Anacortes, on Fidalgo Island, is the gateway to the San Juan Islands, with Washington State Ferries running from town to the islands.

Anacortes waterways
Cap Sante Marina and Skyline Marina serve boaters, and Deception Pass, with its strong currents, lies to the south. Guemes Channel and Rosario Strait lead to the San Juans.
Boats here stay in the water year round. Strong tidal currents run through Rosario Strait and the islands, so cruisers time passages around the tides. Many boats head out for a week or more at a time, anchoring in island coves, so house batteries carry refrigeration, lights, electronics and anchor windlasses between charges. Solar panels and lithium house banks are popular upgrades. The town’s marinas are busy from spring through fall.
Fishing near Anacortes
Salmon and Dungeness crab are popular. Trawlers, sailboats and cruisers dominate, and Anacortes is a hub for charter boats.
Recommended setups
Houseboats and cruisers
Cruisers and trawlers in Anacortes run big house banks for inverters, refrigeration and electronics. Traditional choices are 6V L16 or golf-cart batteries, or 8D AGMs; lithium banks like the EPOCH 12V 460Ah save weight and recharge faster.
Sailboats and cruising boats
If your sailboat on Fidalgo Bay uses a lot of power at anchor, lithium is worth a look. It provides more usable capacity per pound and accepts charge faster. Before you switch, check that your alternator, charger and solar controller support lithium.
Center consoles and offshore boats
Offshore boats depend on their batteries more than any other boat on Fidalgo Bay: radar, sonar, chartplotters, livewells and VHF all draw power while drifting over a ledge. Size your house battery for a full day of electronics with the engines off, and keep it isolated from the cranking batteries with a switch or combiner. A multi-bank onboard charger keeps every battery topped up at the dock.
Seasons and storage
Cruising boats need house banks for refrigeration and electronics.
The Pacific Northwest has mild, wet weather year round. Many boats stay in the water all year. Keep batteries charged and terminals clean.
Puget Sound and Columbia River boats deal with salt and current. Secure batteries well.

Questions from Washington boaters
My boat stays in the water all year in Anacortes. What should I do about batteries?
Keep the boat on shore power with a smart charger set for your battery chemistry, or use a battery switch to isolate the batteries between trips. Check terminals for corrosion every few months, and test the batteries before the busy season. If you leave the boat unplugged, a lithium battery’s low self-discharge helps it stay ready.
Do you have a store or installer in Anacortes?
No. We ship to Anacortes from our store. Professional installation is a flat $99 per battery ($249 for a 24V or 36V lithium bank) anywhere from Venice to Gainesville, with no travel charge.
How do lead-acid batteries ship?
