TRIP OVERVIEW:

We’ll get acquainted at the marina, go over some safety precautions, pour you all a couple drinks, then charter past the idyllic Port Townsend & Fort Worden coastlines. (Last minute coffee stops etc can be fun before we leave town). From here we’ll cut across the bay, and fully circumnavigate Indian / Marrowstone Islands, stopping at several great beaches, forests, & abandoned forts along the way! (20+ miles in total). We’ll picnic, explore, learn about local ecology / history, enjoy some good music, and take passenger requests to ensure that this is the greatest boat charter your group has had in years! 

4 hours later, we’ll get you dropped off back at the marina or the nearby "Pourhouse" beach patio, and you can enjoy the rest of your afternoon / evening however you please… (Many suggestions offered, just ask : )

PICNIC / DRINKS:

A charcuterie board is pre-made for each group, but make sure to bring more food if you'll be hungry... Three wines/beers for each person, on the house! (Or a novel Japanese Tea Ceremony on the beach!) Filtered water also provided for guests. Bring more beverages if you like!
