      Old Fisherman’s Wharf
    
  
  
      Plan to park 45 min BEFORE departure to avoid missing the boat. There is a large pink gift shop at the entrance to the wharf. Walk down until you reach Crab House, then make a right. Walk towards the fisherman statue and turn left. Our building is blue and has a SAIL MONTEREY sign on top of it.

        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.

        Worth it! - Well-run, clean boat, polite and friendly captain, and great close-up views of sea lions, seals, sea otters, pelicans, and more.  We also learned interesting things about the marina and its boats.

        Updated review: A Sunset Cruise Without the Sunset? - Update: Captain Paul kindly reached out to me and graciously offered to make up for the inconvenience. I truly appreciate his prompt and thoughtful response. I'm very grateful to have this issue resolved so quickly and with such kindness.
------------------------
We were excited for a magical sunset cruise—only to be left disappointed when thick clouds stole the show. But the real letdown? The lack of customer care. When we reached out for options, the response was shockingly unhelpful: "Your best bet is to dispute the charge with your bank."  
A little flexibility or goodwill could have saved the day—after all, bad weather happens. But instead of solutions, we were handed a hassle. The cruise itself might have been enjoyable, but the company’s indifference left us with a sour taste. Save your money (and your patience) for a business that actually values its customers.  
*Pro tip:*If you’re booking a weather-dependent experience, double-check the refund policy—because this company won’t have your back.
