We are just trying out this Boatbound thing! We have our prices set lower than normal for the first few bookings through Boatbound just to see how it works out (if you can still read this, we haven't raised rates yet!). Read what some of our other guests have to say:
"One of the most unique trips we've taken and we would definitely recommend this to others."
-Lindsay, September 2014
"We got to see parts of the San Juan Islands not easily accessible without a boat so that was amazing. The food provided was really good and the boat was large and comfortable with plenty of storage. A truly great trip and highly recommended."
-David, September 2014
"Jack and Cayley were extremely accommodating, taking wherever we wanted to go, dropping us off for dinners on Orcas for a special anniversary dinner. I can't recommend them highly enough. What an amazing treat to stay aboard."
-Jeff, August 2014
Borealis Sailing Expedition's Bel Canto is a heavily built and outfitted cutter rigged steel-hulled sloop. She was designed and built in the Pacific Northwest to withstand cold and heavy weather conditions in comfort and safety. Besides her sails she is outfitted with an auxiliary Perkins diesel engine for propulsion. Electrical service is provided by an onboard battery bank and a small diesel generator. She carries redundant GPS navigation systems.
We have a small motorboat/ tender for exploring all of the bays and harbors along the way, as well as a SUP for guests to use.
The two person crew cooks breakfast and lunch and takes care of the boat. You can take as much or as little responsibility for sailing the boat as you want. We are happy to teach you, or to let you just soak in the sights as we get you to the destination. We generally eat ashore at a different harbor every night
The crew has over a decade of combined experience sailing boats to remote shores around the world, and exploring the Pacific Northwest.
Two guests can stay in the owner's cabin with an ensuite private bathroom. An additional two can stay in the forward cabin with shared bathroom, and two more can stay in curtained off bunks in the salon. Additional fees may apply for more than two people and for holiday bookings.
