This last week I took an epic voyage on the magical waters of Monterey Bay, and I encountered an awe-inspiring world of marine wildlife that surpassed all expectations. Sanctuary Cruises ( ‪@sanctuarycruises824‬ ), one of Monterey Bay’s premier whale watching tour companies, brought me aboard their luxury yacht, the Meridian, for a private charter out of Moss Landing, which allowed for an intimate and truly remarkable experience. Join me as we discover all that Sanctuary Cruises has to offer, including up-close adventures with orcas, humpback whales, and all kinds of incredible wildlife that call this bay home.

Sanctuary Cruises departs out of the Moss Landing Harbor, which is located about half way up the Monterey Bay, making it perfect for whale watching excursions from both Monterey and Santa Cruz.

Sanctuary Cruises offers a wide variety of cruising options out of the harbor at Moss Landing with multiple vessels optimized for all kinds of adventures and occasions. The eco-friendly bio-diesel Sanctuary is a 43-foot Delta Marine and is their primary whale watching vessel for group tours. Guests aboard will enjoy in-depth and insightful information from experienced marine bioligists, as well as find comfortable seating both inside and outside the cabin. These group tours are limited to no more than 22 passengers to ensure the boat never gets crowded, and they last about 3.5-4 hours, allowing for plenty of time to explore the bay and see wildlife up-close without rushing.

Today we’re setting out on Sanctuary Cruises’ 50 foot luxury motor yacht, the Meridian. This impressive vessel is perfect for private charters, allowing you to fully customize your sailing experience. Whether you’re looking to celebrate a special birthday with a sunset cruise, host a staff retreat, or hone your wildlife photography skills, the Meridian is a fantastic option.
