Captain Dutch and his dog, Nila, were the perfect crew for a fabulous sailing experience. The clouds burned off and we saw some Rizo dolphins and plenty of sea lions and otters. Dutch's knowledge of the eco system and sea life are excellent. Getting to sail the boat was fantastic. It's the best deal in Monterey. Bill & Colleen

I got a great deal on Groupon and went on a one hour tour with my friend. Even though it was overcast and a little drizzly, this was still beautiful ride! Our captain made us feel very comfortable in the boat and even let us steer for the majority of the trip. You get a great view of the entire... More

No trip to Monterey is complete without seeing it from the bay, and sailing is the perfect way. When you've cleared the harbor and the sail goes up, the sound of the lapping waves and occasional gull just melt the stress away. The mountains in the distance are particularly pretty on a slightly overcast day. The boat was clean, comfortable,... More

My wife, our college-age kids, and I had a great time with Sailor John and and crew. He offers a friendly and knowledgeable way to experience sailing and see the Monterey coast line including some local wildlife. After bouncing around on a productive whale watching trip in the morning, sailing in the afternoon was a relaxing way to round-out the... More

We had an absolute wonderful time sailing with Sailor John and his intern. It was a great experience for my family. My 12 year old son had a blast when Sailor John taught him how to steer the sailboat. He thought he was the coolest kid on earth!!! Lol It was so quiet and relaxing on the water. My 4... More

From beginning to end, Sailor John gave my family a great experience. My kids were a little hesitant (afraid) of being out on the bay after a scary experience a few years ago in Oregon. Over the phone, Sailor John taught me how to read the NOAA data so I could show my kids the forecasted wave heights for the... More

My friend and I really wanted to try sailing while in the Monterey Bay area. We were nervous of being seasick, but the captain had plenty of experience handling a boat and made sure we were comfortable. Captain John was very friendly and told us stories the entire time. He pointed out wildlife and kept a comfortable conversation going. I... More

After a few days in Big Sur, we needed something to break up the long trip back to Roseville for our 9 and 12 year old daughters (and Mom and Dad). A wonderful sail with Capt John was just the ticket! Safety first but a beautiful day and a fun, informative 2 hours - Kitty Kathryn wants to be a... More

Captain John and Boss were both very thoughtful, helpful and kind. They made sure that we were comfortable and safe. Even though the evening was chilly we thoroughly enjoyed our time with them sailing the Monterey Bay. The sights, sunset and feel of the ocean under us is something we will never forget. Not only did Captain John provide a... More
