Come aboard Nomad for a Santa Cruz sailing charter unlike other wildlife tours in the area. We take you to see dolphins, sea lions, and more and turn off the engine for quiet, peaceful viewing.
If you’re looking for a special way to spend the evening, book a sunset sail aboard Nomad. We love sharing the beauty of Monterey Bay with guests as the sun sets above the water.
This is hands down the ONLY place in Santa Cruz for you to go out and enjoy a day on the bay! Captain Brian and First Mate Dias made my bachelorette #lastsailbeforetheveil the BEST day in the entire world. We rolled up with champagne, sailor hats, and high heels and the men made us feel like a million bucks.
– Kat B., YelpMy friends and I had an absolute blast on our sunset sailing tour with Brian! We saw sting rays jumping out of the water, sea otters, seals, dolphin and even a momma and baby whale. Brian is a great captain, conversationalist and guide. His daughter even made us lemon bars from their lemon tree.
– Genasun G., YelpNomad was chartered for a swim in Monterey Bay. Captain Brian is very knowledgeable, safe, and the Nomad quite a sea worthy vessel. I felt very safe during my swim, and think he showed great respect for what we do. He is as personable as he is knowledgeable. I enjoyed the day spent swimming near his vessel and time spent onboard.
– Terri P., YelpBrian is a knowledgeable, experienced, professional and fun captain! He seamlessly chartered our successful Monterey Bay relay swim from Santa Cruz to Monterey on September 22nd, 2018. He monitor conditions to help us pick the perfect day, set us on a straight course and paced our swim.
– Maggie A., YelpI highly recommend the Nomad for any of your adventures, from whale watching trips, memorials at sea, private tours, swimming shenanigans, etc. I've sailed with Captain Brian a few times for different swimming adventures in the Monterey Bay from Santa Cruz, Capitola, and Moss Landing.
