About waggoner guided flotillas
Waggoner offers an exciting program of flotilla trips to some of the best Pacific Northwest recreational boating areas. Our experienced flotilla leaders share topics with participants along the way as diverse as selecting weather windows, timing passages through tidal rapids, anchoring, managing a stern-tie for your boat, and route planning. Social gatherings with new-found friends at happy hour, sharing wildlife viewing, scenic vistas and glaciers, or discovering quaint villages and soaking in hot springs offer unforgettable memories.
Boaters use their own vessels in this program, and groups usually consist of 7-10 boats. Waggoner Flotillas are open to boats of various sizes and speeds, both power and sail.
Waggoner Flotilla trips are planned around an itinerary with activities and helpful instruction throughout the journey. Destinations along the way include stops at villages, towns, and historic sites involving both anchoring and mooring at marina docks. Registered participants are provided with resources, including the latest Waggoner Cruising Guide, Ports and Passes, Douglass Exploring Guidebooks, and beautiful foldout planning maps. Additionally, the program offers seminar courses conducted in the months prior to departure to develop the skills needed for a confident passage home.
For the 2027 season, Waggoner is leading flotilla groups to Southeast Alaska and to the Broughton region of British Columbia. Waggoner Flotillas usually depart Anacortes, WA in early-May. Optional late season groups depart Anacortes in mid-June. Flotilla size is usually limited to about 10 boats and fill quickly.
