If you’re planning to cruise your boat to SE Alaska for the first time, making the passage between Prince Rupert and Ketchikan can be tricky, but definitely doable. Two important things you’ll want to prepare for are: going through customs and finding emergency hidey-holes (otherwise known as Plan B). We cruisers from Fidalgo Yacht Club in Anacortes, WA, are veterans of this passage, and we’d like to pass on some helpful hints.

About Us

Fidalgo Yacht Club is best known as a cruising club, whose members share a passion for boats, the Pacific Northwest inland waterways, and a sense of comradery. Safe boat handling is a priority. Summer will find us on the water from Anacortes to SE Alaska. Wintertime we gather together in our clubhouse to gather knowledge from dinner speakers and educational “bar chats”. We cruise and learn together and welcome new members whether a seasoned mariner or first-time boater.

A quarter of our membership has made the trek from Anacortes to SE Alaska, often multiple times. Half of us have cruised north of Cape Caution, and almost all of us have cruised the Broughtons. All these cruises were either solo or in small groups.
