Beautiful Catamaran - 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.

Fun Experience! - My husband and I went and it was a great experience! We saw sea lions pretty up close! We didn’t see any other marine life-but it was worth it to be able to get so close to large numbers of sea lions:)

Highly recommend! - 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!

Incredible service and a beautiful sail. - We had an amazing sail for a special purpose with captan Erin and his assistant Dough who took their time and gave us all full hour even though we were late. It was a beautiful day. We were very happy with our ride.

Very lovely experience... - 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.

Great cruise even without wind or sunset - Exceptional cruise. Although it was a sunset sailing cruise and the clouds did not cooperate, nor did the wind for that matter, the captain (Kiwi?) made it a great cruise anyway. Not much she could do about the weather, but she pointed out numerous wildlife and had plenty of information about them. She told us of the ones that are normally seen and several that are rarely seen in that area. She made it fun even with the complications.

Safe, enjoyable and beautiful cruise. - The Captain kept us on schedule and made sure everyone was comfortable. Beverages and snacks were available. The catamaran has seating for 10-12 people comfortably. My wife enjoyed getting a sing-a-long started with our group, which doesn’t happen very often.
