Great family trip idea - Amazing experience for a family with toddlers. Kids got to see some animals while enjoying the sailing experience in a safe way. Capt Paul was very friendly and accommodating to our large family.

Don’t Miss This! - From the warm greetings by the staff, to the impeccably clean and new boat we were on… everything was fantastic. Cold beer on the cruise, beautiful scenery. It’s a well run small business and I highly recommend it.

Great view of wildlife - The captain took us up close to the seals, otters and birds. Very enjoyable and relaxing. The weather was a little cool and windy when we went, and I wish I'd brought a warmer jacket.

Captain Paul is smooth sailing - We took the Sail Monterey 85 min cruise in the Monterey Bay with Captain Paul leading the trip. Initially, we had to reschedule because of rough waters, but had no problem choosing between an automatic refund and the option to reschedule. The call came early in the day with an apology regarding the cancelation. The trip we had was just long enough and relaxing. Paul offered drinks and snacks at the beginning, middle, and end of the excursion. There was no mention of the tip box located near the wheel, though we were happy to tip Captain Paul.
