"Dear Terry, A huge thank you from my Marine Biology class for the opportunity to go whale watching. The students were thrilled and so was their instructor! The highlite for many was to see an orca come straight towards the Island Caper, dive underneath, and then be seen swimming under water before resurfacing. Your generosity is much appreciated! Thanks again." --WWU Marine Biology Class "Dear Island Mariner Cruises and Crew, I wanted to thank you for the wonderful tour you gave our home school group in May. My family had a great time -- and I heard many other families comment on how much they enjoyed the trip. Thank you for taking the extra time with us so we got to see some whales. I also appreciated how the naturalist narrated and kept us informed. Thanks again for making it affordable to families who would not otherwise be able to go. On behalf of Whatcom Home school Association, 'Thank You' and I hope we will see you next year!" --Sandy, Whatcom County ...more testimonials |
We offer a wide variety of cruise opportunities designed to fit your
group's special needs and interests. While the boat is licensed by the
U.S. Coast Guard to carry 149 passengers, we've found that groups of
20 to 120 work best for comfort's sake. While we do not provide food or drink, we will be happy to help you make arrangements with local caterers who will. Prices of group charters vary according to the amount of travel involved, the day of the week, and
the time of the year. While we will take you just about anywhere you
want to go and customize the trip to fit your needs, we offer these
suggestions:
We customize our regular trip for your pleasure. If you want to change
arrival and/or departure times, maybe stop along the way at La
Conner, Friday Harbor
for a visit to the Whale
Museum or Roche
Harbor for lunch, we will make it happen. Just for you. Sunset Cruise
Weddings and Receptions
What better place to tie the knot than the middle of Bellingham Bay? Or anywhere in the San Juan Archipelago? It doesn't get more romantic or memorable than this!
Under cover on the upper deck is an ideal setting for the ceremony. No need to worry about rain.
Business Meetings
Party Cruises Inside Passage Cruise For everything from two-day island vacations to month long cruises up the fabled Inside Passage, we can give you the vacation of a lifetime.
We've found the best trip to be a seven or eight day Inside Passage
cruise to the north end of Vancouver Island. As opposed to merely cruising
through the Inside Passage, our schedule allows us to truly explore
this magnificent area. No one offers a more personal experience.
And believe me, we know some places that are truly "away." It's not uncommon to spend the entire day without encountering another boat. Charming fishing camps constructed on floats, Alert Bay Museum, Campbell River on Vancouver Island, deluxe resorts, and more, all provide ample opportunity for fun time ashore. Other than set departure and return times, these cruises have no specific itinerary. We mold the trips to fit the wishes of our passengers. If you get up in the morning and decide you want to spend the day fishing, that's what we do. If you want to go to the nearest resort for a special lunch or dinner, we do it. If you want to go to the nearest town for shopping, that's where we go. Each trip is unique. Each provides its own special memories. We've been taking people through these waters for over 36 years and know all the nooks and crannies that are most interesting and fun. If you have a special interest, we can tailor the trip to fit. It has been our experience that spring and fall are the finest times for these trips. We encounter fewer boats, fewer tourists, and more natural beauty than can generally be found during the summer. Even those cruise companies that promote their small size as an advantage
can't offer the personal attention we do. You let us know when you'd
like to go and we will organize an adventure custom tailored just for
you.
