About Swell Sailing

Come sail the sound with us! We offer sailing charters departing from our homeport Rosario Harbor in the heart of Eastsound on Orcas Island, WA. We cruise the waters on our Ranger 29 Sailboat named “Dovetail”. 

​

Dovetail offers a safe and comfortable way to host your group on the water. Whether you're looking to sail or just cruise while the sun sets, we are happy to share the beauty of the San Juan's with you.

​

Eastsound is an exceptional place to sail. With mountains on either side the wind funnels through providing a breeze when other locations don't.

The Experience

Whether you're an experienced sailor or new to boating its our goal to offer you a fun and comfortable experience on the water. We love it when our guests are interested in learning and getting involved in helping to sail the boat. We also understand sitting back, relaxing and taking in the view. 

Kids love sailing and have a great time on the boat with us.
Our Ranger Sailboat is comfortable and has a fun bean bag chair that sits on the front of the boat for passengers.

The Sights

Its very common to see harbor seals, otters, bald eagles, Sea Lions, porpoise, sea stars and jelly fish. Many whales swim the waters around the San Juan Islands and its possible for our paths to cross. If your goal is to see whales we recommend going on a whale watching trip on a fast boat. 

There is lots of marine wildlife you can see from our sailing charters. We always have a pair of binoculars on board.
