Sail Monterey
Discover the beauty of sailing the Monterey Bay. Every day we motor through the harbor to see the sea otters, seals, and sea lions. Once out of the harbor, we set our sails and turn off the engine. Sit back and enjoy some complimentary beverages and a snack while you participate in true eco-tourism and use wind power to explore the Monterey Bay. What are you waiting for? Come Sail Monterey!

We did this sunset cruise & it was very romantic, great for couples. Recommend the “lay down pad” for front end views. Doesn’t go out too far & the land with sunset is very nice.

I took my husband out for his birthday. Our guide was very friendly and offered refreshments multiple times throughout the cruise and pointed out wildlife (otters). Our guide played relaxing music and it was overall a good time and great experience. I highly recommend Sail Monterey!

Very lovely experience watching the sunset on the bay, it is about 1.5 hours long, the right amount of time. Refreshments and snacks are offered throughout the ride. It is in relatively small groups which I can appreciate.

It was so beautiful and romantic, sailing at the ocean and watching sealife. It was a bit windy but we had a very skilled girl captain who took care of everything . Thank you , totally recommended !
