Skip the seasickness, dawn wake-up and high price of a commercial pelagic boat trip and enjoy observing marine birds on the Keystone-Port Townsend Ferry. We will bird from the front deck of the boat for the best viewing so expect to stand for the entire crossing (~35 minutes) and have a strong and possibly chilly breeze.

The trip is limited to eight, please register ahead.
