Planning your transportation to 365 Charters is simple and convenient. Because we operate Puget Sound salmon charters and bass fishing trips in Western Washington, guests can choose from three nearby airports. Therefore, you can select the location that best fits your schedule and travel preferences.

First, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) serves as the region’s largest airport. SEA sits just south of downtown Seattle and about 30 to 60 minutes from many of our launch locations, depending on traffic. In addition, SEA offers the widest range of airline options. Major carriers such as Alaska Airlines, Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines operate daily flights. As a result, travelers from across the country often find competitive fares and flexible schedules through SEA.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is a great option if you plan on staying in the Seattle area. It is also the closest airport to our marina, which is Shilshole Bay Marina.
Transportation Options For Airlines to Puget Sound Fishing Locations
Next, Paine Field (PAE) provides a smaller and more relaxed travel experience. Paine Field sits in Everett, just north of Seattle, and closer to many of our Puget Sound departure points. Consequently, guests often appreciate the shorter security lines and quick terminal access. Currently, Alaska Airlines offers regular commercial service from PAE to several western U.S. cities. Therefore, this airport works especially well for anglers traveling from the West Coast.
Paine Field Airport is the second closest airport to Shilshole Bay Marina and is a great option if you plan on staying north of Seattle. This is also a great option if you plan on bass fishing with us on Lake Steve, Lake Goodwin or Lake Whatcom.
In addition, Bellingham International Airport (BLI) serves visitors coming from the north or from select western destinations. Bellingham sits near the Canadian border and about 90 minutes north of Seattle. Meanwhile, BLI offers service from carriers such as Alaska Airlines and Allegiant Air. Because BLI operates on a smaller scale, travelers often enjoy easier parking and faster arrivals.
Bellingham International Airport is the best location if you plan on staying near Oak Harbor, Bellingham and especially if you are fishing with us on Lake Whatcom for smallmouth bass.
After landing at any of these airports, you can rent a vehicle or arrange rideshare transportation. Then, you can reach your hotel or launch site with straightforward highway access. Additionally, I can provide general travel guidance once your trip is booked.
Ultimately, transportation to 365 Charters remains convenient from multiple directions. Whether you choose SEA for maximum airline options, PAE for proximity and ease, or BLI for northern access, you can arrive ready for an unforgettable Puget Sound fishing adventure.
