Peer Pressure: San Juan 40

• By Jay Coyle
• Updated: February 17, 2009

ytgfeb09sj404.jpg

In the big business of boating, most builders are better at shuffling paper than sawing wood. That is why it was refreshing to meet Don Campbell and Randy McCurdy, owners of San Juan Yachts, who are more likely to be found out on the shop floor than behind a desk. The San Juan 40 Fly Bridge is their latest effort and one of just eight boats they will build this year. This hands-on, low volume, semi-custom approach is uncommon at this end of the market and the results are impressive.

Campbell and McCurdy dreamed of a company like San Juan Yachts as they were paying their dues in the boat business. Campbell served on the decks of two America’s Cup contenders that he helped build in the 1980s. He moved on to become general manager of Admiral Marine in 1995. This is where he met McCurdy, who was serving as production manager. The two shared their desire to build a boat their way and launched San Juan Yachts in 1998.

Their first boat was a 38-footer and would set the tone for later boats. While it is tempting to pigeonhole San Juan Yachts as a builder of New England-style lobster boats, their designs have a unique left-coast patina. Campbell and McCurdy called on British Columbia-based yacht designer Greg Marshall to shape the 38. “Originally we felt there was a market for a New England-style boat on the West Coast,” said Campbell. “When the phone began ringing we figured out pretty quickly that most of the business would be on the East Coast.”

At hull number sixty-five, Campbell and McCurdy still handle boat-show duty personally, representing their products and listening to customers. “People tell us what they like and what they don’t like. It’s important to hear it first hand,” said Campbell. Keeping their ear to the dock is what launched the 30- and 48-foot models and now the new 40FB.

So, it seemed fitting that I met Campbell and McCurdy at this past Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show to inspect the 40FB. Her dark-blue hull is shaped smartly with tumblehome aft and modest flare forward. A bright finished teak toe rail accents the traditional sweep of her sheer. Her softly shaped house and bridge lines create eye-pleasing balance. My first impression was of a classic 31-foot Bertram gone Downeast! When I mentioned this to McCurdy he smiled, considering it a compliment…as it was!

I easily got on board via her teaksheathed swim platform and stepped through the transom door. Her cockpit is laid out with transom seating and the engine boxes are fitted with cushions. A Lexan bulkhead with a tempered glass door separates her cockpit and helm area. Inside the air-conditioned space is a wet bar with an ice maker and a dinette with a teak tabletop that drops with the push of a button to form a berth. The interior helm station has a power Stidd seat and room for a reasonable complement of electronics. A teak ladder leads below. The galley area has a sink, a two-burner cooktop, and a microwave. Instead of a mass-produced marine or domestic refrigerator and freezer, the 40FB is fitted with front-loading, custom stainless steel refrigeration. There is a queen island berth forward and a head with a separate stall shower.

“While some of our owners will use the 40FB as a day boat, we designed her so that cruising couples could wander away from the dock for a week in comfort,” said McCurdy. The boat’s satin-finished teak interior is trimmed with quality soft goods and hardware. Fit and finish is well above average.

The Pacific Northwest was the cradle of lightweight fiberglass motoryacht construction. Located in Anacortes, Washington, San Juan Yachts has the advantage of this knowledge base and its 65,000-square-foot facility is home to 85 craftsmen. Like her sisters, the 40FB’s major tooling was sculpted by computer to exact tolerances. Her hull is built using an infusion process with vinylester resin, Kevlar, E-glass, and core-cell foam. The hull is divided structurally into four watertight compartments. Her house, bridge, and decks are built in the same fashion and no wood is used in her structure. Infusion, the process of drawing the resin into the reinforcement in a vacuum, allows the resin and glass ratios to be carefully controlled. This produces more consistent results and structural properties that would be difficult to achieve by hand lamination in a production environment. Exterior surfaces are finished with AlexSeal in a climate-controlled spray booth. Here again, the net result is well above average.

The 40FB is hard-chined and has a fine entry with slightly convex sections and a transom deadrise of 17 degrees. Moderate tunnels shelter about 1/3 of the prop diameter, and maximum draft at her prop tips and forefoot are equal, coming in at just two feet, two inches. With her tabs set at fifty percent, she rose evenly to plane. Pushing her throttles hard ahead generated an acceptable puff of smoke before the turbos on her 480-horsepower Yanmars took up the slack. She reached full turns in about twenty seconds. I recorded a maximum speed of 35.8 knots at her prescribed 3300 rpm. While she cruises nicely at higher speeds, she is most comfortable and quite efficient while turning 2400 rpm at 25.3 knots. She cuts tight turns predictably at speed, and with bow and stern thrusters she will be easy to wiggle around the dock. Her flying bridge has Stidd helm and companion seating as well as bench seating aft. My only complaint is that I found the tab buttons a bit hard to reach since they are hidden behind the engine controls. Relocating them shouldn’t be a problem.

While the 40FB is semi-custom, her specifications leave little to the imagination and it is worth noting that equipment and component selections are all first class.

