What To Expect
We'll board the yacht near the entrance gate and do a quick safety briefing. We then motor out of the harbor, seeing sea lions and otters as we go. Once out of the harbor, we'll hoist sails and sail out onto Monterey Bay and feel the wind and salt air. Watch for abundant wildlife, including whales and dolphins. Enjoy refreshing snacks and beverages as we glide silently through the water, with no engine noise or fumes. Relax and take in the beauty all around. Take a turn on the helm if you feel so inclined. After sailing in the open bay, we'll follow the coastline back to the harbor, drop sails, and return to the dock.
