Itinerary
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!

Was really fun! Host was really friendly and knew a lot about the area and animals! I definitely would recommend.
5Got Lucky and Saw a Whale Tail!
We had a great time with Capt. Vince. He was nice and gave some commentary and answered questions, but our group was pretty chill, and he let everyone enjoy their time. We had good sailing weather and he even took us inland we got to see a juvenile humpback whale, which is rare that close to land!
5Best Sunset Cruise Ever
We loved the sunset cruise we recently took with Captain Vince. The weather was perfect, the scenery amazing and we were taken care of with blankets (if needed), drinks and snacks. This was a birthday gift to my husband, and he had a great time. We also thoroughly enjoyed the music selection on board. We will be back.
5Sunset Sail
The captain was very helpful, the sail was amazing, I would tell everyone you must try a sail at least once in your life, we did 7 pm and the sunset was amazing, I would do it again!
4Pleasant Time on the Bay
Not quite what I had expected but it was still a nice tour. The ride was fun and the sunset was beautiful. Not many drinks options and the only snacks were bagged snack mix, but the captain was great and it wasn't crowded.

Kiwi is an exceptionally talented Captain with a fun personality. We had a fantastic time learning about the sea life and Monterey Bay!

About Monterey & Carmel
Monterey and Carmel share a rugged California peninsula of cypress-lined coast, a famous aquarium, an old Spanish capital and an artists' seaside village.
Monterey stands on the south shore of Monterey Bay in California and was the capital of Alta California under Spain and Mexico. Its historic adobe buildings, including the Custom House, line the old streets near the harbour, while Cannery Row, the former sardine-canning street made famous by John Steinbeck, is now lined with restaurants and shops. The Monterey Bay Aquarium, in a converted cannery, shows the kelp forests and open-sea life of the bay.
