North Shore Charters operates the newest, swiftest and most stable charter vessel in the san Juan Islands.  The advantage to our passengers is that it enables us a substantially greater nautical range with greatly reduced travel time compared to all of the tour boats in the San Juan’s, allowing more “time on scene” with viewable wild life. This effectively maximizes you dollars spent by allowing you to simply experience more.

North Shore Charters is very proud to say our Vessel the El Jefe is powered by the technologically advance Volkswagen Marine Diesel Engines and fueled by ecco-friendly biodiesel making it a quiet reliable, fume free ride while producing very low carbon emissions. And thats just green goodness!!

Whale Watching tours are not available from Deer Harbor Marina or Rosario Resort on Orcas Island

For that we gladly refer you to Deer Harbor Charters out of Deer Harbor Marina. 360 376 5989

Whether this is your first time to the San Juan Islands or you’re a long time resident, taking a private boat tour is the best way to experience the majestic San Juan Islands.  North Shore Charters offers the highest quality experience available.  We blend over 20 years experience with intimate knowledge of the San Juan Archipelago and your vacation goals to offer you truly memorable experience.

All of our tours are private and exclusive to your desires.  We will do our best to accommodate your vacation  schedule. We do not mix groups or go on a routine route. Every trip is a new experience where we’re driving the boat but you are the navigator.
