Step Aboard for Unforgettable Moments

Whether you're a couple looking for a romantic escape, a group of friends ready for an unforgettable evening, or a photographer chasing the perfect golden-hour shot, this sunset sail sets the stage. As Sarah glides through the harbor, sea lions lounge along the docks, dolphins occasionally surface nearby, and pelicans drift effortlessly overhead. The shifting light softens the ocean's surface, creating a stunning canvas for laughter, connection, and memorable moments.

Built in the late 1800s and completed in 2005 by master boatbuilder Bill Garvie, Sarah is a classic wooden ketch that has guided sailors through the stunning waters of Monterey Bay. She carries a rich maritime heritage and represents the finest in traditional boatbuilding. Step aboard and experience the craftsmanship, the tradition, and the enduring beauty of a vessel designed for the open sea.
