Sanctuary Cruises

General information

-Daily marine wildlife tours with an emphasis on whales and dolphins.
-We run a longer trip, which gives us time to find cool stuff and more time to spend with the animals.
-We're always the last boat in because we like to be out there with the marine wildlife more than anyone.
-We guarantee you will see whales or your next trip is free!
-We've partnered with the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary to help with marine education by donating a portion of all ticket sales to the foundation.
-Our trips have fewer passengers on board than any other boat in the Monterey Bay. Most marine wildlife/whale watching boats in The Monterey Bay take out between 45-120+ passengers on any given trip. Our boat Sanctuary is U.S. Coast Guard certified to carry up to 39 passengers. However, we generally average around 25 passengers per trip for a more enjoyable, informative experience for all.
-We offer a higher end trip and a better experience.
-We're the boat the locals prefer to go out with.
-No age limits and pregnant women are welcome.
-We use 99% biodiesel made from recycled vegetable oil in our brand new engines. It's better for the ocean creatures, the air, our engines & you.
-We're the only company on The Bay owned by a woman with degrees in marine biology & education and a captain with vast experience in both power boat and sailing seamanship. And we run the trips as a team. So you get the owners of the company taking you out and ensuring you have a great day with the Monterey Bay marine wildlife.
