It is a 65-foot workboat, built in 1929, that has been converted to carry up to 6 overnight passengers for relaxed luxury cruises in 4 inviting cabins. For me, the ultimate moment of relaxation was sitting quietly with a steaming mug on deck at daybreak, watching the sun rise over Lopez Island with glassy water in the foreground and the glow of a lantern overhead, while the rest of the world was a million miles away.Īnother meticulously restored wooden boat is the Motor Vessel David B, operated by Jeffrey and Christine Smith of Northwest Navigation. Trips on the Zodiac focus on a variety of themes throughout the summer, including Lighthouses, Family Father’s Day Escape, Breweries, Seafood and Wine, Nauti-Gals Women Only, Family Labor Day Escape, Wooden Boat Festival and Autumn Sailing Adventures. The largest of the Bellingham fleet is the majestic Schooner Zodiac, with the tallest working mainsail on the West Coast of America. Thursday evenings in July and August, the Whatcom Museum History Sunset Cruise takes place aboard Island Mariner. Island Mariner operates out of Bellingham’s Squalicum Harbor and also offers full-day San Juan Islands Whale Watching. San Juan Cruises also offers full-day Bird Watching Excursions Sundays June 7, 21 and July 5, 2015. If your schedule only allows for a day or an evening in the San Juans, it is easy to get out on the water from Bellingham (with no waiting in ferry lines) and there are many options to explore. Within view of downtown Bellingham, the San Juan Archipelago encompasses 172 islands and rocks in the Salish Sea, including 75 sites officially designated San Juan Islands National Monument.
