Classic yacht MV Discovery

Crewed yacht charters & cruises in the San Juan Islands

Charter the luxury yacht MV Discovery and cruise the San Juan Islands at your own pace!

A crewed yacht charter on the classic yacht MV Discovery is an unforgettable way to explore the San Juan Islands. Port Townsend, Roche Harbor and Friday Harbor lie within an easy day cruise from Seattle, Anacortes or Bellingham. San Juan Island marinas offer moorage for the evening allowing guests time to explore sidewalk markets, local art galleries, boutiques and cafes. Alternatively we can customize a cruise itinerary that focuses on the uninhabited islands, marine life and natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Most of our guests enjoy a little of both and on a private yacht charter the choice is yours.

Accomodations

Discovery accommodates 10-12 guests in 6 comfortable staterooms. The yacht’s spacious layout and 4 common areas ensure you can always find a quiet space to relax.

Best time to Visit!

Discovery is available for charter in Seattle, Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands from mid September to early May each year. We think this is also the best time to visit. In the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, the San Juans see the sun on an average 247 days a year and are a popular and often crowded cruising destination. The Indian summers (especially September and October) as well as the beautiful spring weather offer a rare opportunity to experience this island archipelago away the crowds and is our favorite time of the year.

Keep in Mind: Discovery spends the summer cruising/chartering in Southeast Alaska.
