Northwest of Seattle, Washington lie several groups of islands that are nestled mountain ranges to the North, South and to the East. The protected waters that surround these islands are a closely guarded secret of those who have discovered this
Northwest oasis. Although the Pacific Northwest receives a significant amount of rainfall, these cruising areas are situated in the lee of of three different mountain ranges that create a rain shadow that yields a wonderful micro-climate.

The Magnificent San Juan Islands lay nestled in the protected waters between the Olympic and Cascade mountains to the south and to the east. These forested islands are in the rain shadow of the Olympics. This Phenominon commonly referred to as the bannana belt results in a sunny climate. Wild creatures flourish here. Bald Eagles, numerous migratory birds, Seals, Sea Lions, Sea Otters and Orca Whales make their home here…to name just a few. Visit our islands – you’ll be glad you did!

The Canadian Gulf Islands are situated in the lee of Vancouver Island, just across the US/Canada border. This wonderful string of over 200 islands offers hundreds of protected anchorages, shops and restaurants and the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
