Overview

At peak current at over 8 knots (9.5 mph) almost 900 million gallons of water pour through Deception Pass. That’s 50 times more flow that all the rivers in the Puget Sound. You can see why there is a 4.5 foot height difference in the water level from one side of the pass to the other!

But don’t worry, the boat is equipped with latest safety equipment. Captain Brett and crew will ensure safe passage and an entertaining time for all!

The Island Whaler is a New Zealand designed jet drive catamaran. The catamaran style and foil assist ensures a soft and stable ride in any conditions. The open deck seating will give you the best 360° viewing opportunity and interaction with the surrounding elements.

Great way to see the pass! I had gone thru the pass numerous times. I saw things I never had seen before. It was the first time for my wife. She loved it.

Had a wonder trip on the Jet Boat. Just the two of us on the trip as it was a little cold that day. Our crew was great! Funny and informative. Told us about the history of the area and pointed out wildlife - we saw a family of harbor seals. They supplied us with coats because we were chilly. ...

Don't miss this opportunity to go against a 10 knot current under the bridge! The crew were great, the scenery was spectacular and the wildlife was abundant. Great information about the history of the area too. Highly recommend.
