Boats.

Boating has been a critical part of Orcas Island’s life and prosperity ever since the first settlers arrived in the 19^th century. Since that time marinas, public docks, and resorts have sprung up along the shores of Orcas providing easy access to the beautiful vistas of the Gem of the San Juan Islands. Many island residents own their own boats and several businesses offer their services for boat maintenance, repairs, and upgrading. Popular resorts provide their own docks and encourage visitors to come by cruise, charter boat, and seaplane for a fully immersive island experience. Servicing and restocking options for your boat are also in constant supply right at the marinas, or at the sporting goods stores in Eastsound.

The ride over to Orcas on the Washington State Ferry boats is a marvelous introduction for any visitors driving or biking to the islands, and there are plenty of marine opportunities for them to enjoy as well. Kayak rentals are available at several locations and sailing charters can be found at each of Orcas Island’s town marinas. Whale watching tours depart almost daily during the prime seasons and come fully equipped with refreshments and experienced tour staff.

Check out our Boating and Marina pages for more marine options and come explore the San Juan Islands of Washington State today!