“We’ve tried to include everything that most customers ask for,” said Campbell. “It makes pricing and production more efficient.” If there is something that you feel the 40FB lacks that is not standard or offered as an option, Campbell and McCurdy would like to know about it. They are the kind of boat builders that pay attention to their customers and that’s what makes the San Juan 40FB the sort of boat that deserves your attention.

Anacortes & San Juan Yacht Charter

For yacht charter, The San Juan Islands, south of the US/Canada border, are the "Virgin Islands of the North". You can board your yacht charter vacation in Anacortes, the crown jewel of Fidalgo Island, easternmost of the San Juan Islands. Accessible by road, Anacortes is the jump-point to the rest of the archipelago. The San Juans offer a broad palette of natural beauty, short port-to-port passages and a great variety of onshore entertainment. The sheltered body of water is a protected cruising ground for bareboats and powerboats in particular. Whatever your preference we can provide it, from bareboat sail charters to luxury crewed power boats. The facilities available in the San Juan's provide just about everything a yacht charter guest could ask for, from resorts, marinas, shopping and craft markets, to museums, art galleries and waterfront restaurants. The main islands of interest for yacht charters are Orcas Island, San Juan Island and Lopez Island, but there are half a dozen smaller islands that are worth a visit. For nature lovers there's also the 113-acre state marine park nearby.

The extensive facilities on Orcas and San Juan tend to make these the most popular islands with yacht charters. The mountainous island of Orca is fortunately, also considered by many, to be the most picturesque. San Juan Island offers charter boats many opportunities. Roche Harbor Village, in the north, is where the marina, restaurants and shopping facilities are located. Stroll through beautiful Victorian gardens or pay tribute to the historical site of confrontation between the British and Americans in 1859.

Lopez Island is where most of the action happens. The island is still largely devoted to agriculture, which means its terrain is carpeted in a lush green. If you have the time, pull you charter boat into the harbor for a taste of the weekly markets in Lopez village. Here you'll find everything from the fantastic local produce, to New Age jewellery, aromatherapy compounds, crystals, and home-smoked salmon, sold by the slice.

The San Juans are slightly protected from the rains by the Olympic Mountains, but it can still be showery any time of year. Wet weather gear is essential. If you like things warm, book your yacht charter in the summer months, although you'll find crowds at their highest, and of course, there are no guarantees that the sun will always shine. If you're willing to take a slight risk, avoid high summer and organize a charter boat for early June or September: The weather will be nearly as good, and you'll have a much better choice of charter boats.

The types of yacht charter available in the Anacortes & San Juan Islands are all the main types including motor, sailing, bareboat charter, skippered, crewed yachts, catamaran, power boat, sailboat, luxury yachts and even super yacht charter.

The San Juan Islands are a great place to relax, and a great place for a yacht charter. You can do as much as you like, or as little...........just wait and see how the wind blows.

Know Here about the San Juan's Yacht Charters

Majestic. Awe Inspiring. Inspirational – A Magical Experience You'll Never Forget

San Juan's Yacht Charters is here to make your vacation unforgettable. The Pacific Northwest is home to a myriad of wildlife. It boasts diverse ecosystems, ranging from the mountain ranges to the numerous island and waterways and to the open ocean. The Pacific Northwest is home to bears, elk, mountain lions, eagles, salmon, giant Pacific octopus, whales, and many more! The highlight for most visitors is the resident and transient orcas, humpback whales, minke whales, and gray whales.

The waters surrounding the Pacific Northwest offer some of the most diverse whale and wildlife viewing on the west coast. There are only a few things more magical in this world than watching whales in their natural habitat. The regions across the world provide whale watching opportunities that are as diverse as the whale species. Humpbacks, 40-60ft. In length are found in waters surrounding Washington State and British Columbia while the playful black and white orcas live throughout the year in the waters of the Pacific Northwest's San Juan Islands.

We, at Pacific Northwest Yacht Charters , have luxurious San Juan's Yacht Charters and experienced guides who can educate guests about the specific whale's species during a whale watching tour. This can help you to have a memorable and unique experience for guests of all ages. The best time to go for whale watching at San Juan's Yacht Charters  is from April through September. Types of whales you can come across in the Pacific Northwest:

Southern Resident Killer Whales – Southern resident killer whales are some of the most researched whales in the world. They spend much of their time in the waters around Washington and British Columbia throughout the year feeding on their favorite food - Chinook salmon. This group of killers whales is very playful, acrobatic and at the same time social too.

Transient Killer Whales – Spotting transient orca whales in the waters of the Pacific Northwest is common due to an increase in their prey – harbor seals, California and Steller sea lions and harbor porpoise. Watching transient orcas hunt is very interesting and exciting! In the recent past, transient and bigg's killer whales have become more prevalent. They eat marine mammals: seals, sea lions, porpoise, dolphins – even other whales!

Humpback Whales – Over the last few years, humpback whales have made a comeback to the waters of Pacific Northwest in large numbers. Humpback whales are one of the most beloved and recognized whales in the world. Found in all the world's oceans, each humpback whale has a unique personality and appearance. If you're lucky enough you might spot mother humpbacks that nurse their calves with San Juan's Yacht Charters .

