Private charter to & from Friday Harbor

Friday Harbor is the only incorporated town on San Juan Island and the commercial hub of the San Juan Islands, an archipelago in the far northwest corner of Washington. Its ferry landing and marina open onto a walkable town of restaurants, galleries, inns and whale-watching outfitters, and the island beyond is a mix of farms, forests, rocky shoreline and second homes. The economy runs on tourism, real estate, construction and marine services, along with the University of Washington’s Friday Harbor Laboratories, a respected marine science station.

Getting here by ferry from Anacortes means a drive from Seattle, a reservation, and often a long wait in the summer lines, with total travel time that can stretch past four hours. Flying private takes you directly to Friday Harbor Airport, a short walk or drive from the harbor, so an island weekend can start Friday afternoon instead of Saturday. Visitors come to watch orcas and humpback whales from the west side of the island, paddle quiet coves, tour the Pig War sites of the national historical park, and spend unhurried evenings at Roche Harbor.
