What Others Have Said:

This trip was everything we expected and more! You shared your knowledge as well as your boat with great enthusiasm. I can't believe we ate so much and it was so good! Everything was just perfect. Thank you for your kindness, fun and friendship. Lois and Jerry, New Mexico

What a wonderful time, I have never seen such beauty before, this place is magical, more unexpected surpises than I ever imagined. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality! Good luck with your business. See you next year! RJ, California

I could not have had a better 2 days while "roughing" it in the San Juan Islands. I have always wanted to visit the area and watch the whales and kayak. I'm glad Sarah convinced me to come sailing - it was a new and glorious experience, thank you for sharing your experiences, your beautiful kayaks, delicious food and the boat! Jeanne, Pennsylvania

Thank you for a fantastic honeymoon and a great introduction to the adventures of sailing. We are very thankful to have had such a great couple be a part of our lives together. The accommodations were great, the food was super, and the scenery spectacular. Thanks again for a wonderful and very memorable week! Dave and Michele, Washington

What a wonderful time. Wildlife (much more than whales,) hikes, sunsets, great food... my girls want to adopt you! Our sailing adventure was "the heart of the heart of the heart" of our vacation! Candice, Bill, Sarah and Bert Illinois

Thank you so much for a fabulous trip - Beautiful Scenery, Wonderful Food, and nothing like being rocked to sleep by the soft lapping water. It has been the most relaxing vacation - and we needed a break. Hiking on Stuart Island, and kayaking the pristine waters... most of all a break from civilization - no people - no phones ringing- how awesome!! Kari and Nick, Oregon

One sign of a good vacation is when a short getaway seems like a long one. Another is how quickly you feel "at home." Happily both (and more) were present during our 3 days aboard the Pelican. You guys are on to something very unique here with the combination of floating B & B, local knowledge, sailing, kayaking and home cooked sustenance. The bad news for you is, we had such a great time, you're going to see more of us (literally)... possible next summer! Matt and Ben, California

I think I am in danger of making this an annual habit! Being out on the water and away from my cares is like medicine. The experience is unforgettable - as is the food that is forthcoming from that little galley! Kim, Kentucky

Thanks for such a good long lasting experience. Paul and I will have a lifetime of memories. We enjoyed your friendship and great meals! Rick and Paul, Colorado

It's a whole other world here at the edge of land - one that is older, gentler, and soothing. The sunset on Stuart Island, the bioluminescence that looked like underwater stars, moonrise over the harbor, the sheets filling with wind (my first time sailing!), clouds and sun reflected in water on a slow paddle - all of it brought me to the edge of forever. The combination of Nature's grandeur and your own spirit and lifestyle serving as reminders that life is beautiful and anything is possible. I can't thank you enough for sharing the riches of your experiences and environment with us over the course of these three unforgettable days. Thanks a million. Rob, Washington

The time on your boat was the highlight of our summer. We really enjoyed you two and all the cool stuff we did on board. We loved the food, the menu fit us and the kids. We felt safe and in good hands aboard the Pelican and in the kayaks. The boys had a very memorable experience and have bragged about the trip to their friends. The Harth Family, California

Just wanted to say thanks for the great trip to the San Juans. It was a perfect setting for me to pop the question, and I came out looking like a stud. The sunset kayak right after I proposed was awesome. Really, a great trip with so many great memories- just what I hoped for. We'll be back again. Dave, California

"To beginnings and to endings!" Thank you so much for a fabulous honeymoon and hopefully equally great end-of-the-season. The kayaking and sailing were great fun (we made 10 knots!) Thanks for letting us be part of the action! Let's share champagne and strawberries again someday! Thanks for letting us get our hands dirty, for teaching us how to read the wind and for giving us some amazing recipes - but more than that thanks for starting our married life out with a great adventure. I lift my glass of wine to you both and say thank you for not making us feel like clients but much more like friends. La Hyim - To Life! Will and Lelach,Missouri

Your sailing/kayaking/hiking excursions are truly a step above the competition. We enjoy several adventure trips every year (including a 9 day Caribbean sailing cruise last month)and found the Blue Otter accommodations, food, scenery, equipment and "can do" attitude to all be superb! From the awesome salmon dinner on our first evening to the beautiful hand-crafted kayaks to the front row seats for the Independence Day fireworks (on Sunday,2 July), I don't know how things could have been better. Even the daily rain showers were to be expected and just made the sunshine that much more special. How about that 9 knots under sail?! Group Tour, Texas

This was a timely wonderful trip in so many ways! Brandon and Shannon were wonderful hosts and took such good care of us, ensuring we were happy and well fed! The food was fabulous and the company, sailing, kayaking was glorious - thank you so much for a healing trip and returning me to the wonders of the sea - Thanks for the intro to the San Juans! Jami, Kentucky

This world needs more connections more times where each help each other. Know that your long hours of sanding, scraping of preparing this beautiful Pelican allow you to give us and thru your efforts show us the way to use our resources more carefully - how to listen more to what surrounds us at all times. Feel the chi, use it wisely. Steve, Washington

Well, since I didn't know what to expect - you both sure out did any expectations!! Eric and I loved every minute of our trip, thanks to you two. We loved seeing the sea lion (a rare experience) and the kayaking, of course. But best of all - we loved sharing stories and wine, laughter and more stories! We hope to join you on another (longer?) trip! Shawna and Eric, Minnesota

What an incredible beautiful 2 days! We are delighted to have found your website so that we could take advantage of this opportunity to sail & cruise the islands, watch a kingfisher dive for lunch, examine a purple starfish close-up & observe the many deer and birds from the kayaks. You are a great team as host & hostess - Thank you for a wonderful time. Pete and Cynthia, Oregon

I said I needed an adventure, needed something for my spirit. This trip filled my needs, wants and desires. I walk away very content. Thank you! I don't want to leave.

Betty, Colorado
