Bellingham Sailing Travel Tips

  • Rent a watercraft. Everything from kayaks to yachts is available.

  • Hop on a ferry, sea taxi, or speedy powerboat and head to the San Juan Islands. The islands are prime ports of call for sailboats and motor vessels.

South of downtown Bellingham, near the Bellingham Cruise Terminal, which is where Alaska ferries dock, is the historic community of Fairhaven. Fairhaven's old brick commercial buildings and interesting shops are a highlight of a visit to Bellingham. Read More
