The Zodiac is a classic, 160-foot U.S. Coast Guard-certified vessel, operated by a licensed captain and experienced team of volunteer crewmembers. She departs her Bellingham homeport for a variety of public and private charters, as well as day and evening sails from spring through fall, exploring the pristine anchorages of the San Juan Islands and Canadian Gulf Islands. The Zodiac also is an ideal setting for company events, wedding receptions and gatherings of family and friends.
