We're your Key to the Monterey Bay and beyond
From youth sailing challenges to long-range voyaging, we’ve created a platform from which to weave your next Santa Cruz sailing adventure.
Nomad Charters is a sailing charter company, owned and operated by Brian and Megan Thom, in Santa Cruz, California. Since its inception, our company’s focus has been adventure, wildlife, and at-risk youth sailing challenges. Over a decade later, the focus remains strong.
Stay aboard for the night and sail by day, all the way from pleasure sunset cruises to full-on offshore sailing instruction. We will cater to your desired level of adventure; from two hours on the bay to an expedition; catching fish to catching multiple whale sightings. We work with you to make your time aboard as memorable and valuable as you can imagine it.
OUR PARTNERS
I’m Captain Thom,
I want to share my passion for the seas with you. I’m a USCG licensed captain. My license is a 100 Ton Masters with Sailing Endorsement. I am a teacher both on the water and off. On the water I teach people boating skills that fit their level of interest and passion. Off the water I hold a CA Secondary Teaching Certificate and a Master in Education. My 10 years in classroom teaching was spent with alternative high school students. Whenever I could, I integrated hands-on building programs into their curriculum.
