez village. Here you'll find everything from the fantastic local produce, to New Age jewellery, aromatherapy compounds, crystals, and home-smoked salmon, sold by the slice. The peak cruising season for the San Juan Islands is from June through to September. The yacht charter shoulder seasons of May and early October are also well worth considering, as they are less crowded and the weather is usually still fairly settled.
