Our Story

Founded in 1979, Anacortes Yacht Charters was started by Jim & Lois Shea. It was Jim's second career and they operated it as a family business for almost 10 years. In 1989, Dan and Sherri Meyer bought AYC when the Shea's were ready to retire. With a passion for boating and a pure love for the Pacific Northwest, the Meyers took an active ownership role and grew the fleet to an impressive size. Ready for retirement themselves, Dan and Sherri sold the business to their daughter and son-in-law Kristin and Mike Lovell in 2004.

Among those who know charter companies, there has been high regard for AYC since its inception in 1979. AYC has successfully aspired to set the standard for bareboat chartering worldwide in the areas of service, boat quality, innovative and streamlined procedures as well as attention to detail.

Most notably, AYC's customer service is second to none. We are proud of our history as a family-owned yacht charter company, but we are hardly a "mom and pop" business. AYC is the undisputed industry leader in the Pacific Northwest, with an exclusive charter fleet approaching 85 vessels.

Located in Anacortes, the "Gateway to the San Juan Islands", Anacortes Yacht Charters has established itself as the leading charter company with the largest selection of power and sail boats available for charter in the San Juans and Gulf Islands. You may decide to charter as far north as Desolation Sound or Alaska, with our friendly reservation staff waiting to make your yachting vacation fulfill all your expectations.
