You're Viewing: All Boating

There are few opportunities to capture the natural majesty of Orcas Island that are better than a kayak tour or boating trip in the waters of Puget Sound. Orcas Island hosts numerous marinas, kayak rentals and whale watching expeditions that are all available in season for single, double, and family excursions. Travel around Orcas Island on a charter cruise or take a whale watching tour with experienced guides and refreshments. If you’re planning on having your special day by the water, then consider chartering a wedding cruise from one of the touring services.

Boaters have plenty of opportunities to enjoy themselves in the San Juan Islands. Several marinas can be found across Orcas Island, including the fully stocked Deer Harbor Marina and the picturesque Rosario Resort Marina. Several resorts are located right by the water and provide their own docks for visitors and customers.
