Charters Offered
SKIPPERED CHARTERS -- Join us on a super holiday on a cruising yacht in exotic ports in the Pacific northwest.  Wildrose Charters has been offering skippered charters for over 15 years and our clients have come back year after year to enjoy life at sea with Cap'n Dave and Brenda aboard the Good Idea, our Yamaha 35 foot sailboat.  This boat is fully equipped with all the required, recommended and creature comfort equipment to make your cruise most enjoyable.  Do as much or as little as you want as we cruise from port to port.  This is an excellent way for you to refamiliarize yourself with cruising, build up your experience and confidence or introduce significant others to this wonderful lifestyle.  Cap'n Dave keeps you safe and comfortable  (has the highest of qualifications in the CYA Learn to Cruise Standards) and has an exemplary record of entertaining, seeking out the finest restaurants and showing you a great time on the ocean.  Good Idea will accommodate up to five others in addition to Cap'n Dave.  All breakfasts, lunches, snacks, some suppers and drinks are included in the charter.  Most of the time we will be berthed overnight  in a port with easy access to a fine dining, shopping and other attractions (for the non-sailors).  

For times, costs and availability of charters, see our Cruising Venues.  

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT CRUISES --   Prime Weekends Book Early -- plan a 4 Day cruise right now!     Join us for an extended weekend and we'll take you away from all those woes back at home with healthy injections of island life while cruising in some of the world's most spectacular ports in the Pacific northwest.  This cruise is similar to the Skippered Charter only with a larger emphasis on fine dining, entertainment and relaxation.  Most of the time we will be berthed overnight  in a port with easy access to a fine dining, shopping and other attractions (for the non-sailors).  All breakfasts, lunches, snacks,  and non-alcoholic drinks are included in the charter.  All you supply is your bedroll, your appetites and your curiosity; we'll take care of the rest!!!  Warning:  Past participants advise you to bring some looser clothing for the end of the cruise.  

See our Cruising Venues to obtain costs and availability of these cruises.  

DAY EXPERIENCES -- Am I a Sailor?  Do I really want to get involved in Sailing?  Try it for a day before you commit.  If you are not sure if you want to get into the sport of sailing and cruising on the larger boats, join us for a day and we can certainly give you an idea whether this is a lifestyle you wish to pursue. Day trips can be arranged in any port of call during our free time.  See Cruising Venues for costs and availability.

 WARNING:  Cap'n Dave advises you that this may be the most expensive little ride you take.  He will not be held responsible for any indebtedness incurred as a result of an introduction to cruising and high cost of actual boat ownership.  Stay tuned for future programs on 'Boat Owners Anonymous' and 'My Significant Other has Strayed'.
