Sailing with Puget Sound’s tides and currents

Why you should always incorporate tides and currents into your trip planning

South Puget Sound has plenty to offer the adventurous sailor, including tons of anchorages and a healthy amount of marine life.

You don’t have to go far to find a great anchorage for your sailboat.

James Island State Marine Park is accessible by boats only, making it one of the quieter stops in the San Juan’s during the summer.

Famous for the dinosaur fossil researchers found, this island in the San Juans still leaves plenty for sailors to discover.

You sail to the San Juans to get away, but sometimes you need a bit of modern life. You can find that at Roche Harbor.

Mystery Bay State Marine Park is a lovely, quiet sanctuary for mariners who enjoy paddling and bird-watching.

Why this nearby state park is one of our favorite stops.

Anchoring in stormy weather takes special care. Learn what to do to ensure a safe night on the hook anytime of year.
