Enhance your luxury superyacht charter and enjoy an unforgettable experience of breathtaking natural beauty in the pristine waters of the Pacific Northwest.
Offering a dramatic backdrop of snow-capped mountains and forested islands layered to the horizon, the Northwest Pacific and its serene waterways couldn't be a better place to watch whales emerging out of the waterline.
Orca whales live, play, and raise their young in the waters of the Haro Strait near San Juan Island and are regularly seen roaming around Friday Harbor, Roche Harbor, Orca island and Lopez island. They can easily cover 100 miles in a day so having a guide who can give the best tips and tricks on the whale's location is important to ensure you get the most out of your trip.
There are whales here all year round however, peak season is considered the summer months of mid-June through early September. During this time, you can expect to see a variety of whales from orcas and minke to humpbacks.
The Salish Sea ecosystem is rich with wildlife so always keep a lookout for more enchanting animals such as seals, sea lions and river otters as they too enjoy playing in these waters.
Why not make your experience even more breathtaking by selecting an evening sunset whale watching tour. Start your unique venture at around 9 pm and settle onboard for a romantic and outstanding premier view of the Pacific Northwest sunset. That combined with whales leaping from the water's edge promises to be a truly unforgettable experience.
If you want to incorporate whale-watching into your charter itinerary, please speak with your preferred yacht charter broker.
Alternatively, you can view the entire fleet of superyachts available for Northwest American yacht charters.
