Skippered Charters


Our US Coast Guard licensed Captain will take your party of up to six passengers on board one of our 14 luxury sailing yachts. Restroom (head) and kitchen (galley)facilities are located below. You can get a feel for sailing on the beautiful Monterey Bay National Sanctuary. During your sail, you're welcome to participate as much as you desire. If you choose to just watch the coastline, and enjoy having our Skipper sail the boat completely, that's fine also.

My family experience with your organization, boat product, and staff was no less than superior. The professionalism, timeliness, boat quality, and helmsman experience/ability to make the entire package well recieved was well executed...enough said. Peter was excellant and a good spokesman for your organization. Again, I "felt the Quality" , being from GE and six-sigma quality culture, that is something you should be proud of. My family will be back, count on it.

Dear Pacific Yachting & Sailing,
My girlfriend Christianne and I have been dating a year and a half. We met at church and have been very much in love this past year. We’d been talking about marriage, but, knowing how much she loves surprises…I wanted our engagement to be unexpected. I told her I would save up for a ring and most likely propose in the Spring of 2007. Having purchased a ring in secret with the help of a good friend, I set the plan in motion. I told her in September that we would be taking a day-trip on Oct. 28th and that it was a surprise. Now all I had to do was plan the perfect proposal…something that would touch her heart in a unique way, and sweep her off of her feet.
Christianne loves the ocean. She loves sail boats, and we’ve often dreamed of owning one in the future. I knew that a proposal on the bow of a sailboat at sunset was just the thing! I found Pacific Yachting and Sailing on the internet, and not only was the location gorgeous…but the price was just right!
She never saw it coming. Even as we boarded, she had no idea I was going to ask her to marry me. She just thought I was being romantic. We enjoyed the bright and beautiful cruise, and when the right moment came…I dropped to one knee and asked her to be my wife. It was glorious! I will never forget that beautiful day.
Thank you Pacific Yachting & Sailing, you made our Engagement Dreams come true!
Sincerely,John J. Wald
