Schooner Zodiac sails out of Fairhaven in Bellingham, just a few steps from the Amtrak train which will take you back to Seattle, or North to Vancouver - so you don't even need to drive here or back. Note: If planning on making train or bus arrangements, please go to www.amtrak.com.
The Schooner Zodiac does not include train reservations in this itinerary.
