We loved our tour with Sail Monterey! Our captain was friendly and helpful. We saw sea otters and seals. They were able to accommodate our group with a very short notice. We would definitely use them again!

The happy hour cruise was perfect! Short and sweet. Happening before sunset, it was the perfect time to be out on the water. Captain Kiwi and the crew were beyond friendly and so kind tp help me book a last minute trip. I am so appreciative that they were able to take me on such short notice. I will be sailing with them again when I return to the area!

Great experience. Short cruise but thoroughly enjoyable. Smaller boat than some but more easier in many ways as a result.Friendly captain, answered all questions and very knowledgeable. Snacks and drinks available on board in the price. Will certainly go on this again when in Monterey
