San Juan Islands Sailing Charters and Cruises

We provide yacht and crew. you relax and enjoy., the art of slow travel.

Something special happens when we cast off the dock lines and head out into the San Juan Islands on a sailing charter. We become aware of the rhythm of the tides, the wind filling the sails, the salty sea air, and the porpoise following in our wake. The hidden coves and diverse marine life of the San Juans beckon us to make discoveries and submerge ourselves in its delightfully relaxed pace.

So much of the world passes by without our being able to see, touch, or feel it. A sailing charter through the San Juan islands allows us to take a moment to slow down and experience it for ourselves.

We have been perfecting the art of “slow travel” for over 25 years. Our new 55′ sailboat Northwind , offers a luxury yacht charter experience for up to six guests in private staterooms with ensuite baths. Each one of our San Juan Sailing Charters and Inside Passage cruises are one of a kind, designed for your group from the ground up. From your preferences on food and drink , to where we go and what we see and do, the result is a perfect blending of islands, yacht, crew, and cuisine. It’s your perfect vacation, Sailing the San Juan Islands in style.

 This is what a carefree sailing vacation is all about

Sailing the san juan islands.

Captains Jette & Jon Baker, with TailR

A fully crewed sailing charter with Sail the San Juans is a world away from any vacation experience you probably have ever had. A sailboat charter aboard Northwind  will open a door to see and experience the more remote islands and coves that are not easily accessible to most people.

At the same time, sailing yachts are in a unique position to be less intrusive to marine mammals which helps encourage encounters with Orca, seals and porpoise.

A sailboat charter with Sail the San Juans is a first class experience, from our impeccable yacht and crew to your private chef’s menu built around your preferences.

Join us to explore over 200 forested islands, help trim the sails on Northwind, or just relax while you savor gourmet fare , and great hiking and kayaking through protected bays and inlets.

This is the art of slow travel.

The essence of yachting

Perhaps a performance yacht’s most impressive achievement is its ability to create memories. All five senses alive and all vividly recalling the same instant. A perfect moment. A snapshot in time you command yourself to hold. A flawless day.

Blue sky meets blue sea and the horizon nearly vanishes. The sun’s glint off a million ripples as you power south. A picnic with young children in the shallow waters of a favorite cove. A gentle passage under your favorite bridge, a getaway to the open sea. A well earned dinner of fresh fish with lifelong friends. A much anticipated month-long cruise along the coast. A spontaneous sprint to a westward island to watch the sunset.

Memories like these don’t happen by chance. They are made. They are crafted. They are afforded because passionate engineers, artisans, visionaries and craftspeople came together to achieve something truly superlative. And came as close as humanly possible to creating nautical perfection.

Things to do

Restaurants, food and drink, restaurants, food and drink | the dish: food and wine fest lineup unveiled, new restaurant openings and more, news from hell's kitchen, la valencia, postino, fatburger and more.

Festival co-founder and producer Michelle Metter said that over the past two decades, the festival has evolved from simply showcasing the food and wine in its title to become a “multi-genre, multi-cultural festival that is mission and value-led.”

This year’s festival, running Nov. 2 through 10, celebrates new partnerships with the James Beard Foundation and Food Tank.

This year’s opening night Grand Decant wine-tasting event will benefit the James Beard Foundation, which celebrates the top talent in the American restaurant, wine and spirits industries. There will also be a Food Tank Summit, featuring speakers from Food Tank ( a global food research and advocacy organization), KPBS and the festival team discussing how the 2024 fall election will impact the Good Food Movement.

Among the many high-profile local chefs taking part in festival events are Michelin Bib Gourmand chef-owner Travis Swikard of Callie in East Village, Michelin-starred chef Drew Deckman, who will open his first U.S. restaurant in North Park this summer, 31THIRTYONE in North Park; Michelin-starred chef Roberto Alcocer of Valle in Oceanside; and Cameron Ingle of Marisi in La Jolla.

This past spring, Michelin announced its first-ever awards in Mexico. Some of the Mexico honorees who will take part in this year’s festival are Javier Plascencia, Jairo Villalvaso, Carlos Gaytan and Marcelo Hisaki. Also attending is Maynard Llera of Kuya Lord restaurant in Los Angeles, who won Best Chef: California at the 2024 James Beard Awards last month.

This year’s events include a Baja culinary tour; a new Creator Live event featuring top food influencers; a festival of food-inspired films in Coronado; and the signature Grand Tasting outdoor event. Tickets are now on sale at sandiegowineclassic.com/events .
