Private Charters

Outer Island Excursions offers private charters for groups as small as one person up to over 200 people.  Our large fleet offers the flexibility and range needed to explore the most remote reaches of the San Juan Islands and deep into Canadian waters. We can pick up your group from any island in the San Juans, Anacortes, Bellingham, and beyond. Rates are dependent on number of guests, departure location, the length of charter, and customizations.

Outer Island prides itself on its high percentage of whale sightings. We travel all around the San Juans and even into the Canadian Gulf Islands. Come with us on our high-speed fleet of boats and view the whales with our knowledgeable crew. We recommend 4 hours for the best chance of success.

Lighthouse Tour

Patos Island, Turn Point, Cattle Point, Lime Kiln, and many more historic lighthouses still operate today as navigational beacons to ships in the Salish Sea.  A tour focused on the local history is a great way to experience the dynamic scenery of our area.

Bird Watching

Enjoy a search for pelagic birds in obscure coves and backwaters of the San Juan Islands. Search for Tufted Puffins, Harlequin Ducks, Bald Eagles, Black Oystercatchers, Rhinoceros Auklets, Marbled and Ancient Murrelets, many gull species, and much more!  

Wedding Celebrations

Wedding celebrations are better on the water.  Come celebrate with Outer Island Excursions before or after your ceremony!

Lake Party

Seasoned fishermen know you need time and patience for your best chance of success. We recommend at least 3-4 hours for bottom fishing, 4-5 hours for salmon fishing, and 4-5 hours for a combo of bottom fishing and crabbing. Multiple activities are possible, please call us for more information. Learn more

Fishing

Crabbing

Dropping pots for Dungeness crab is a great addition to a bottom fishing charter. It is especially great for kids since it has that same thrill of opening up a present when you see the pot come back to the surface! We recommend at least 4-5 hours for a combination fishing & crabbing trip.
