Ready to truly unplug? The San Juan Islands are home to some of the most scenic and serene camping spots in the Pacific Northwest—many only accessible by boat.

Just bring your gear, we’ll handle the rest.

Our Versatility
“There’s not enough stars up there. These guys are great. They are local, know the waters, willing to help and down right fun. When your boat is down, like ours; Island Opportunity Charters is a great and reasonable way to get to your cabin or camping. They dropped us off right at our beach, petted our dogs and put up with our unreasonable cat and all the stuff that we could possibly drag over. We would highly recommend them, in fact the question is why do we even have a boat except for crabbing and fishing. Great going guys!”
