The sun shines bright, the breeze whispers in your ears, and the Monterey Bay glistens with clear blue waters. Captain Dutch Meyer knows these waters better than local sea lions. Step onto one of his Monterey Bay Sailing yachts and you’ll sail out into a bay full of dolphins, sea otters and whales ready for the watching. While the wind streams through your hair and smooths out your thoughts, the amazing scenery will make you forget there is a world off the water. You may love it so much you’ll want to take your turn at the helm; Monterey Bay Sailing offers classes and bareboat charters to keep the dream real. But they’re happy to steer if you want to focus on toasting the view.
