As you cruise in the narrow passages you will see bears feasting on mother nature’s waterfront wildlife of buffets. Killer whales that dance and breach over and over, puffs that land on the swim step off your stern, and eagles that catch their pray less than 30 ft. off your bow. NW cruising is also known as “Mother Nature’s Natural Paradise on Steroids.” You will want to pinch yourself – as it’s hard to believe or image the wild life adventures right around you!
If you have never cruised in the Pacific NW – you’re missing out on an opportunity of a lifetime. We look forward to seeing you in the PNW this next boating season!
