It happens every year... some boat owners decide that they're finally ready to reclaim their boat for more personal use. Honestly, who can blame them?! The great news is that in most cases, Anacortes Yacht Charters is able to put new boats into the fleet to help fill in the gaps. 2012 brings with it some pretty impressive fleet additions.

Sail
35' Island Packet Catamaran "Excalibur"
39' Delher "Wild Redhead"
40' Calibur "Harriet Tubman"

Power
32' Nordic Tug "Louise Ann"
39' Bayliner "El Nido"
