About

• “Aura” is a beautiful 1948 wooden sloop, with a cockpit that will seat six comfortably.

• A typical San Juan Islands day private sailing trip, on AURA with a nice windy day, starts in Deer Harbor on Orcas Island and continues through the Wasp Islands, across San Juan Channel to San Juan Island, back across the Channel and around Jones Island, then through Wasp Passage between Crane and Shaw Islands, into West Sound, then through narrow Pole Pass and back to Deer Harbor.

• The waters we sail in here are very calm and protected from large waves. Seals are often seen, sometimes porpoises, ospreys and eagles, whales rarely. You can bring whatever you want to eat and drink.

• Non-certified sailing instruction is included if you desire. Steering the boat and handling the ropes is a big part of the experience, but if you just want to relax and enjoy the view, you can. We highly recommend you stay overnight at one of the many fine lodgings available on Orcas Island, to give you more time to explore its wonders. The top of Mt. Constitution, an hour’s drive away, is a must-see for the tremendous view.

• On a Private trip, your party will be the only passengers. There is a limit of six passengers of any age or size. Sorry, no dogs on board, please. “Aura” is not wheelchair accessible. Trips longer than three hours may be available, for another $50/hour for the boat and skipper. No more than eight hours total.

• Captain Ward Fay has been skippering professionally since 2001. He is looking forward to sharing his love of sailing with you. To contact Ward for more information, call 360-376-5581, or email wardfay@rockisland.com.
