About Crewed Motor Yacht NORTHERN LIGHT
NORTHERN LIGHT is a Hatteras 74 motor yacht combining timeless design with modern comfort for Pacific Northwest cruising. Her three cabins accommodate six guests in refined spaces where teak interiors and generous glazing create an inviting atmosphere throughout. The layout flows naturally from the elegant salon to outdoor entertaining areas, making her ideal for family gatherings or intimate voyages amongst Washington's island archipelago.
The flybridge with cushioned seating offers panoramic sightlines across Friday Harbor and beyond, whilst the aft alfresco dining area provides the perfect setting for chef-prepared meals at anchor. A dedicated foredeck sunbathing area and shaded interior spaces cater to varying moods. Private ensuite cabins ensure restful nights, whether anchored in remote coves or near civilisation.

The Charter Experience
Charter NORTHERN LIGHT with a dedicated three-person crew led by an experienced captain who designs each day around your preferences. Explore the San Juan Islands' sheltered waters, anchorages near Orcas Island, and the quieter appeal of Hunter Bay. Your onboard chef prepares daily meals whilst you enjoy rendezvous diving, tender excursions, and water sports including kayaking, stand-up paddleboards, and the underwater video system. Days blend unhurried cruising with active exploration, from wildlife spotting to maritime heritage discovery.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical seven-day charter departs Anacortes and establishes early anchorage near the San Juan Islands' major islands. Days alternate between protected cruising to scenic locations (Sucia Island, Stuart Island), intimate dining at anchor under evening light, and active pursuits via tender and kayak. Mid-charter might include a passage to Orcas Island's waters or the quiet appeal of Hunter Bay, where you can deploy all water toys. The final days allow leisure time near Friday Harbor before return to base.
