Sail with me at Sail Monterey
Your first thing to do in Pacific Grove is to come visit me on the Old Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey! I have lots of fun activities at my office for all to enjoy including our free interactive knot tying station!
Interested in a boat ride? Book a sailing cruise on our new 37 ft catamaran, safe and fun for the whole family! As we set our sails on the majestic Monterey Bay, you will be served a complimentary beverage. Also, we are now serving Monterey Beer from Alvarado Street Brewery!
While cruising, keep your eyes peeled for whales, dolphins, seals, sea otters, and sea lions – the vibrant marine life with whom we share this amazing bay. Most importantly, take in epic views of the Monterey Peninsula and Pacific Grove from a unique perspective while we catch the wind in our sails.
One last note, Sail Monterey also offers sailing lessons, sailboat rentals and powerboat rentals; so we have something to do for everyone!

Explore the Point Pinos Lighthouse
Step back in time with a visit to Point Pinos Lighthouse, one of my absolute favorite places to visit in Pacific Grove. Constructed in 1855, Point Pinos Lighthouse stands as a sentinel of Pacific Grove’s maritime past. With a legacy spanning over a century, it is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the West Coast.
Through changing tides and shifting sands, this iconic beacon has faithfully guided seafarers navigating the waters along the rugged California coastline.That being said, I myself can attest to the lighthouse’s faithfulness. Countless times have I used the lighthouse to navigate my way home to Sail Monterey in the dark.
