Do the whalewatching boats in the San Juans use a standard channel to
communicate? My understanding is that they cooperate so the industry
as a whole is more successful, and it would be handy to listen in when
sailing or kayaking.


My understanding is they pool for a spotter plane. I don't know if
that would affect channel options.


VHF comms band is 118.00 to 135.975. They might fly a CB or marine
band radio for the purpose though.
