Our Favorite places to visit in the San Juans. Recommendations for itineraries and trip reports.

Deer Harbor

Located on Orcas Island, WA, has long been a destination and way point  for boaters and travelers of the Pacific Northwest. As those who have spent time at Deer Harbor would attest, this beautiful marina centrally located in the San Juan Islands is an ideal destination.

A very nice marina, with room for catamarans on the end. Good showers, very clean. A tiny store with ice cream and such. It also has diesel, water and electricity. This harbor is sheltered from three sides and good for all weather.

Call the Marina at (360) 376-3037 . If your out on the water , you can hail us at VHF Channel 78a.

Rosario Resort

A small marina with marine fuel, water, showers and pumpout available. With moorage fee you get four passes to the spa and swimming pools, each additional pass is 10$ and worth it. Mooring buoy's are outside the breakwater an exposed to southerly winds.   The resort is very busy in high season, July, August and September, call ahead or book online for reservations.

We had a wonderful happy hour in the bar at the end of  september; a great way to enjoy the view and finish the day after a trip to the hot tub.