Minke Whales – Considered to be one of the most mysterious marine animals of the Pacific Northwest area, they are the most loved of all. Minkes are relatively solitary and spend their time feeding on schools of small baitfish. Minke whales can be found by smell alone - their breath is quite memorable! If you are lucky enough to catch a whiff, it is an experience that will long be remembered with San Juan's Yacht Charters .

Gray Whales – Currently, gray whales hold the record of the longest mammal migration as they travel from coldwater feeding grounds to the warm calving lagoons in Baja, Mexico. Gray whales are the only bottom-feeding whale, which means there are very rare instances that they will scoop up an entire mouthful of the sea floor. While they feed in the shallow, calm waters – it is indeed a sight to behold.

We at Pacific Northwest Yacht Charters, offer custom private tour experiences for couples, groups and families, with complimentary itinerary planning and personalized attention to detail. When on board your own Private Yacht Charter in Seattle , you get to spend more time with wildlife and less in transit. Your private and customized whale watching tour will guarantee the most authentic and personalized experience to you and your group.

San Juan Islands

San juan islands yacht charters.

The San Juan Islands are located within the Washington’s Puget Sound and are a destination for fishing, boating, sea kayaking, scuba diving, golf, and snow sports, with proximity to Seattle. Home to some of America’s most well-known corporations, Seattle is a growing city that is still a popular vacation destination.

SAMPLE ITINERARY: SAN JUAN ISLANDS

The San Juan Islands are made up of many islands of which 172 have names. There are 17 state parks within the islands. All of the islands are within two to three hours of cruising. The four main islands are Orcas, San Juan, Lopez and Shaw. It is a day’s cruise from the Seattle area to the San Juans. From Bellingham it is two to three hours. There are so many bays, harbors and anchorages that you could spend several summers cruising the entire area.

A typical ten-day cruise in the San Juan Islands would be as follows:

• Day 1: Leave Bellingham Harbor and cruise to Sucia Islands. Drop anchor in Echo Bay. Sucia Islands are a cluster of 11 islands and inlets. Fossils can be found in one of the bays as well as oysters, clams & crabs. Hiking trails are abundant throughout the Islands. Sucia was known in the early days as the base for smuggling and rum running.
• Day 2: Cruise to Stuart Island. There are two main anchorages on this island: Reid and Prevost Harbors. Anchor in one of these areas to explore the island on one of the hiking trails. There are picnic sites, docks and floats. A typical hike would be to Turn Point lighthouse, which has a sweeping view of the Canadian Gulf Islands and Vancouver Island. Both harbors are good places to practice your kayaking.
• Day 3: Cruise to San Juan Island and Roche Harbor Resort, which is the famous home of the Roche Harbor Lime & Cement Company. This historical island provides many fun and interesting places to explore. The formal garden in front of the Hotel de Haro is quite beautiful. Besides a restaurant, bar, and shops, there is also an Olympic size swimming pool and tennis courts. The hike to the mausoleum is not to be missed. At sunset each night, we enjoy the traditional flag ceremony.
• Day 4: Cruise to Westcott and Garrison Bays. Here we will crab, tour an oyster farm and visit the British Camp, which was established in the 1860s and remained active until 1872 after the Pig War. The blockhouse, commissary and barracks are still standing.
• Day 5: Cruise to the town of Friday Harbor, the largest in the islands, which also serves as the county seat. There are all types of shopping available only a short walk from where the boat is anchored. Visit the Whale Museum or the University of Washington Marine Laboratories, located right in the harbor.
• Day 6: Cruise to Spencer Spit State Park on Lopez Island. This beautiful sandy finger of land is perfect for picnics and hiking. Also, it is a great place to catch crab.
• Day 7: Cruise the islands, looking for pods of Orca Whales (also known as killer whales) and do some exciting whale watching. Spend the evening in one of the dozens of lovely bays.
• Day 8: Cruise to the beautiful and charming city of Victoria, British Columbia. Clear customs, sightsee, shop, enjoy high tea at the Empress Hotel and visit the Maritime Museum. Victoria is not to be missed.
• Day 9: Cruise to Sidney Harbor and visit the famed and internationally known Butchart Gardens. Cruise to Sidney Spit Marine Park and enjoy a barbeque picnic on the beach. Hike around the island and see wild sheep, deer, pheasants and peacocks.
• Day 10: Return to Bellingham.

Crewed yacht charters in the San Juan Islands

My family and I had the most wonderful evening onboard the MV Discovery with Captain Ben!  The boat is absolutely beautiful, and Captain Ben and his crew were warm, knowledgeable and gave us a fabulous tour of Seattle.  There were seven of us aboard, though we easily could have fit twice that.

“A Seattle must-do.  We will absolutely be back next year!”

Yelp Review

When I remember magical holiday events, chartering the MV Discovery for the evening with old friends will clearly remain at the top. This exquisite wood yacht brought us all back to another era as we followed the Christmas ships on Lake Washington. Captain Ben Swanson was very accommodating and friendly to everyone, Chef Alisa created a beautiful and delicious feast for us, and everyone had a wonderful evening.

“I would highly recommend chartering this yacht for any special event.”
