Set sail on an unforgettable journey through the breathtaking San Juan Islands, guided by expert local knowledge, detailed maps, and meticulously crafted boating itineraries. Master the rhythms of tides and currents to glide effortlessly between islands. Pitch your tent in hidden forested parks, drop anchor in pristine bays, and hike trails that lead to sweeping vistas. Wander the bustling charm of Friday Harbor and the elegance of Roche Harbor—then escape it all in a serene, secluded cove where the world slips quietly away.

    Planning your vacation should be as enjoyable as actually

implementing your plan.


Therefore you need information to glean through so that you can make some educated choices. What is less helpful are glitzy ads and sponsored one-sided reviews



  Ask a friend for ideas and if they have visited or traveled to the same area, you may save yourself some time and possible mistakes. We offer our friendship and as a friend, our experience.


      Our first family visit was a camping trip over forty years ago and by boat, was over twenty five years ago. My brother has been an islander for as long. Our long history attests to the allure of the Islands.  In our travels, we have explored, hiked, biked, and created wonderful memories. Of course some experiences are best not repeated and to be avoided if possible.


    In 2014, we published "San Juan Islands Cruise Guide," specifically for sharing our knowledge of resources and what works, what doesn't work and how to make the most of visiting the area by boat.  In 2017 we came out with "San Juan Islands Travel Guide," a by land and by sea guide and in 2019 updated the original cruiser's guidebook.


     In writing the guidebooks we strived to provide the basic information and local knowledge that new visitors needed to create their own special visit to the San Juans that we love and adopted long ago.


     For planning your next great adventure to the San Juans, I suggest you dig into this website using the search box feature, mark a departure date on your calendar, and order our guidebooks. E-mail us your questions.


Our best,
John and Linda
