Wedding Cruises: A Romantic and Unique Celebration

Imagine exchanging vows against the stunning San Juan Islands backdrop, with the gentle sound of waves lapping against the boat and the sun setting on the horizon. A wedding cruise with Northwest Sailing Adventures offers an intimate and romantic setting beyond the traditional wedding venue. Whether you’re planning a complete wedding ceremony, a simple elopement, or a vow renewal, our team is dedicated to making your day truly special.

For couples looking to elope, there’s nothing more romantic than having Captain Scott, ordained in Washington, officiate your wedding at sea or on a secluded beach on a remote island. With the beautiful San Juan Islands as your backdrop, your wedding will be as unique and personal as your love story. Many waterfront wedding venues in Northwest Washington have docks available for those with more elaborate plans, allowing us to whisk you away on a sailing cruise honeymoon immediately following your wedding and reception. Picture setting sail on your Pacific Northwest wedding cruise—what better way to start your new life together?

Anniversary Cruises: Celebrate Your Love at Sea

Whether celebrating your first anniversary or a milestone like the 25th or 50th, an anniversary cruise with Northwest Sailing Adventures is the perfect way to rekindle the romance and create new memories. Our private yacht, Diminuendo, offers a cozy and intimate setting where you can relax, unwind, and enjoy each other’s company without the distractions of everyday life.

Imagine sailing through the tranquil waters of the San Juan Islands, stopping at secluded coves for romantic beach walks, and enjoying gourmet meals prepared by our onboard chef.

And if you haven’t tied the knot yet, there’s no better place to propose than on deck or a remote beach.
