San Juan Islands Boating Guide: Best Routes, Tips, and Weekend Trip Ideas

A Two-Day or Weekend Boat Getaway to the San Juans

But a trip to the islands demands a bit more thinking than your average lake outing or day cruise. Before you load the cooler and cast off lines, you should take a moment to make sure your boat, gear, and expectations all match what a San Juan weekend requires.
