NORTHERN LIGHT
About NORTHERN LIGHT
Best for: friends and small groups chasing the Pacific Northwest, with couples and multi-generational families a close second.
NORTHERN LIGHT is a 74-foot Hatteras motor yacht based in Seattle, and her standout feature is straightforward access to the San Juan Islands: a cruising ground of forested archipelagos, wildlife-rich channels, and sheltered anchorages that rewards a boat with range and a full crew to handle the details. Built in 1987 and run by a three-person professional crew including Captain Wes Heinmiller, she carries up to six guests across three well-appointed staterooms.
The toy list is built for active itineraries: an 18-foot Novurania tender with 115 hp, a 13-foot Boston Whaler, four kayaks, and two paddleboards mean guests can explore coves and shorelines independently. A cockpit soft-tub Jacuzzi brings it back down to comfortable when the day is done. Three cabins for six guests means nobody is sharing unless they choose to, which suits families and close friend groups equally well.

Guest reviews
"Dear Wes & Crew, Thanks so much for treating up to five wonderful days cruising around the San Juans. Your careful attention to every. Detail for the sake of our comfort, safety, and enjoyment did not go unnoticed. The means were delicious, by the way; the cabins were very comfy; and the overall hospitality unmatched. We’ll be back, if you’ll have us!" – Charter Guest, San Juan Islands (2025)
"I spoke with the family and they were delighted with the yacht, crew, and area."
"I'm giving Wes, the boat and your company 10's across the board. We had a great time. Wes was very professional. The boat was very well kept for a yacht of its age. Your service was also outstanding. Thank you for making our experience such a good one."
