Kitsap Peninsula - Boating

The Kitsap Peninsula divides the Puget Sound in half. Towns like Bremerton, Silverdale, and Poulsbo sit on protected coves, and are bound to life on the water. Much of the business in western Washington around Seattle and the Puget Sound revolves around maritime activities, and Kitsap Peninsula is no exception.

With so much water to choose from, it should come as no surprise that so many visitors go for views from a sea-going vessel. Rent sea-kayaks and navigate around some of the smaller islands, or trim your sails on a bigger boat and anchor for the night in a protected inlet. Washington's ferries are a popular way to see the area, or charter a boat and crew for a few days and enjoy life out of the fast lane.
