Pacific Northwest Yacht Cruise
Washington and British Columbia
George Vancouver, an English sea captain and well-known explorer, arrived in this area in the early 1790's. After weeks of sailing in the open ocean his mood needed a lift, and when he entered Puget Sound, the very waters that we travel through, he was transformed by the striking, serene beauty of the land and seascapes that surrounded him.
Today, we find the same mountains, inlets and islands that so inspired Captain Vancouver. Here, orca whales move silently through the water in search of salmon. Seals and sea lions lounge on rocky islets, and black bears and deer flourish in the deep, evergreen forests. Spectacular snow-capped mountains fall steeply to the waters of the Sound.
Experience everything from sandy beaches offering silence and solitude to the charming and welcoming towns and cities such as Friday Harbor in Washington's San Juan Islands, and Victoria, British Columbia. Whether we're browsing art galleries in hideaway ports or kayaking in the wilderness fjords of the Pacific coastal mountains, we'll find a world rich in nature and culture waiting.
