Sucia Island Water Taxi

Among the northernmost of the San Juan Islands, this horseshoe-shaped island is accessible only by boat.  We offer a water taxi service for those adventurers who would like to discover the island leaving from our location on Orcas Island.

​

Sucia Island State Park is a 564-acre marine park with nearly 15 miles of shoreline and features 10 miles of well-maintained hiking trails. Because of the unique shape of the island, most of these trails hug the coast and offer breathtaking views of the rugged shoreline and odds are good that you will see seals, sea lions, and a wide variety of birds.

​

​

Water Taxi Service starts at $200 one way for a group of up to 6 people

This includes one backpack (think airplane carry-on) per person.

Addition gear and passengers can be accommodated, but will require a larger vessel and incur additional costs.

​

All water taxis are private charters
