Sunrise Cove  -  There’s a small island in Sunrise Cove, about 50’ x 50’.  It really packs a lot in.  There are three separate beaches and a big mountain there, maybe 6 feet tall, with a grassy mushroom top.   It looks like something out of Munchkin land.  I think it’s big enough to spread a table cloth out for a picnic.    You can row our rubber boat there.  If you take your time rowing, I think you can cover the distance in about three minutes.  There is an aerial picture of Sunrise Cove (below).  You can see this little island and its triangular beaches.  Just a fun place.  This is all part of what you will see as we ride around. If we are doing a mid-day cruise for lunch, that's one of the stopping places. 




















Swimmin’ Hole – there’s a very smooth, soft sandy beach in Sunset Cove that's almost warm on a sunny day -  Depending on what the tide is doing, we can bring our yacht really close to the beach.  We can use the dinghy for closer support and general frolicking.  If anybody gets the hankerin’ to get wet, you can jump right off the swim step into a foot and a half of mild water.  By the way, at the back of the yacht, we have a warm, fresh water outside shower for rinsing off.


Give us a call to schedule your adventure!

I’m not going to describe sunsets in detail to anybody here, but picture 20 miles of glassy water facing west while dining and enjoying the view.  If its smooth water you will get two sunsets for the price of one.  One in the sky and one on the water  You cannot capture this on your big screen at home.  All this can be experienced without your colleagues back at the office knowing your where-abouts.  If you have the need to communicate, we can usually get phone reception about 75% of the time.  I love cell phones (no one knows where you are).
Join us for an afternoon tour or evening sunset cruise and dinner off the North Shore of Orcas Island specializing in the scenic beauty of Sucia Islands State Park.  We board for dinner late afternoon and return late sunset to dark.



Leaving from  North Shore Orcas Island we offer two journeys:



















We leave the marina around 5:00 or 6:00PM for our ride through Sucia Islands State Park. It's a nice tour through all of this sceanery before we settle in for dinner.  If it’s calm enough we can stop out in the kelp beds for our main dinner break.  There’s nothing quite like stopping out in the middle when it’s calm.  I do mean stopped, no engines idling, no generators running, no noise.  You may hear heavy breathing outside. This will be sea lions, seals, otters, maybe some porpoises cruising by. They will all look at us to see what’s going on.  I like to stop in the kelp beds, lots of critters there. 
 
 

Keep in mind that this is a very personal cruise.  There are typically only 6 of us on board- myself, our chef, and you honeymooners.   The flight deck, or up on the sundeck, is the perfect place to watch this all unfold.  The flight deck has its own couch and table, stools, etc., it's not like an aircraft cockpit there's plenty of elbow room.  The sundeck above has comfortable couches for everybody.

  THIS IS YOUR PERSONAL CRUISE. We never mix parties. If you didn't bring them, you 
   won't meet them.  (Except our chef and the Skipper)  If there's only two of you, then 
   that's our party.

Dinner at Sunset Cove -  We'll settle in for awhile in a place I call Sunset Cove, perfectly calm waters to dine by.  Take a look below at the arial view of Sunset Cove (it's really called Shallow Bay, but I like to re-name stuff).  The photo shows calm waters and even if a little breeze shows up it won't affect us because we're so sheltered. You can take the skiff over to the beach, if you want, while dinner is cooking.  When you gaze into the shallow waters and see a few crabs scurryng around, you will then realize why we have taken you to this truly sacred place.
 
Mid-day Putt - cruise around with a snack or have lunch. The greater portion of the day shows no sunset.  Up to six folks or a small group can take a sightseeing ride around the islands.  Lots to see.  Food doesn't have to be involved at all, or you can bring your own snacks.
 
We can customize your cruise to suit your desires - See Policies and Rates page.
